Vladimir, I am a huge fan of learning foreign languages. What languages are going to be supported next? Any plans to support, e.g. native language to another language (my native language is Slovak, so I reckon that the level of understanding could be better when I started from Slovak –> German instead of English –> German).
Hey everyone ! I built Langread because I just hated how Duolingo helps (no) people learn langauges. In Langread you can upload a book that you like (in your native language) or just a new book you want to read, The app will gradually swap the words from native language with words from your target language you want to learn. The idea is that, the further you go into the book, the more words in the new language you will meet, and eventually you will be able to read in the language you wanted to l
Interesting approach! I can really relate to your motivation — Duolingo can be a bit annoying sometimes. By the way, I have a question: considering the various grammatical structures across different languages, do you find that changing words is more effective than changing sentences? If you have any research or references on this, I’d love to see it!
Swapping in target language words as you read your own book is actualy genius, fr—feels way more natural than random vocab drills. Rooting for you on this one!
No way, reading full books while picking up a new language? That’s the dream for language nerds like me. Is there support for different genres or just classics right now?
