Show HN: Language learning app for intermediate speakers (langturbo.com)

1 points by sebnun ↗ HN
Hi, I made this web app to help overcome the "language learning plateau" that is common with intermediate language learners.

This is basically a podcast player that will help you discover podcasts in your target language, it transcribes podcasts and gives you feedback about what you hear in the context of the sentence you are reading.

I made something similar in the past, but it had too many functions and it covered all language levels. I rewrote the whole thing and just kept the essentials. This is what I use myself and it has helped me a lot. Hope it helps some of you too.

This is built with NextJs, I also have native apps almost ready, but I'm not really sure if people would prefer to install something instead of just using the web app. What do you think? Let me know if you find this helpful or what can be improved. Thanks.

Not only would I not want to install something, I don't even want to sign up without knowing what exactly I'm signing up for.

I recommend letting the user directly dive into say 5 minutes of demo content and putting a signup form at the end.

Makes sense, I could add a player with a sample podcast per language before the signup form. Thanks for the feedback.
