This looks sweet! The jellyfin integration especially looks awesome as I find watching videos an excellent way to actively absorb new vocabulary.

My current self study centers around movies/tv and Linq, which this tool seems very similar to.

I'm learning Dutch, so it's a bummer that it's not supported currently, but I'm keen to dig in and see how much effort it takes to add a new language.



If you're shopping around for new ways to learn languages from watching movies/tv, I'm working on another language learning application. I just wrote up the basic features this weekend [1]

We support many languages out of the box, would love to hear what's making you consider LinguaCafe over LingQ :)

Hello, when do you plan on launching the beta version?


I'm onboarding my second cohort of beta applicants this week, I hope to have a public beta by the end of the quarter or so!

I noticed a lot of signups from this post, I'll try to do another round of onboarding this month.


I would be delighted to beta test. I would want to work on my spoken Portuguese so I could interact more naturally with my Brazilian colleagues.

I study French, German, Swedish, Mandarin, Japanese, Portuguese, Latin, dabbling in Polish, though it’s hard to find shows dubbed in Latin :). Someday will get to Russian and maybe learn Icelandic as a way of getting closer to the roots of English… but alas life is not forever.

I’ve written some LLM-based software for generating podcasts (www.anyglot.com, but the server currently offline). This project showed me that GPT4 is excellent at generating content in English, and in doing various NLP tasks but not translation which was better left for Google. ElevenLabs voices are fantastic but their Japanese would invent weird Kanji readings, tho that was when Multilingual V2 just came out so maybe they’ve fixed that already.


If you apply for the beta, you should get an invite sometime this month :) or feel free to reach out to me directly ben [at] phrasing [dot] app


I agree there. The Jellyfin integration here is the absolute killer feature. I hope to see the first documentation on how to set it up soon.


Hi!

I've added Dutch.
