Hello everyone! I've spent years learning Asian languages. I tried a lot of different tools and none of them met my needs So I built LangPanda for myself, and for anyone who learns the same way.
This is cool! I studied languages (French and Italian) at uni and find the way that we learn languages fascinating. Learnt Mandarin at school too, which I found much harder to pick up much to Mrs Pan's dismay, so something like this would have really helped! Does it work with any video, do you just select a video and it adds subtitles?
I think situational learning is much more important. For example, I arrive in Mexico and go to a restaurant. I take photos of the menu, dishes, objects on the table, and so on, and it immediately shows me the names using real examples. That would be really cool to build - I would use something like that myself!
Love the concept behind LangPanda. Learning through shows feels much more natural compared to traditional language apps, especially for building listening skills and real vocabulary. The instant dictionary and flashcard creation are a really smart addition. Congrats on the launch!
This is actually a very cool idea. Most people already spend hours watching Netflix or YouTube, so turning that time into language learning makes a lot of sense. The vocabulary tracking feature looks especially useful for staying consistent without making learning feel like homework.
This caught my eye because tokenization is the silent killer for that language group. Mandarin and Thai have no spaces, Japanese mixes three scripts in one sentence, Korean spacing rules are loose. Did you build the segmenter yourself or wrap something existing like jieba or MeCab? Great job!
This is pretty cool IMO. If we could turn any content we consume and face to in every-day life into a language we wanna to learn, we would be native speakers soon!
I'd love to see it in action! Do you have demo content? I couldn't find it on the home page.
