Hey Product Hunt 👋 Orca started while I was learning German. I was taking classes two days a week, but most of my progress happened outside the classroom. I wanted a way to practice speaking more often, learn real-life everyday phrases, and fit learning into a busy schedule. The idea behind Orca is simple: each lesson focuses on 15 practical phrases you’d actually use in real conversations. After the lesson, you play a game where you must pronounce all 15 phrases correctly to pass the level and unlock the next one. To keep learning fun and motivating, Orca lets you challenge other students studying the same language, compete on leaderboards, and move forward together instead of learning alone. Orca helps to: Speak fluently and build confidence Practice pronunciation through interactive games Learn in bite-sized, focused lessons Stay motivated by learning alongside others I’m excited to share Orca with you and would love to hear your feedback, questions, and ideas.

Wow, Orca looks amazing! Love the focus on real-life phrases and pronunciation. How adaptable is the difficulty as I progress through the levels?
can I see what languages do you support before downloading the app? I've been meaning to get better at Urdu and Punjabi to connect better w Fam
A lot of language apps already offer speaking prompts and gamification—what is your strongest “why switch” argument, and where do you think existing tools systematically fail (content relevance, pronunciation feedback quality, motivation loops, etc.)?
Love the bold yellow branding. the UI looks super clean and inviting for daily use. I noticed you mentioned users must pass the pronunciation game to move forward. how do you handle edge cases where the user might get stuck due to environment noise or a difficult accent?
@ahmedbna Yo! Cool app to train recall! Just an idea: what if language teachers and tutors could upload the active vocabulary lists to the app, so that their students could work on them off-class? Another thought is that it could help non-beginners to expand vocabulary that they pick across mediums. Cool mascot, btw, I love orcas!
Really like the focus on speaking and pronunciation. How do you evaluate pronunciation accuracy across different accents, and how strict is the feedback?
Looks interesting! Is it totally free? I'm starting to learn Spanish from zero, will it help?
@ahmedbna hello, congratulations on the launch!
did I understand correctly that the learning process is done by voice, the point is to pronounce phrases correctly?
Congrats on the launch! The bite-sized, phrase-first speaking focus is gold.
Maybe one question – wouldn't be distracting for the learners to have a dynamic screen (swimming orca) and learn the new vocabulary? My attention was a little bit divided. 😅
