Superb idea, it makes so much sense to look up foreign words this way that it's suprising we weren't learning languages this way already.

- visarga 10y agoPretty soon there will be even less reason to learn (so many) foreign languages, because automated translation is going to get very good, unless you need it on the street.
- luxpir 10y agoShame some people have such a negative view of learning a foreign/new language. You're not just learning a language, but a whole culture. New ways of thinking, interacting and connecting with the world. Such intense focus on computer-based solutions robs us of genuinely fulfilling life experiences, swapping them out for quick dopamine hits and thousands of completely forgettable 'oh cool' moments.
- visarga 10y agoI personally subscribe to your view, but was thinking outside my perspective. I have learned a couple of foreign languages pretty well and enjoy comparing cultures and ways of thinking.
