I've been working on a language learning app for the last year and a half, and quarantine time has definitely given me even more bandwidth to work on it. Been a source of real pleasure these last couple of months, actually.
The app itself is a bit of a different take on the problem space than many of the other well-known offerings in the market. iOS only for now, SwiftUI, and built around enabling "Compelling & Comprehensible Input"-based language acquisition using video, audio, and text you've supplied yourself.
Interestingly - when I started the project I reckoned it would be about 2 years to shipping something useful, which would mean about Q3/Q4 2020. I'm starting to think that estimate was, shockingly, about right.
Cheers to everyone and their projects!
- codethief 6y agoCould you elaborate on how your app is going to be different from other apps (like Duolingo or Fluent Forever)? I'm always very interested in hearing how other people learn new languages.
