Show HN: The app will send you essential English words every day, free
- turtlekey 5y agosorry, there is no such app on my Google Play(Andriod), so whethere there is another palce to download it, such as github?
- newsbinator 5y agoThe tricky thing, I've found, is putting context to the words. Otherwise it feels like receiving a random word for no particular reason, and that makes it hard to remember or learn to use properly. It's fine for cognates, like a French speaker receiving English words that are nearly 1:1 the same. But if you're a Korean speaker or something, you might have a lot more distance to cover to actually parse the word/meaning and start using it correctly.
- phongttjqkat 5y agoThanks for your comment, that's true. So you learn the words through notifications, forget it, and learn it again another day util those words belong to you and you move to the next level.
- jerjerjer 5y ago> This app will send you new words (with translation) With definition, not translation. Come on, I expect better from a vocabulary web site.
- phongttjqkat 5y agoIf you open the notification you will see the translate
- turtlekey 5y agosorry, there is no such app on my Google Play(Andriod), whether there is another place to download the app, such as github?
- tdeck 5y agoIt shows up for me. Perhaps the developer has a region restriction?
- phongttjqkat 5y agoNo, I have set the app to be avail worldwide, may be Play Store issue
- turtlekey 5y agoI have installed the app anyway, but there is no translation for Chinese (howerver other 100+ languages are supported), I don't know why, but I feel my country is deliberately offended really. Maybe you should add the words "BAN CHINESE" in your instruction for your app, so that all Chinese will thank you for saving their time .
- phongttjqkat 5y agoSorry it was my mistake, I didn't realize there are Chinese (Simplified) with code zh-CN and Chinese (Traditional) code zh-TW in Google Translate. I have zh in the list but since zh isn't a valid code then GG rejected it Added them all now. I have no reason to ban any languages!
- turtlekey 5y agoNow everything is ok, thank you and the app is awesome. I apologize for my recklessness if I was.
- tdeck 5y agoThis is a ridiculous reaction.
