Super cool project!! I can really imagine this being helpful, I love alternative language learning tools, also keen on for e.g., Language Learning with Netflix which lets you see dual subtitles while watching netflix. I will drop my own (very naive, possibly incorrect) side project that I made while learning German myself, always happy for feedback! agol.io/trainer

I love the reading and the explanations, it's all very clear, nice work! This trainer is cool, but maybe I'm too ignorant to understand the prompts. For example, "Das Essen … Frau" What case is it looking for? I assume it's nominative, but I don't know what the context is. But "die" is not accepted. Is it implied that "the food is eaten by the woman"?

  Nominative? You want to say "the food the woman"? I don't really remember the Life of Brian skit, so I'll just skip ahead and say you may want the genetive case: "Das Essen der Frau," "the woman's food."

  Ah yes, probably needs a bit more explanation there, I wanted to expand that tool with various features like tracking user performance for each case and repeating cases with a low-performance as well, but eventually moved on from the project. I perceive this kind of stuff to be a bit lacking in e.g., Duolingo which is more focussed on phrases (and I found it to be a bit too repetitive with phrases you already know, while not being repetitive enough with things you are struggling with) which is what motivated the project in the first place. That particular example I intended the genitive case, so "das Essen der Frau" meaning the woman's food - but definitely need to make that more clear! Thanks for the feedback!
