Hi, OP here. I wanted to share a few additional points about Latudio's approach:
Latudio is designed with a specific focus - like a Unix tool, it does one thing and aims to do it well. That one thing is improving your listening comprehension. Although we do not have dedicated exercises for grammar (though you'll naturally pick grammar up along the way), we have tools to enlarge and explore your vocabulary as well as practice writing and speaking.
Latudio works best if you already have some basic vocabulary and grammar understanding. While not for complete beginners, you don't need to be advanced either - if you can understand simple sentences in your target language, you're ready to start.
On the technical/privacy side: I made a conscious decision to build Latudio without any trackers or analytics beyond the bare minimum needed for functionality. We use Plausible for website visits tracking, but that's about it. This makes marketing more challenging - our marketing team keeps telling me how much easier their job would be with more user data, if we could target our ads better... But I value user's (and mine) privacy highly and so I don't want to do to others what I don't like being done to me, even if it means growing more slowly.
Happy to answer any questions!
