There's a lot of language learning communities on Discord full of learners and teachers doing the exact same thing but for free.
Genuine question, what makes Lingx worth the cost versus an Anki deck and one of the learning communities?
No sarcasm: thank you for recommending I look to Discord for this sort of thing. However, Discord is not open source, so I still think LangX is worthwhile for people that are strictly against proprietary software.
Not sure why you were downvoted - yes, I don't know if the app your posted is vibe coded or not, but I don't want to use a propietary platform like discord either
To be very honest, I don’t know how to find those kinds of Discord communities. But also, the language learning apps have a tap-to-translate option to instantly comprehend larger chunks of text that contain unfamiliar words. I don’t think Discord has that unless it’s something that a mod could enable and I’ve just never seen it.
You're not going to learn any language getting translations of big texts
When I joined mine I literally just googled "'language I was learning' learning Discord". Found an invite link very quickly, and joined.
On ours we have a bot that will privately translate messages for you. I don't know if they all do but I know at least a few do because I've shared the code with other servers.
Oh that’s neat, it doesn’t seem like this one has that bot, but I literally just joined it so I haven’t explored too much of it.
Can always suggest it to the moderators. It's been incredibly useful I found on ours.
Well how about that… Egg on my face. I still don’t think it’ll have the in-app tools that LangX has for studying. LangX lets you capture and study any phrase you want using spaced repetition.
That spaced repetition is what I use Anki for. I just copy and paste whatever and make a new card. It takes only a moment. There's a million other apps that do spaced repetition for free, all slightly different.
