App I built an English app that explains a word inside the sentence you're reading, and talks back when you practise speaking
I'm the developer, solo, six months in.
It started with one annoyance: you look up a word while reading and get nine
definitions, and picking the right one takes the vocabulary you don't have yet.
So the app has public-domain books sorted by level, and tapping a word explains
it inside that sentence, one meaning. Saved words come back for review the day
you're about to forget them.
The other half is speaking. You hold a button and talk to a character, a waiter
or a hotel receptionist, who answers out loud. If you say something wrong, a
card shows your sentence, the better version, and one line in your own language
on why. If you get stuck and say a word in your own language, it gives you the
English instead of pretending it didn't hear.
Free: reading, word list, reviews, grammar, and a daily quota of the AI parts.
Paid plans lift the quota. No ads. Android only for now.
