The Problem

Language learners struggle to maintain proficiency and practice speaking without dedicating focused study time. Existing apps are often too gamified, require staring at a screen, or involve unsafe interactions with strangers, making it difficult to integrate practice into busy lifestyles like commuting or traveling.

Potential Solution

A mobile app that runs in the background, processing real-world audio content (YouTube, podcasts) in the target language. It uses AI to generate hands-free listening comprehension checks and vocabulary prompts based on the user's proficiency level, allowing users to practice while driving, exercising, or doing chores without needing to look at a screen.

Why Now?

With the rise of advanced AI audio processing and the 'micro-learning' trend, users are demanding tools that fit seamlessly into mobile-first, busy lifestyles rather than requiring dedicated desk time.

LingoDeer - Learn Languages

The gift that keeps on giving Once upon a time I wasn’t sure if LingoDeer would be worth the money, especially with so many free apps out there. I’m pleased to report that LingoDeer is worth every penny. The money for the subscription ensures that its content is actually vetted, unlike some other apps. It’s also great that it presents the material in different ways through the accompanying LingoDeer+ app.

Very disappointing experience. The app did not work as expected, and I found it difficult to use. The features were not helpful for me, and the overall experience needs a lot of improvement.

Fluently: AI Language Learning

Wasted time and gathered my data for nothing The onboarding process takes a lot of time — it asks for my age, gender, interests, and learning preferences. But right after collecting all this personal information, it demands a subscription (monthly or annual). There is no free trial, no demo, and no way to skip it to see if the app is actually worth it. I got zero value while they got all my data. Very disappointed.
