LWT-fork, a language learning app

I’m the developer of LWT-fork (or LWT, Learning With Texts), an app that allows you to read book in foreign languages. It is a big successor to LWT.

Original LWT logo

LWT, standing for Learning With Texts, allows to read texts in foreign languages from your browser, I built my version on top of the previous project of the same name, as I thought it could reach larger public.

Read in Target Language

The idea is simple: let’s say you want to learn French, but you feel that it is too difficult to read because your lack vocabulary? We provide translations on click! Just import your text and the magic happens.

You only need to load the app, have your text pasted in the text box zone:

You can now save it, and you will have a nice view of the next where every time you click a work you don’t know, it’s translation will appear. Of course, translation are saved, and the color of the word will change depending on how good you know a word (see the test section). Here is a screenshot of your text after some time, if you click “dire”.

Isn’t that wonderful? But there is more, as you can review words using the tests feature.

Test Words

Every day, you can test word with a Spaced Repetition based algorithm. You can also display words in their context, which avoid loosing the some precious information.

But There is More

The software has an increasing amount of features: built-in support for more than 40 languages, including right-to-left scripts and Japanese, audio, video and much more. It is still in active development, and only waits for your input to become even better.

I hope you will find LWT to your liking, and that it will help you learn new languages. Please become a stargazer if that is the case!
