Show HN: Lexical - How I learned 3 languages in 3 years

Really like the philosophy, and the UI looks clean. You mentioned grammar briefly, but I’m curious if you think that’s also a component that could be learned through the app? One thing that’s nice about Duolingo (despite its flaws) is that it progressively introduces new grammar concepts and uses them in the lessons. Would be cool to have something similar here.

This is huge

Can you please add Portuguese?

The philosophy resonates with me. I even built a spaced repetition app myself while in Brasil a couple of years ago. I started with lists based on things like kitchen stuff etc. you’ve inspired me to resurrect it.

By the way, it’s a bit slow - maybe you’re getting increased traffic from the HN post.

The submit button needs to deactivate after being pressed the first time otherwise you end up pressing it multiple times and it’s like that scene from Toy Story with all the Martians in the machine.

Good luck with it!

Very good tool. Can it be used to learn English, my native language is Chinese

Probably not important in the short term, but it would be cool if users could view the entire bank of 5,000 words somewhere in the app. And even cooler, something like, the words they've mastered are one color, and the words they don't know yet are another. Would be a fun way to visualize progress

I really love using this app! Such a cool article!

Great work!

I like the philosophy here — focusing on high-frequency vocab and spaced repetition is what actually moves the needle. I’ve always felt that most language apps gamify too much and teach too little.
