Speaking as a total ignorant from a coding perspective. But I guess that wouldn’t be the hard part, considering that most of Duolinguo is just boxes and text inputs. How difficult it is to create a database of competent linguists with an efficient training who can progressively enhance your understanding of languages?

    Well I used Anki for quite some time during my studies and I really didn’t like it.

    • First of all I’m a visual guy and the UI is pretty ugly imo. For example it’s default card formatting feels very unintuitive for me.
    • Secondly the spaced repetition algorithm Anki uses isn’t as effecitve for me as Quizlet’s. Which puts me into a bad situation as I refuse to use Quizlet because it’s closed source.
    • And finally the learning quality is heavily depending on the deck. Some are really making use of the various features which make Anki so versatile but most decks don’t.

    I think it’s highly personal what suits you best but I really like the idea of a rewarding system or some fun repetition options just like Quizlet has it.
