Hi Product Hunt! I’m the CEO of CornerstoneLabs, but more importantly, I’m someone who has spent years frustrated by the "intermediate plateau" in language learning. I’ve used almost every app out there. They are great for the basics, but I found that they rarely prepare you for the real world. I’d finish my daily lessons, open a local news site, and realize I still couldn't understand a single headline. I built Catalingo to solve that specific gap for myself and others. The goal was simple: Make real-world content accessible to everyone. We built a system that scrapes current news and—this is the part I'm most excited about—automatically rewrites it into different difficulty levels. That way, you aren't stuck with "baby stories" just because you are a beginner, and you aren't overwhelmed by complex jargon just because you want to read the news. A few things we’ve focused on: * Freshness: Automated feeds so you’re learning from today's world. * Context: Tap-to-translate and instant quizzes to help the new words actually stick. * Community: A space for users to write and share their own articles. We’re keeping the price point very low (€4/month) because I genuinely want this to be a tool that anyone can use to bridge the gap to fluency. You can also try it for free with 5 articles a day. I’m here all day and would love your honest feedback. I’m especially curious to hear how the rewritten levels feel to native speakers and learners alike! Thanks for checking us out, Nathanael Dousa
