@kaan_bingoel I just realized you talk about the map on the website. It's a free image I used and haven't checked if countries are displayed properly. I will fix that with the next version. 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷

Fun idea, very tangible. I do speak four languages myself, had a look at Spanish, but do doubt whether newbies will be able to pick this up. Tiempo can eg be both time and weather. Eran means they were, usted is the third person (formal), so translating it so simply does leave out context. Solid challenge ahead to provide a bit more context to he or she that's learning. Good luck.

@kaan_bingoel It's not the creator's fault. It is unfair for you to say he doesn't have respect. His focus is on the product NOT images.

TL;DR: It is a shame. The better version can be to create 1 page with links to quizlet "1000 most used words in (SPECIFY LANGUAGE)" decks. Thanks for creating this app. The design looks good and easy to navigate. But. The main goal of this application is to learn a language and the application does not solve this problem. Let's check with French. Problem with context/part of speech. The first word in the list "comme" translated as "as" which is true, but later it is going to appear as "like" which is also true, but why it was not shown before? Next word: "même" which is "even" (as adverb) and "same" (as adjective) You put all different words in one place. Usually you have context like "Top 100 nouns" or "Top 100 kitchen". Problem with conjugation. être - for some reason it returns random forms for past, for third person. But not for single person. Maybe there is a reason. "en attente" what does it mean? Because translation is wrong, if you want "held" than it is tenu(e). And also it is no longer one word. Similar to "est allé". The last interesting thing is French word: "needs a context 🤷"which defined as "don’t"? WAT? At this point I realized that you copied list from somewhere (bijvoorbeld: https://quizlet.com/vn/247023917... (created 2 year ago) but I also believe it was copied from somewhere like: 1000mostcommonwords dot com) without validation and just put them as it is.

TL;DR: you should download some anki deck instead, the content is (at least in russian and japanese, the only languages I checked) is not curated and plain wrong. The Idea is simple enough. Learning 1k most used words should be enough to understand simple conversation, allowing to pick up other words from context. Word in target language - word in native language is the simplest way to achieve that. Props for elegance. Now for the hard part: there is no one to one relation from one language to the other. That means that some words are useless to study without context since they are not used in the same places in different languages. Second thing is that the single word family can change its form. Its multiple forms of the same word. Third thing is: are they really 1k most popular words? Is the translation correct? I checked my native language and saw that none of those problems are solved. This is worse than a waste of time - this is harmful as it is. A couple of examples from the start: "как" is not strictly "as", что is not strictly "that", в is not usually "at", "является" is encountered in multiple forms, also its not used as "is", "это" is not strictly "it", "гора" is mountain and not "forest", "назад" is not "an", "домой" is in wrong form, etc. I've been studying japanese for a bit, and "アール" is not are and "アット" is not at. Grammar is different, and the 1-to-1 relationship is almost never true.

Hey PH 👋, I was pretty much inspired by the post about learning any languages in 3 months published on Tim Ferriss' blog almost 11 years ago (https://tim.blog/2009/01/20/lear...). When it comes to learning (and pretty much doing anything) I try to be as effective as possible - so the idea just hit me when I walked home a few weeks ago. Let's create an app that helps you learn the most common words of the most popular languages by creating virtual cards. A few weeks later, here is the very beta version. Please, let me know what you think about the app - any feature request is more than welcome. 🙂 📣📣📣 Last year, I decided to learn to code and build products while working full-time. I ended the year with 6 and I intend to continue the challenge in 2020. If you're interested, I'm documenting my progress here: https://blog.iamtamas.com/
