Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Alex, and I built Erla because I got tired of language learning apps that made me feel productive but kept me stuck. The problem I kept hitting: I've been learning my third language for a while now. I'd do my lessons, maintain my streak, collect points... and then hear native speakers and understand almost nothing. I was translating in my head constantly. It was exhausting and ineffective. The insight: Understanding is everything. If you can't understand what you hear, you won't speak. You won't write. You'll freeze when someone talks to you (we've all been there). Comprehension has to come first—everything else follows. This is how children learn languages effortlessly. They listen for months before speaking. They absorb context, not flashcards. So I built Erla around this principle: comprehension-first learning. What makes Erla different: - Native audio in real-life scenarios - Short lessons (5-10 min) that fit into your day - Interactive reading — tap any sentence to see grammar, translations, context - No gamification tricks — just real progress - 22 languages available For the builders here: This is a side project while working full-time. Instead of one app, I built a system that generates 22 separate language apps (one per language). That's 1,320 total store listings with fully automated releases. Why? 22 shots at the target instead of one. Different languages = different markets and opportunities. Why I'm bootstrapping: No investors, no pressure. My goal: build something that actually helps people understand languages and gives me freedom. $10K MRR would be life-changing. What I need from you: - Try it with a language you're learning - Tell me what works and what doesn't - If you're a language learner: what's your biggest frustration with apps? I'm here all day for questions and feedback.

it would be nice to add some questions to test the listener's understanding. Also hard, easy and not sure are a strange combination of options... I do find that these exercises go very well with, and nicely contrast the kind of learning that users do on Snapalabra.
