Cheers, Matthew Podolak Co-Founder @ Lingocat 🐱

Great product! It's much simpler and more elegant compared to competitors. Congrats on the launch, and looking forward to seeing the Android version soon!

Idea of messaging evokes something "natural" to me. So I reckon, people could feel motivation to learn new vocab. It is like chatting with a real friend, isn't it? Next type of practice: Write this tweet/post in this language. Real-time situations :) That's how I learned English :) especially through posting.

Looks amazing. Trying to learn German for a long time. Sad you don't have Android version. What's the pricing?

How many languages do you have? Can I learn Arabic or Mandarine by myself?

Curious about how AI can teach us better than standard human methods for foreign language given that AI seems to have learned languages in ways we don't yet understand. I've also thought that there must be other more effective methods of learning by concentrating on principles like Zipfs Law: https://youtu.be/fCn8zs912OE?t=4... to focus on words that are more used first to have the essential list of the top 100 words etc before you start talking about "taking an airplane" or "having a passport" etc

My 2¢: Have a replay feature that allows the user to hear it again at a slower pace. Sometimes, its hard to keep up when learning anything new. But great app @matthew_podolak Congratulations!
