I built PokiSpokey because I was frustrated with traditional language learning apps they teach you textbook sentences nobody actually says. I wanted to hear how real people use words in real situations, not staged dialogues.
So I built a search engine for spoken language. You type a word, it finds the exact millisecond it's spoken across thousands of YouTube videos, and plays it in context. Then an AI explains the pronunciation, grammar, and cultural nuance right there.
It supports English, Spanish, French, and German with more coming. Would love your feedback on what languages or features to prioritize next!

Love this concept, exactly the kind of tool I wish existed when I was learning tricky pronunciation. One thing that would make it even better: let me save clips to personal lists with my own notes, so I can build themed decks for things like minimal pairs or business phrases to review later.

@berkevgo Thank you so much, this genuinely made my day, and yes you right personal clips with notes is hands down the most requested feature and honestly one I want myself, It's on the roadmap.

A subtitle toggle would be huge so I can read along while watching the clip, especially for the longer podcast segments. Maybe even let me click any word in the subtitle and jump to other videos where it was said in context.

@enes1079327 Thanks for the review! and for clicking any word gives you an option to search all other clips where that word appears. Give it a try and let me know if anything feels off.

the AI chat is a nice touch but it would help a lot if you could bookmark specific clips and build a personal list of examples to revisit later for practice

@buket132161 Thanks for the review! Bookmarking clips and building personal lists is probably the most requested feature so far it's at the top of the roadmap. Will tag you when it ships.

Love how it jumps straight to the exact clip instead of making me scrub through whole videos. The native speaker audio paired with AI context makes pronunciation practice feel way more natural than flashcards ever did.

@ensar90917 This is exactly the feeling I was going for when building it, flashcards always felt disconnected from how language actually sounds in the wild. Really glad it's clicking for you!

Poked around with a few Spanish phrases and it found real clips in seconds which is honestly pretty cool. The AI chat explaining the slang usage was a nice touch.

@arzuqalz Thanks! Glad it worked for Spanish slang, that's honestly one of my favorite use cases for it.
