Should i host LinguaCafe or are there better alternatives?

Hi, I just noticed the existence of LinguaCafe and i really like the idea. So I searched up their website and saw that they are still in early developement. I’d like to learn italian and that is currently an experimental language. So im wondering if there is a better service avaiable right now.

I thank you in advise and Have a great day :D

I’m aware of LWT and LUTE with the same concept. Neither comes with predefined languages or texts, so they should work for any language as long as you have some texts you want to read.

Thank you

Of the programs in that list, the only one I’ve heard of before is LibreLingo, and I’m not sure how good or bad it is. (It seems different enough from LinguaCafe that they might be complement each other more than compete.)

Shadow_Zwiebel,

I’ll look at it. Thank you

Seems like a decent idea if you have ebooks in the language you are interested to learn.

Shadow_Zwiebel,

What exactly do you mean?

Well, the main purpose of this seems to be an eBook reader that integrates language learning and translation.

Its a good idea, but few language learners start out with a backlog of foreign language texts that they would like to read.

The exception would be your typical manga/light novel weebo, and this seems to be precisely what this is developed for with the Japanese language tools included.

Shadow_Zwiebel,

Seems like i didnt read enough. I didnt really notice that the purpose is a ebook reader… But this concept seems actually very promising. I like it
