Nice start to an app.

One thing I would recommend is capitalizing the nouns in German. It's really weird seeing them written lowercase.

That would give away a hint to the answer since you'd know if the answer should be capitalized or not depending on whether the English word is a noun, so maybe you could make sure possible answers are all nouns or all non -nouns to compensate.


Thanks! Yeah, good point


I really enjoy this. Thank you. I could see all sorts of customization, like spaced repetition based on failures or speed of response, putting two words together, etc.

Keep going!


Thanks for the really nice feedback!


This is a language learning tool that I hope you will enjoy! You can train your Spanish and German vocabulary with it.

I documented my journey of building this on youtube, check it out here: https://youtu.be/1OOIW7ZWITg

Currently I'm working on multiplayer and after that probably a leaderboard.


This is great good job. I found the score being cut off vertically on my mobile device and also found the “guess duration” to get impossibly fast after a certain point


Happy you like it! Thanks for the feedback


Nice work. Its easy to get started with it and entertaining.


I appreciate the nice feedback!
