A Bunch of Language Learning Software

I'm building a lot of little apps and tools for language learning, with a special focus on Egyptian Arabic. Here are a few:

Al Kutshina

Idea

Language learning is useful but very hard... Existing apps often use outdated teaching methods and rather dry gamification. To improve this state of affairs, I've built an online game where you solve image puzzles by dragging cards on a grid.

Arabic Corpus Explorer

• An experiment in data-driven learning.
• Learners practice Arabic by translating sentence by sentence from a natural language corpus.
• The prototype is available here.

Arabic Numbers Practice

• Often, language learners try to "drill" repetitive topics, such as verb conjugations or numbers.
• This is boring, and not very effective.
• To explore how to do it better, I've built a simple interface to practice the numbers from 1-100 in Egyptian Arabic.
• You can play the free online game here.

Egyptian Arabic Phrases Practice

• A free online tool to practice Arabic survival phrases — on a timer.
• Play here.

Getting Good & Getting Better

I'm generally interested in tools that help people to learn, to build expertise, to live better.

Not so rarely, I find myself in need of a customized tool to improve my workflows. This has lead to various projects.

Obsidian — The Queue

typescript obsidian api dom

• Obsidian is an excellent note-taking tool.
• However, there is a risk of creating notes that you simply never look at again.
• To fix this, I'm building an Obsidian plugin that displays random notes as habits, learning items, iterative reading content, and more.
• You can download The Queue from the community plugins, or see the repository.
