etoku
Language-learning platform for Japanese that builds study cards from native content (TV, movies, books) the learner chooses; each card is a sentence with one unknown word or grammar point, with audio and a screenshot. Nothing is AI generated — content is taken from real native material, with a sentence analyzer that breaks sentences down into the concepts needed to understand them.
What it addresses
The most frequent concepts in native material don't make a great intro to the language, so the author curated the first 150 concepts for the course.

“I'm working on etoku (https://etoku.app), what I believe is the most efficient and fun way to learn Japanese. You pick the works (TV, movies, books) that you want to understand and each new card is a sentence from native content with one word or grammar point you don't know yet. All of the cards have audio and a screenshot. Nothing is AI generated, everything is taken from real native content.”
