Fabling.app

This app helps people learn languages (Spanish) by using AI to generate stories pitched slightly beyond the learner's current understanding (i+1 input), mostly using words they know or are learning plus a few new ones. It tracks the learner's vocabulary and how often they look up definitions, and auto-generates a vocab review deck using FSRS/Anki-style spaced repetition.

Last shared For Learners studying languages (Spanish in particular), including the author who was frustrated with Duolingo.

    “Fabling.app Got tired of trying to learn Spanish with Duolingo. This uses the parts of AI that can actually help one learn efficiently, namely: - generate stories that are slightly beyond your understanding (i+1) - i.e mostly words you know or are learning, and a few new words - tracks your vocab and how often you lookup définitions - auto generates a vocab review deck (using fsfr Anki style)”
