This exists : https://learnthesewordsfirst.com/ is a "multi layer dictionary". There are 360 base words, the very first ones are explained with images, then each word is defined using the previous ones. Then there's a list of 2000 more words defined using only base words. The last layer is a full dictionary whose definitions use only these 360+2000 words.

Do you know if this exists for learning other languages? Because this is exactly what I've been looking for as a language learning tool.

I was thinking the same thing! I think it in itself should be useful as a starting point for learning many languages, by just translating them literally into the language of choice.

Very cool, thanks for sharing! I knew I couldn't have been the only person to think of this. :)
