Nice! I built the same thing to learn chinese[0], it even has the in-context word lookup!

I have a feature request: if I don't have a pinyin IME installed, it's very hard to use - it would be nice to have an in-browser one!

OK I played with this some more, it's so good - exactly what I dreamed of!!

A couple more bits of feedback:

(1) The "suggestion" / "I'm unsure" etc. feedback is fantastic

(2) Word segmentation doesn't seem to be working properly, and so the context lookup doesn't work right. Example:

中国 should be parsed as a single word ("china"), but it's parsed as individual characters ("middle", "kingdom").

This means I have to tab out to a dictionary to look up words, and it's a bit annoying to select the right text.

Thanks! The tricky bit is to make this work in different languages where the "space" is not used to separate the different words, such as Chinese. We should implement a real Chinese lemmatizer there to chunk the words.

Not sure if you saw it, but we already have pinyin in there. If you open up the settings and tick "show pronunciations" they will appear above the chat messages.
