It doesn't handle homonyms well, since the AI isn't given contextual reference. The sentences are also too simple on advanced level, so you don't get much more out of it than just reviewing the words. The AI coming up with words for you doesn't add a ton of value, most languages have standardized tests with good word lists that learners should already be using. Adding the issues others mentioned, I think this is feasible but needs agents taking additional steps to mimic what a real tutor would do and formulate a useful short lesson.

Personally I find Duolingo great for Japanese, I have the opposite problem: I run out of hearts if I try to do review and the app rarely gives me much old content, so I don't practice it. If this could come up with Duolingo-esque lessons for different levels I might use it to supplement. But letting users choose words/a topic is not necessarily important, most people don't know what they should study so it might be better to have "recommended" premade decks for different levels.

This is incredibly valuable feedback.

I plan to refine the content certainly. If you have examples I could use for a baseline to achieve what you want that would help me back test against I'll try to add that into the next release batch.

> If this could come up with Duolingo-esque lessons for different levels I might use it to supplement. I see the app to be used in tandem with a structured lesson rather than structured lessons in the app. Similar to an Anki study deck.

I had looked into lessons for the app on my 3rd iteration of this and went through a massive refactor for it all to be lesson based. In the end, it felt like AI slop so I kept it simple with vocab to start. In any case, I will refine the marketing copy to reflect that.
