I like the concept of this! There's definitely a problem being solved here in that there's so much vocabulary to learn in a language. However, with the cards being pop-ups, is there a risk of having to context-switch between what you were looking at and the card a potential issue?

@kay_pengelly That is a very interesting question! We have worked for a very long time to design our tool as efficiently as possible. One of the main requirements was to develop Learnee in a way that it is not distracting. We managed to do that very well with the following features: 1. you can adjust the transparency of the flashcard 2. you can choose any position on the screen where the flashcard will appear 3. you can adjust the time interval and the duration of the appearance 4. you can enable "do not distruct" mode (currently not available in the beta version) So you can customize the software very well to your own needs. The next reason is that the time needed to view the new word is extremely short. So you don't forget the topic you were working on before (short time memory has a storage capacity of about 30 secons and looking at or repeating a new word takes 10-20 seconds). And last but not least... download the beta version for free and see for yourself that it works and is not distracting :)

Nice product! How many flashcards can one expect to see popping for one particular language? And can you also set some kind of level, not to start with the most basic vocabulary?

@rubenwolff Hey Ruben, thank you very much! We will provide about 1000 flashcards for each language first. Why 1000? According to Browne et al. [1], you only need to learn 700 words to acquire the core spoken vocabulary in English. ‘1000 words allow you to understand about 70% of the language which surrounds you, as long as it is not too specialized’ [2]. Yes, we will of course work on a good structure to allow you to adjust the level to your own needs: starting with a rough filtering by language level A1, A2, B1, etc. to the individual filtering, so that you can choose every day a pair of words that you do not know and want to learn.
