Yap: Daily Sentences Widget

Maker

📌

As a lifelong language learner, I know how hard it is to keep up daily routines for language study. I also realized that after reaching an intermediate level, most language learning apps stop being useful. I created Yap because I wanted to practice with longer, complex sentences so I could learn new words in context. I particularly wanted the home screen widget functionality so I couldn't escape the routine - every time I use my phone, I read a new sentence in my target language. Hope you find Yap as useful as I do!

@keshini_ If you mean learning two languages at once, it currently does not :(. I would love it to, I'll keep it in mind for the future! Currently, since I'm learning Spanish and Chinese, I have my target lang set to Chinese and my base language in Spanish, so I get practice with both.

Congrats on the launch! I think this is a really efficient way to learn bits and pieces of a new language, day by day 😊 One quick feedback: I think the homescreen widget is not visually appealing enough to deserve a shiny spot in one’s homescreen 😅 I’d put some effort on making the widget look gorgeous, because when it comes to iOS homescreen beauty, people can be very picky >:) Best of luck with your project!

@rogeroba Thank you that's great feedback! I definitely want to add some customizability to the widget, but now I'll have to think about ways to make it real gorgeous.

💡 Bright idea

I’m really enthusiastic about the idea behind the app! I believe that one of the most effective methods for language learning is through context, using real-life examples, and that’s exactly what Yap provides. To make it more attractive to users, it might be beneficial to work on the design a bit. I’m looking forward to seeing the app’s future improvements! :)

@katja_varjacic1 Thank you! And yes about context! One of the large inspirations for this app was the concept of Comprehensible Input - know 95% of the words so you can intuit the other 5% naturally and you'll acquire the language easily :)
