Hello everyone,
I am looking for people who would be willing to test out the app and provide feedback. Currently looking for anyone but would be nice to have few beginners, intermediate and advanced learners to get feedback from the whole spectrum of learners. So please write in this post if you are willing to test it.
The whole application has 2 databases that fetches information from.
- Krdict -> primary use is for English translation and definitions)
- Opendict -> this is mostly for the intermediate/advanced learners who wish to get more specific information regarding the word (its all in Korean).
The app has these features:
- Collection (you can add words, sentences, grammar) into your collection to later use in exercises or in flashcards. Each word or grammar also stores sentences in which that word/grammar was used so they can be practiced in the exercises. Any word you add can either be manually set (translation, definition or example sentences) or you can analyse it and it will automatically fill out the information for you.
- Immersion -> you can add YouTube video (preferably with Korean subtitles) and user can save all the words or any specific word into their collection. Whenever user clicks on the word it automatically shows you translation, definition.
- Learn -> in the future I plan to add modules for users to study/learn but for that I will need Korean teacher to create them so they make sense (which will cost, so thats why I plan to do it later)
- Practice -> Here you will find different exercises like:
- flashcards (for now its only KR -> EN, but planning to add EN -> KR and also mix)
- Matching game (you have many words and you match kr with english)
- Situational Vocab (user can "TAG" words in collection like (닭기 -> fruit, food), and then in situational vocab practice that specific tags.
- Grammar Match is to practice grammar patterns user has saved in their collection with the sentences the grammar point was used in.
- Listening games (from youtube) randomly get a segment of video you have saved in (Immersion), play it and try to put the correct answer.
For the practice I would like to know which other exercises to add/remove or completely re-do
TOPIK -> In the future I plan to create topik tests (that will also require some Korean teacher) so they are correct/natural.
Currently working on adding a Classroom (for teachers) and they can then add (students) into their classroom, where they can create their own private tests, upload files, give assignments but that is still in progress and would need a teacher to give me feedback what is even needed/necessary or completely useless 😃
There is an extension and with that you can add any word into your collection from any website.
The current subscription is 4.99 a month and only extension is gated behind it. other than that the app is free. Which for few people who are willing to test the app I can give extra permissions to also test the extension for free.
I dont plan nor want to put adds on the website.
The website is called vocabforge and you can find it here https://www.vocabforge.app/
