Language learning through reading
About the Author
My name is Serhii. I am a developer originally from Ukraine, currently living in Spain. I have many years of experience working with JavaScript and Python, and in recent years I've developed a strong interest in Rust—which became one of the additional reasons for creating this app.
Many years ago, I started learning English on my own using absolutely everything—from various techniques to popular tools like Duolingo. They gave me a solid foundation and basic vocabulary, but ultimately, what really helped me speak fluently was working with native speakers in an English-speaking company.
After moving to Spain, my new goal was to learn Spanish. I thought about the methods that helped me retain words the most and initially tried classic reading services like LingQ. However, I wasn't satisfied with their pricing, performance speed, or the lack of truly effective trainers. So I thought, why not use one of the fastest programming languages to build a custom tool that helps me learn Spanish in my native Ukrainian? I love the reading method with word tracking, especially when you can practice your weakest words afterwards. At first, I considered making the trainer completely free. But as the app grows, server resources and AI integrations for translation impose real costs. That's why I decided to set a highly accessible price of €1—an amount anyone can afford—to cover expenses and perhaps turn this into a passionate lifelong project. After all, empowering others to learn and grow is a huge motivation for me. Join the platform if you do not mind spending €1 for a reading subscription and €5 for all current and future trainers I will develop. If even this amount represents a hardship for you, please write me an email; I will review your case and we'll figure something out.
