• I need a detailed guide with all Italian sounds supplemented by audios or videos.

  You might want to check out the Fluent Forever learning model and their app. Their pronunciation trainer does something similar to what you're talking about. Source: about 1 year ago

• Experience with 625 Fluent Forever words in a weekend. Image -> Irish

  I read the book Fluent Forever and it recommends Anki so I thought I would try it. It says use images as a setup to avoid trying to translate in your head. And has 625 common and fairly concrete words to start people off. Source: over 1 year ago

• Anki SRS Algorithm

  You might find this app relevant, one of the ideas behind it is that by selecting your own images the concepts stick better: https://fluent-forever.com/index.html. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Best methods for accent reduction?

  A way to become aware of these subtle differences is practicing minimal pairs. I recommend Fluent Forever (https://fluent-forever.com/index.html), which I'm using. They have a 14 day free trial period and that's enough time for you to go through their listening and pronunciation section. You also learn the relevant parts of IPA for your TL while doing this.

• The idea that western methods are better at teaching Japanese than the methods used in the Japanese education system

  I subscribed for the free trial, and see if I can stick to it. Https://fluent-forever.com/app/. Source: about 3 years ago

• Anki – Powerful, intelligent flash cards

  Check out Mochi if you’re looking for an alternative. It probably ticks most of your boxes already. https://mochi.cards/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Anki – Powerful, intelligent flash cards

  No one has mentioned it yet, so I'll drop this alternative: https://mochi.cards/ Much prettier than Anki, has a simpler algorithm that doesn't require rating difficulty, and has lots of the same features. I'm a subscriber just because of the cloud sync - wish I could self-host but I'm happy to support the developer. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• WhisperSpeech – An Open Source text-to-speech system built by inverting Whisper

  Not OP, but I develop Mochi [0] which is a spaced repetition flash card app that has text-to-speech and a bunch of other stuff built in (transcription, dictionaries, etc.) that you might be interested in. [0] https://mochi.cards. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• How to Learn Fast

  You can try Mochi (not my site) if you don't like Anki. Source: 9 months ago

• Some notes on local-first development

  I built Mochi [0] from the ground up to be local first. The architecture is built around pouchdb for the local database which syncs to and from a remote couchdb database. It's been a challenge to implement and in hindsight I wonder if it was even worth it. Unfortunately neither of these technologies are very widely used any more (if they ever were). I am glad there is a lot of development and research in this area... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
