Hi, I just noticed the existence of LinguaCafe and i really like the idea. So I searched up their website and saw that they are still in early developement. I'd like to learn italian and that is currently an experimental language. So im wondering if there is a better service avaiable right now.

I thank you in advise and Have a great day :D

Seems like a decent idea if you have ebooks in the language you are interested to learn.

Well, the main purpose of this seems to be an eBook reader that integrates language learning and translation.

Its a good idea, but few language learners start out with a backlog of foreign language texts that they would like to read.

The exception would be your typical manga/light novel weebo, and this seems to be precisely what this is developed for with the Japanese language tools included.

No chinese support :(

I read a ton of web novels translated from Chinese, and reading the untranslated versions would be a fun way to learn Chinese. Or Korean.

I don't really like the Japanese light novels as much.

Edit: hmmm, it seems like their are similar projects, and some have custom language support. I may need to look into those into the future.
