After having bought storylearning some time ago and trying it out and leaving a review here I tried Lingopie this time.

I bought the lifetime subscription for €219 and it came with a seven day trial. There are some great things about it mainly the catalog of items available and the audiobooks.

Having said that. The platform itself is pretty bad. It seems that all the subtitles are AI translated which makes some of the translations really bad. The spaced repetition tool isn't actually testing whether you are learning any vocab and there isn't actually that much content.

When you cancel they do offer you a 30% discount so that is nice if you still would like to have lingopie.

All in all I would say it is not worth the money they charge you as similar content can be found for free and the things they charge you for are of poor quality.

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m Verónica, Spanish teacher and PhD researcher at Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona). I’m currently investigating how learners use Generative AI tools to learn Spanish, and how that shapes their autonomy as learners.

I'm looking for participants to share their experience in two ways:

1. Sharing their AI chat-logs with me (once a month or so) - just what you use to learn-study spanish, nothing personal.
2. A short interview, every two months, to talk about the chat-logs and your perception of it.

In return for your time, I’m offering free, personalized study support in Spanish (TL) (conversation practice, text reviews, answering your questions, etc.). I'll be your study partner!

The requirements are:

• to be at least 18 years old,
• to be learning spanish (TL) at the moment and using GenAI,
• to be able to communicate in Spanish and/or English.

All details regarding participation, time commitment, and data privacy are explained in this form: https://forms.gle/5BD3PfWDW8mne3U8A If you're interested in participating, please complete it and I'll contact you soon.

If you have any questions, feel free to comment below or reach out at [veronica.ponce@upf.edu](mailto:veronica.ponce@upf.edu)

Thank you!!

Hey, I'm Devin. I'm a media worker. My mom is Chinese, but I don't speak Chinese (TL).

I saw people discussing smart glasses.

Some of the features include:

Live captions of what people say

Live translations of unfamiliar words you hear

“Word upgrades” with suggestions for new words to try in context

Auto-generated study plans based on your daily conversations, common mistakes, and the types of conversations you have

I tried translation glasses when I visited China before, but honestly, the experience wasn't that great. Later, I started learning Chinese and realized that instead of just translating everything, glasses might actually be better for helping people learn a language.

Now I'm curious, has anyone actually tried using smart glasses to learn English? Did they help, or did they distract you?
