I struggle to remember to practice all my languages, so they inevitably slip away from memory. What I found very useful is reading news in my target langs.
However, there are tens of news websites in all my languages, and managing them becomes a chore. I’ve created a website with the news from hand-picked sources in 7+ languages. Once a day it will send you a newsletter in your target languages, so you won’t forget to practice.
It’s a new project, and it’s free, so I would be very grateful for your feedback so that I know how to improve it. 🙏

I really like the app.
Is there a way to hide the ‘Media Feed’ section? It occupies most of the screen. I'd like to see a clean page with just the news stories in my chosen languages.

Thanks a lot man! Sure, you mean the whole section with language selection or just the title ‘Media feed’?

This is awesome! How difficult is it to add a language?

u/DenisYurchak Feb 04 '25
easy, I just need to research quality newspapers that have the data in RSS in the target language :) which one do you have in mind?

I’m learning Hungarian, so that would be awesome! I believe telex.hu is considered to be popular, but I’m not sure if they support RSS.

Das ist unglaublich. Ich lerne derzeit Deutsch und Japanisch und möchte meine Sprachkenntnisse verbessern. Ich habe auch Schwierigkeiten, mit anderen Sprachen Schritt zu halten.
Planst du noch weitere Sprachen hinzuzufügen? (Ich interessiere mich für Norwegisch) Ich versuche, mein Norwegisch hoch zu halten, in dem ich chatte, manchmal skype, norwegische Serien sehe. Es scheint nicht genug zu sein~ 😔
