Simple!?!? Ha!

This is a very polished to be called simple although simple is subjective. I've been developing language learning tools as a hobby during my programming journey, so it's great fun to try new stuff.

Problems...

I opened this in Hews2 Chrome browser and it got stuck on the "say the word" part. You might want to add a skip button there.

The sound effect audio is about twice the volume of the narrator audio.

Overall, it's great looking and engaging, even for an adult.

Questions I would like to ask but I understand if you don't want to answer.

I tried the Finnish language. Was that an AI voice? I just can't tell anymore.

What stack did you develop the front end with? How did you like it?

Thank you so much for your feedback! I’ll work on incorporating your suggestion about skipping the "Say the word" game. I've already moved it to the last step of the demo since many users tend to deny microphone permissions.

As for the voices and translations, yes, both are AI-generated. AI has played a significant role in these areas.

Thanks again! Please, let me know if you had any other feedback. I'm listing comments to create a tasklist for myself to fix all these issues
