The Ultimate FREE Vocab Tool for Language Learning Spaced Repetition Audio Files - 34+ Languages

I built a spaced-repetition tool for you to use FREE, where you can create unlimited audio drills for 34 languages right on your local machine-no internet or data sharing required. Whether you're gradually transitioning from your mother tongue to solely listening and understanding your target language, or comparing similar languages like Cantonese and Mandarin, or Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish, or Russian, Ukrainian, and Polish, this tool makes it possible. In this video, I'll demonstrate how a bit of tech knowledge can significantly enhance your learning experience, allowing you to break free from paywalls and take control of your education. Join me to see how technology can empower your language learning journey.
Here's the repository:
bitbucket.org/...
The tool is in /dotfiles/stubin/voice-reps-mac

Great to have you back, Stuart! 😊🎉

[@StuartJayRaj]

Thank you - Great to BE back :)

[@James_zai_dongbei]

Anki listening cards using the Hypertts add-on with Azure TTS, and subs2srs-ing native shows is the best. You get a proper SRS algorithm as well.

[@kuntrasha]

This is golden. Great work Stu!

I have ZERO IT knowledge. What I REALLY want to know how todo is: Pick a bunch of sources in the language. Books, articles, subtitles from movies, etc. A LOT of stuff to make what happens next work. Run something that ranks the words in the target language by frequency order. Have the word above and the first sentence in the materials you fed into it bellow. Translate both into English. Have an audio file (if it's from move subs take from the move file, if not, generate one like in this video) for both the target language and English, also as shown i the video. Generate both something like ANKI cards (spaced repetition) and something that can be played randomly as much as I want (in the background as I do other things, for instance) . About 30,000 (or as much as I want) of the most common words in all the books and stuff I have selected by frequency order. And that's it. I wouldn't need ANYTHING else to learn any language except watching and reading the exact same stuff I'm pulling all this from as I go along. My only work is to feed the books, movies, news article and whatever, tons of it. And then this "thing" will generate all that for me. Someone please make that happen.

[@JohnnyLynnLee]

PS: It would be cool that, in having both the PDF/Ebook version and the AUDOBOOK version of a book it cold pick the written sentence form the book and the audio from the audiobook as well. GEEZ! That would be heaven. Pick the words, rank by frequency, give me an example sentence and audio all at once. I just need to feed the thing.

[@markmark-dj8tk]

thank you very much !!

[@jinparksoul]

For the sentence ขอกอดหน่อย to my ear the synthesized กอด sounds more like a short กด and without any other context I'd probably think someone is asking me to press something. :(

[@kuntrasha]

Or anytime someone bumps you on BTS just give them a big hug lol

[@jinparksoul]

@@jjjjjjjjooolllllllllll8395 On my mac I tried "say -v Kanya 'ขอกดหน่อย'" GoogleTTS still thinks it hears ขอกอดหน่อย. So I had my native thai friend listen to "say -v Kanya 'ขอกดหน่อย'" and "say -v Kanya 'ขอกอดหน่อย'". She couldn't tell the difference when i had her listen without telling her what I expect her to hear.

[@jinparksoul]

@@jjjjjjjjooolllllllllll8395 But the point of my comment is what is in this video that is done with the mac synthesis from the command line and what you can expect from that. for me chatgpt voice is better than google translate if we are looking at external text to speech services.

[@cheaveasna6606]

I’m a Cambodian who support you channel. Thank you so much for sharing knowledge.

Just starting back again to learn Thai

[@elenaekanathapetrova2282]

I don't have a mac )

[@jackhusbands8462]

Stuart, please make some Indonesian content 🙏

[@StuartJayRaj]

sure...any topics in particular?

[@jackhusbands8462]

It may be too niche, but perhaps a video about the main differences between bahasa baku and Jakarta style bahasa Gaul, the dropping of affixes, replacing me- with Ny or -ke, -kan becoming -in etc Or perhaps a video to help understand the various affixes and how they affect the meaning of the root word.

[@Блогер-ш2п]

Stuart, we love you 🙏❤

[@hyperlinguist5284]

Is it just code in the bitbucket site? might be possible to compile it on a Linux pc and use it there if you made that possible.

[@StuartJayRaj]

I've made a linux version - but the free voices sound like crap. I'm making a much more robust one where you can choose from different engines - if mac, it'll allow you to run the 'say' program in mac like in this clip, otherwise, you can use AWS / Google API keys to access those voices ... but then if you use those voices, it's not free as you'll be charged by google and / or AWS.

[@StuartJayRaj]

This one was just a proof of concept that I could do the whole thing in Bash without having to jump into Python or other languges. The more robust tool will be in Python though.

[@hyperlinguist5284]

@@StuartJayRaj sounds good. I have python installed already. All the tools I currently use are free though, not sure if I'd want to pay for AWS. I'm only paying a tutor for lessons in my target language, which is 日本語.

[@StuartJayRaj]

Exactly - that's why I built this. For LInux and Microsoft, I'm yet to find a decent speech engine that's free.

[@James_zai_dongbei]

​@@StuartJayRajMicrosoft Azure voices are essentially free for vast majority of language learner use cases and they're of extremely high quality
