Javu is a language learning app designed for busy people who want to learn faster. It adapts to your inputs and daily experiences, personalizing your learning for maximum efficiency.
Personalized content feels natural even after being generated by AI, and it is what Javu nailed it. repetitions with space work flawlessly, and i liked the overall offerings of it.
I'm terrible at learning languages. What's more, I don't have the time for it, or the motivation to set up a routine. It's embarrassing because I've lived in Portugal for 6 years and am still not fluent in Portuguese. I'm exposed to it all the time, but it blows through my head, like a gentle breeze, and out the other side! Javu, therefore, is designed to help capture and hold onto language, without making you work for it.
There are flashcard apps that help you memorise words, but they are boring—it feels like studying—and they are complicated to understand and set up. So you might turn to mainstream language apps, which are fun, but you learn sentences like "There's a shark in the pool"—not relevant to your life! (or anybody's actually.) Javu, on the other hand, is a gamified language app, but the content—words, sentences, images, etc—is your own. Quizzes are dynamic and interactive, but they are generated from words and context that youchoose. And if choosing the right words or creating context ever feels like work, Javu is deeply integrated with AI, to provide tailored suggestions at every step. Personally, I use a mix of AI-generated content and images or sentences from my own life, which make the quizzes really diverse and personal. And in this way, I'm slowly progressing with Portuguese 😅.
One advantage of flashcard apps, however, is the use of spaced-repetition. Javu uses this too, but it's done behind the scenes, so you get the benefits of it without thinking about it.
It's been 2+ years in the making but I feel that this is just the beginning; there are big plans and many more features in the pipeline!
Javu sounds like a super innovative approach to language learning! oes Javu also offer community features where users can practice with each other or get feedback on their learning progress?
@evgenii_zaitsev1 actually one of the testers suggested to have some kind of ‘multiplayer’ aspect like this, which I would LOVE to implement as I have a background in games industry. So not yet is the answer, regarding community features, but definitely a possibility. We do have the very basic ability to send words to each other (via link) but this was a quick afterthought. Thanks for your comment 🙏🙂

I would love to hear your feedback 🙂
Hey Dan, how many languages are supported? :)
@danpugsley Can't wait for more options :)
