Human Language Learning apps
Ideally offline and either Android or Linux. Just looking to see what's out there and I didn't see much yet besides some dictionary or DIY flashcard apps
Thanks!

No need to DIY, Anki has tons of flash cards packs to download for free for any language.
Anki + downloading ready made vocab packs is a nice tool in the toolbox. Wont teach you a language on its own but good for increasing your vocab.
-
+1 for anki. I struggled for years to find anything decent for Swahili and there is more content for Swahili than I got out of Duolingo. One thing I didn't know about anki until i tried it because I didn't see anyone mention it, the flashcards can include pictures/videos/audio.

Of course, open source communities are awesome and provide! Thanks for the tip, will check the prefilled flashcards out

Anki for vocab
Textbook for grammar
Immersion for everything elseAlso input and output are two different skills.
-
One option is to ask open source language models to make lessons/quizzes/etc for you
-
Do you find local models fast enough or accurate enough? I find their grammar to be inaccurate too frequently
-
tbh I haven't played around w them much so idk

Not offline but self-hosting available , there's LinguaCafe it's like book reading web app with tons of niceties. I am yet to try it for myself.
-
Thanks for the tip! I wonder if it could self hosted locally on a LAN?
-
Yes. I believe all self-hosting apps are like that. As an example, I have a docker container running Searxng and I use it locally on my PC as default search engine. Just keep in mind that docker compose port mapping (e.g. "3000:80") attaches to all available IPs unless you specify it like "127.0.0.1:3000:80".
