I guess this question fits well enough this thread:
I’ve always wanted to learn Spanish, and have tried lots of apps and various techniques and can listen ok, read well, and barely speak. I have an 18 month son, and a Hispanic nanny who basically pure Spanish to him.
Something I’ve been doing lately, is translating each phrase I say to him on my phone (“Do you need help with your legos?” Kind of thing) and storing the translations in a spreadsheet.
Surprisingly, there’s no app that I can find where you can link a spreadsheet to it and then generate Spaced Repetition Flash Cards from the rows in it. I know there’s a ton of apps where I can make cards straight in the app, but I was surprised there’s nothing that can work straight off of a Google Sheet.
So I’ve started tinkering with React Native just to learn something new and potentially hack together something for this.
So, my question: Is anyone else interested in the idea of having an app where they can load up a spreadsheet and turn it into smart flash cards really easily?
