Re:Show HN: I built a language learning movie app on Thursday November 27, 2025 @07:52AM (#46068801)
I love the idea, but I'm a bit stuck on the implementation. I tried the website and clicked a movie. I had sentences from the movie (presumably) but didn't know how they related to the movie and couldn't see any video.

Is this an alpha version? Are there more features planned?

I think this is a wonderful idea. I have spent some time in the past teaching TOEFL and found that children enjoyed games more than anything else. Gamification of learning seems to me to be the way forward.

Using a well-known game such as UNO is a great idea for the reasons you state - not as much time wasted on explaining complicated instructions and children can help each other if needed.
