Hey Product Hunt, I’m Ara 👋. Really excited to share the first version of Fluent with you! The biggest problem with learning a new language is finding the time to fit practice into your busy life. Even if you get started it's hard to keep that same motivation to practice day after day, for months. Fluent helps by removing the friction to practice; you install Fluent and instantly you're learning new vocabulary right inside your browser. No apps, no notifications, no setting time aside to study. Today we're ready to put Fluent into the hands of all of you but to continue getting better, we need your feedback. If you're learning French and you've tried Fluent, please let us know what you think. You can send us a message through our in-app chat, DM @usefluent on Twitter, or email me at ara@usefluent.co We have a lot more planned and we're going to be working really hard every day to make Fluent better for all of you 🎉 P.S If you're learning a different language than French, you can upvote new languages here to stay updated: https://feedback.usefluent.co/la...

@usefluent @eva_boychenko Welcome to Team Fluent :)

I've been on the beta for a month or so now, really interesting to see how many words you can pick up over time. Similar idea to Toucan, wouldn't be surprised if this is the new way people pick up languages or keep up the languages they learned in school but have since started to drift (that and watching subtitled Netflix) :) Congratulations on the launch Ara & team!
Ara Ghougassian
@nickabouzeid Thank you so much for the support and for the hunt Nick! We definitely think this will become the new default way to learn/practice a new language :)

@nickabouzeid what's impressed me the most about the Fluent team is there ability to ship new features a lot faster than Toucan. The future of this product may look a lot different. So far am loving it as a user.
Ana Sanchis
Super useful and easy to use. The best thing is that you learn another language without almost even notice it. 😊 Waiting excited for having more language options
Ara Ghougassian
@anasanchis So happy to hear that Ana! Best way to get updates on new languages would be to leave your email here: feedback.usefluent.co/languages

We HAVE to support creative and powerful ideas like Fluent. Our lives are busy, but learning doesn't have to be this time-intensive process. We can learn in the background. I love the product (use it myself) and the team is absolutely incredible. (Also, their tweets are hilarious)
Ara Ghougassian
@cullinmcgrath Learning doesn't have to be formal, should be fun & natural :) Appreciate the support Cullin!!
Hunter McKinley
This is absolutely incredible

@huntermoonshot Thank you Hunter!

I've been using Fluent for a couple of months and I love how it makes it super easy to learn a new language! It has some great features like 'Pause' and 'Testing me mode' which are really useful. I love that Fluent keeps getting better with new features and improvements, so it's always got a great user experience.
Ara Ghougassian
@chrstinnaa Christina! Super grateful for your support, you've been using us since we first launched the beta and have gone through so many bugs and fixes while we've worked things out haha. We appreciate you greatly - you're the reason we work so hard :)
Stephanie Tarazi
I’ve been using Fluent consistently over the past month, and am so impressed at how helpful it’s been with reminding me of the French I learned back in high school. It’s given my vocab list a much needed refresher without taking any extra time in my day. Definitely a game changer for language learning.
Ara Ghougassian
@stephanie_tarazi Thanks for the support Stephanie, I'm really happy you've found us helpful so far! Do let me know if you think we can improve on anything :)
Nastya Mikeyeva
@ara_ghougassian1 It is wonderful to learn new word in this way!
Ara Ghougassian
@mikeyeva Love to hear it :)

Congrats Ara on the launch! Fantastic product. Been using it for nearly a month and it’s really fun picking up and trying out new languages and showing off to your friends. It’s unbelievable how subconsciously you start picking a language up without any effort. Definitely a product with great future! Ara and team have worked really hard to bring us a clean and easy to use product that requires minimal effort and blends nicely into your day to day work.
Ara Ghougassian
@karthik_k1 Karthik I'm really pumped to have you on team Fluent! Thank you so much for the kind words man, If you ever have any feedback on how we can improve Fluent for you, please let me know 🙏
Monisha Shcherbakova
As someone who just recently moved to Montreal, brushing up on my existing French knowledge is something of high importance to me, and Fluent makes it so much easier. Unlike other conventional language learning apps on the market, Fluent doesn't take any extra time out of your day, but instead integrates language learning into your regular web browsing time! So there's really no excuse not to download Fluent today and get on the habit of learning a new language, while browsing your favorite websites :) Highly recommend!

@monisha_shcherbakova Thanks Monisha! You the real MVP
Eashan Reddy Kotha
I love using Fluent. Super frictionless way to pick up vocabulary. It’s helped me greatly because I’ve been brushing up on my French. Excited to see more new features roll out. The team ships fast and they’re always willing to listen to feedback to make the user experience better. What more can I say besides congrats on the launch and keep it up! 🤝🔥
Yaniv Silberman
@eashankotha Thanks a lot Eashan! You're a Fluent OG
Stefan Palios
I've been using the Beta since May, and it's been great. I've already picked up new French vocab and I'm really liking the features around testing comprehension without being invasive on the screen. Highly recommend for anyone looking to immerse themselves in French in a passive, casual way.
Ara Ghougassian
@stefanpalios Thanks for the kind words Stefan, really happy it's been useful to you so far! If there's anything we can do to make the experience better for you please let me know :)
James Harr
Isn't this the same thing as Toucan?
Ara Ghougassian
@jamesharr Similar idea, different in execution! We've decided to start with one language and go deep. Our hyper-focus lets us offer things that are really useful to our users. For example, we're translating the accurate gender of vocabulary and helping our English users understand the masculine and feminine versions of words (something English speakers often struggle with). If you're learning French I'd love for you to give us a go :)
Nathan Moorman
@jamesharr @ara_ghougassian1 From what I can tell from your code, it looks like you've actually stolen some of toucan's code from their earlier versions. That's messed up and definitely not a "different execution".
Yaniv Silberman
@nathan_charles Hi Nathan, I'm curious how you got access to our code? And how you got access to Toucan's as well? I've also noticed that your account has no follows, upvotes, comments... almost as if it was made today...
berrysauce
Really nice idea - Like it 👍
Ara Ghougassian
@theberrysauce Thank you! 😃
LocaModa
I love this idea. I've been wanting to find the extra time to study and learn another language. This sounds like I can start building a vocabulary while going about the normal tasks of my day. I look forward to giving it a try.
Ara Ghougassian
@locamoda Exactly it, I can't wait to have you try us out, please let me know what you think and how we can make it better :)
Ankit Masand
Great app! Very clean interactions!
