Summary
LelaAI is a language learning platform that takes a different approach from traditional apps like Duolingo. Instead of gamified lessons and streaks, it focuses on learning languages by reading real articles from top news sources or any webpage. The platform provides inline translations for every word, allows users to tap words they know to build vocabulary, and generates flashcards from encountered words. The creator built it after finding that 400+ days of Duolingo streaks didn't enable them to read actual news articles.

· 4 pulledI built Lela because Duolingo didn't work for me. 400+ days of streaks and I still couldn't read a news article.
Lela takes a different approach: learn by reading real content.
Every word shows its translation inline — just read naturally.
No streaks. No cartoon owls. Just reading — the way languages were always meant to be learned.
