I’ve studied over 50 languages - some a little, some a lot
I believe in human unity & coffee ☕️

From the main page select “alphabet”
Then “each consonant”
Then you can select any of the consonants and get more info and an audio clip.

Using this app to learn the Khmer (Cambodian) alphabet. (Technically, an abugida).
I’m not saying this app is great. I don’t see any that are great, but it is useful. Combined with a couple videos and some online info, it’s doing the job
Don’t know if it’s available on Android

Just for fun. A tiny Indonesia dictionary. I think this was $1 US.
Definitions are one or two words. So, yeah. Not the most comprehensive tool. But it was impossible to resist.

I picked up a book for $6 at a regional bookstore several years ago. It’s a collection of articles by Buddhist scholars.
It includes the first 4 chapters of a the śrīsamvarodayatantrarājah - from a Sanskrit manuscript preserved by a Nepali vajrayana practitioner.

I have been chatting with ChatGPT about its support in various languages. I put its capabilities into 3 categories of support: very well, well, and attempt.
I asked it to give a complete listing of languages in its training model for these 3 categories.
I thought I should pass it on.

You can just ask for minimal pairing sentence variation in Japanese.
I just generated the pics below.
You can ask it to give the English equivalents. You can choose how many sentences. Best of all you can tailor the vocabulary, focus on certain kanji, grammar points etc

Ukrainian-English dictionary from a local library.
Obviously won’t make fluency, but it’s a tool. Good for practicing Cyrillic & picking up some vocabulary.
And hey…it’s free.
