Studying Italian? I can help...
I am in love with languages. I speak five in total, and I am learning at least two more. I have tried many different ways to learn quickly—TV, radio, reading, apps, books, and courses. All this is good, but my problem is that I always have little time for it. However, I spend quite a lot of time at my MacBook... and this is when this idea was born.

One day, while reading a book at my desk, I thought about how cool it would be to have a small app that would show me words in English and ask me to retype them in the language I learn. This is when I decided to challenge my skills and a couple of AI tools. After about five days of development, my first "baby" was born: the Italian Flashcards Chrome extension. I felt so good working on my own vocabulary that I decided to share the idea with friends who are also studying languages at home.
However, I realized that without publishing it on the Chrome Web Store, it would be impossible to share with others unless they were also developers. So, my next step was to move the extension from my MacBook to the Google Web Store. A couple of days later, I was finally there! Once I started, hundreds of new ideas flooded my mind, so I kept developing the tool every single day, pushing the version from 1.0 to 2.3 (13 upgrades in 10 days!).
I would now like to officially share my tool with you. If you use Chrome and are studying Italian, this extension will bring some fun into your lunch breaks or those times when you have a spare five minutes between tasks. I am working on other languages at the moment as well; a similar app was developed for Ukrainian refugees learning Lithuanian, and the next step is Spanish!
Feel free to download and use it here: Italian Flashcards Pro
