I've been working on a little side project that combines Duolingo-like listening comprehension exercises with real content .

Every video is transcribed to get much better transcripts than the closed captions. I filter on high quality transcripts, and afterwards a LLM selects only plausible segments for the exercises. This seems to work well for quality control and seems to be reliable enough for these short exercises.

Would love your thoughts!

This is great - I've actually started building something similar myself a few months ago.

Requests:

- Split Spanish between Spain and Latin America

- Add difficulty levels (consider speaking speed and vocabulary used)

- Ability to select which topics I want the videos to be about (e.g. science, celebrity gossip, AI)

+1 to splitting Spanish. Even better is picking a Spanish speaking country and listening to news from that specific country.
