DESCRIPTION
Use UptoPlay to play online the game 10,000 sentences.
10,000 sentences is an app that will help you learn new words in your target languages.
You will be presented with a series of sentences where you need to guess the order of words. If your guess is correct, the app will find a new (and slightly more complex) sentence.
The application currently has 24 languages (see below for the list). Each language is available in two "directions". For example "French for English speakers" and "English for French speakers". More languages will be added in future.
If you want to check the translations for words, make sure you have Google Translate installed.
The application uses "text-to-speach" (TTS), but not all languages are available on all Android phones. Some languages have also commercial TTS engines available on Google Play.
As you progress with new sentences, you can create "annotations" on words you don't know. Annotations can be anything, but the best usage is to use them to create your own dictionary. More than one word can have the same annotation (so, for example, one verb in different tenses will have one translation/annotation).
The application is free and open source. All the sentences are taken from the Tatoeba dataset (licensed under CC-BY 2.0).

Comments:
The basic style is okay (and likely pretty good for rank beginners), but don't trust the pronunciation at ALL! It's just using text-to-speech from your phone, and holy cow did that screw up Esperanto (and if it screws up Esperanto, which has clear and consistent rules, I can't trust it for Estonian or Albanian, etc.). If you use this for anything but the top handful of languages (which I assume TTS can better mimic), mute it! (If it got decent recorded speech, I'd rate it 4-5 stars.)
The app was OK but the font of the choices seems to need calibration. Also, the "read the sentence" function wasnt working.
Great little app but some of the sentences and phrases are completely nonsensical and frankly ridiculous. They also mix very easy phrases with difficult ones instead of a gradual progression from novice to advanced.
`Disappointing. This is supposed to be for people who are learning. Yet, for words you've never learned or even seen before...ONE mistake is unacceptable. "Too many mistakes". This is not a good way to teach people. Learners cannot guess every single word in another language on the first attempt. We'd all be multilingual if that were the case.`,It's a good idea, but the real process of entering words feels depressingly slow. I would prefer choosing words from a single set for each sentence rather than one word from a different set. Also, the audio, both for individual words or for the entire sentence sounds too slow."
