Looks like a cool way to pick up a language. Zuck doing that that fire-side chat in Chinese has made people more interested in learning the language. Listen to the audio as you follow along in the text. Hover over each word to bring up the definition and pronunciation

Great concept. I look forward to trying this. I wish you could tap on a word and not just get the definition and pronunciation but also have the word spoken again.
Looks like it's based on the L-R method with parallel text. Right now, people interested in L-R have to manually make parallel texts and then hunt down a corresponding audio book. It's a big hassle, especially making sure the audio book and the original language text correspond. Which is a pity, because the L-R method works really well. I wish Chicory had other languages as well. I'd happily pay to avoid making parallel texts.
