Thanks for joining and contributing to the discussions already!

That is true - although to host a Lemmy community I would have to fork over some money - which I don’t really mind all that much if the community grows to a decent size - but this is a low risk way to start out.

I honestly might think about changing over to Lemmy server in the future if I the community ever gets established. (I honestly don’t know too much about what hosting a Lemmy server entails, or what the possibilties for customization are, but I’ll have to look into it)

lol, yeah - its not lost on me that Lemmy is a forum, if that is what you are getting at. But I personally equate lemmy to reddit, and while there are subs for niche topics, the idea of a standalone forum for my specific purpose seems like it has more of an opportunity to create the “small, close knit” type of community that doesn’t seem to fit within the Lemmy sphere.

I could totally be wrong, and maybe its nostalgia, but something about a good old forum seems to bring something different to the table in my eyes.

(Weird - I sent a reply but now its not showing up.) I hadn’t heard of “clozemaster” but tried it out and it seems like a nice resource! The fact that it has the vocab in the context of sentences, while still only focusing on one word seems quite useful as to not learn the word in isolation.

And great, yeah as both being beginners we can stumble through it together if you like - feel free to pull request whenever you like, or however else you want to work on it. As for being a native Spanish speaker - that helps out a ton :) - I did forget to mention in the main post that I was wanting to focus on Mexican Spanish rather than Spanish from Spain, but I don’t think should matter too much because the actual vocab should be super easy to just swap in or out with new JSON data.

But yeah, if you decide to contribute (of course no pressure), I look forward to seeing some of what you come up with.
