I wanted to learn Ilokano but got tired of waiting for Duolingo, so I vibe-coded my own app (Dualecto). Need native speakers to roast my Tagalog-to-Ilokano course!

​Naimbag a rabii/aldaw!

​​Full disclosure: I'm not a linguist. I'm just a dev who wanted to learn Ilokano the easiest way possible, couldn't find a good tool, and ended up vibe-coding an app called Dulecto to bridge the gap from Tagalog.

​To be honest, I deliberately vibe-coded the app because I wanted to spend my energy actually learning the language, not getting bogged down in endless app development.

​To make sure the lessons actually make sense and cover the foundations properly, I used AI research to map out the core language structures. The goal was to build a structured, interactive course that feels rewarding to progress through, rather than just forcing people to flip through an ordinary, boring dictionary app.

​Because it's AI-assisted data, I really need native speakers to check my work. Please be brutal—tell me where the translations sound weird, robotic, or out of context so I can fix them.

(Android users only for now.)

​P.S. If you are also here trying to learn Ilokano, I’d love your feedback on how the progression feels and how this could be more helpful for you!

Ilocano shows or Youtube channels

I’m interested in learning Ilocano but it’s difficult to find Youtube channels or shows where they speak the language. Does anybody have recommendations?
