Really like the idea. As someone who has been losing his limited spanish since college, I've been wanting something like this.

A couple pieces of feedback:

- It would be very useful to be able to get text translations of just one word at a time. Currently, I can give up entirely and have the whole message translated for me. But there's no way to just get help with the one word I can't remember the meaning of

- It would be very useful to be able to hide the text by default. I am interested in this app only because I am pretty bad at listening to spanish. That said, I am quite a bit better at reading it. Having the text always appear ruins my ability to practice listening

- The language selector at the top has 5 vertical bars that can be dark or not. I believe this might be a difficulty indicator? But it's not very clear

- When I speak some words are yellow. I assume this means my pronunciation was off leading the AI to not be very confident. That could also be a lot more clear

edit: fix formatting
