The flashcard function idea is not essential, given the availability of superior free, open-source, multi-platform flashcard programs like Anki. But it might be a good tool for engaging folks.
There are Swadesh lists for many languages, which should be supplemented by more contemporary words and phrases.
It seems interesting and possibly grant-worthy. But finding the talent to persevere is non-trivial.

An idea buried in the text: Would it be possible to develop a kind of "flashcard" function based on "random page by language" where entry headwords for the chosen language would be generated without the definition(s)?
