Altough I consider this as a good idea to work on, probably an initial
and easy-to-do step would be in first stage to ask/help developers to
i18n their applications, in second stage ask people to provide/help on
translations to esperanto.

Most of the applications doesn't know about i18n yet, and it would be
a good idea to have them i18n'ed first. I was trying to talk with
upstreams for work on such issues, some of them have made progress on
their new releases.

Now for esperanto-specific learning apps, I don't know one, probably
could be added as another module to an existing one like latrine.

There's one called coccinella[0] which I plan to work on soon, it does
most of the tasks you say.
