Or perhaps a self-hosteable webapp i could add the words myself from curated sources on the internet to then do quizzes on it?
Not self-hosted but Language Transfer is pretty awesome.

25 or so years ago, I learnt Esperanto (my first second language) by chatting on the Internet. I’d have two windows open - one with the IRC client, and the other with a terminal and a shell script that would grep a txt file with consistent formatting. “esp esperantoVerbPrefix/” or “esp noun,” or “esp affix-” would typically return the correct result in a split second. Thanks to the simple grammar (that I had quickly memorized), I could hold conversations in near real time as a result.
I wish I could have learnt my other languages as easily.

Mi estas lerni espéranto kun duolingo ekde unu kaj duono kaj me ne estas tre bona .
Inspired by xkcd’s thing explainer I generated a list of how often words appeared in subtitles on opensubtitles for my target language.
I whipped those into a database, added manual translation for the top-1000 and started quizzing myself with a tiny php script.
It was more fun to code than to actually quiz myself. I think I played the top-100 before I got bored.
Maybe something like this?
Anki ?
Anki is amazing, but it’s not self hosted without some effort.
https://github.com/LuckyTurtleDev/docker-images/tree/main/dockerfiles/anki
start with env var sync_user1=username:password or something like that
change server url in anki desktop or ankidroid to what you started in docker
done
That seems pretty straightforward if you have experience with that stuff, I don’t have that experience.
