What it does

It focuses on bringing language learners from intermediate level to advanced level.

• Use real-world video content with corresponding subtitles to train listening skills in any language or dialect.
• Leverage YouTube to access "infinite" video content, to generate a rich learning program that can also teach specific dialects, such as Spanish from Guatemala!
• Game to make learning addictive.
• Use contextual word embeddings to select questions that will best improve the user's weaknesses.

How we built it

React with Typescript in the front end. Backend implemented in Flask and using state of the art multilingual language models for technical scalability.

Challenges we ran into

Connecting the API, and debugging common bugs.
