Inspiration
We wanted to create an engaging and accessible tool for people looking to improve their English skills, especially in regions where quality language education is limited. Our goal was to make learning English fun, interactive, and available anytime—online or offline.
What it does
The English Learning App helps users improve their vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and conversational skills through: Daily lessons and quizzes Flashcards and word games AI-powered pronunciation feedback Listening practice with real-world dialogues Offline access with local progress storage Progress tracking and achievement system
How we built it
Frontend: React Native / React (for mobile/web support)
Backend: Firebase (auth, storage, real-time database)
AI Features: Integrated speech-to-text and TTS APIs for pronunciation practice
UI/UX: TailwindCSS / Styled Components with a modern, friendly interface
Offline Support: LocalStorage & IndexedDB for lesson caching and progress tracking
