English Word Learning Tool

Inspiration

For English learners, it is difficult to learn English vocabulary. In my case, it is very effective to learn words with the use case of the words. I used to make several English vocabulary quizzes with example sentences, but the making process is very tedious and time-consuming. I wish that I had the tool to make English vocabulary quizzes easily, but I could not find the app which I want to have. Therefore, I decided to make the app by myself. This project is also my capstone project at my university.

What it does

Fetch English meaning and example sentence. I used an unofficial Google Dictionary API and scrape WORDINASENTECE.com

How I built it

The frontend is made by React.js. The complete app should be on MERN stack.

Challenges I ran into

I have never built any web apps by React.js, so everything is challenging for me.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I finished making the fetch function and displayed the word meanings.

What I learned

How to use React.js

What's next for English Word Learning Tool

Complete application this late April. Store data on MongoDB and generate quizzes from the stored data.
