Hi all! 💜
Have you ever wondered how much harder learning to code is for people who DON’T speak English? All programming terminology is universally in English. We take `head`, `const`, `background-color`, `return` and `private` for granted when learning how to code, allowing us to program more intuitively. But what about kids, students and beginners who also have to overcome the English language barrier?
Introducing Codelingo (beta*), the free (web) app that helps non-English speakers start their coding journey by demystifying programming terminology into their native language. Users can learn through cheat sheets, flashcards, and interactive quizzes. ✨
Codelingo is on a mission to level the playing field between English and non-English speakers by making coding accessible for free to millions of people in the developing world. 🌍 If you’d like to support the mission (thank you 🥹), please share this with just one person you think could benefit from it.
* This release is a beta MVP, which means it will only be available in Thai, for HTML. Plans to expand to other languages (Spanish, Mandarin etc) and courses (CSS, JS, Python etc) are on the horizon (as are additional features to teach coding concepts once users overcome the language barrier), but will be heavily subject to feedback and the success of this version. (Why Thailand first? I’m half Thai 😊 so I’m able to create and verify the content myself. Spanish and Mandarin next because I also speak them (fluently and incredibly rusty respectively). If you have expertise on what would be a better market to target, I’m all ears!!!! 🫶🏼)
Thank you so much for checking this out. All feedback, thoughts and comments welcome!
