# ArabEngo
Learn Arabic for English Speakers with ArabEngo!
We all learned our first language through social interaction and communication. Sites like [Verbling](https://www.verbling.com/community) and [Speaky](https://www.speaky.com/) are great sites that take advantage of using this technique and we highly recommend them!
However what if you don't want to have a conversation with a real person? What if you just want to text message a robot and learn the language that way? That's why I created ArabEngo!
Did you know?
-------------
ArabEngo was the very first open source language learning application designed for English Speakers to learn Arabic.

Tech
-------------
ArabEngo uses a number of open source projects to work properly:
* [Poly UI Kit](https://github.com/Guilh/Poly) - Used for lessons & alphabet's user interface
* [Material Design Lite](https://getmdl.io/) - Used to make the lesson designer
* [Uikit](https://getuikit.com) - Used briefly throughout the website, skills and chat section
* [jQuery](http://jquery.com/) - duh
* [ResponsiveVoice.JS](https://responsivevoice.org/) - Used to convert text to speech. Also main reason why this application is under the [Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0](https://github.com/michaelsboost/ArabEngo/blob/gh-pages/LICENSE.md) license and not the [MIT](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT) license.
* [Github Gists](https://developer.github.com/v3/gists/) - A reliable host used to save your lessons & chats to the cloud
* [Twitter Web API](https://dev.twitter.com/web/embedded-timelines) - Allows users to share their lessons and chats to the community but also makes it easier interact with ArabEngo developers.

Development
-------------
As of Mar 21, 2018 Github updated their API on Gists. In which you can [no longer save gists anonymously](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-gists).
If you try to save a gist anonymously you will be presented with a 404.
ArabEngo relied on Github Gists to save your chats and lessons anonymously to the community. Do to this update ArabEngo is officially a discontinued project as of April 2, 2018.
ArabEngo is free and open source, so you can always fork the project and have fun :)
