I was part of the team of three that created this app for the BYU-Idaho Chinese Department as well for the final project in our Software Development class. Our main goal was to create an app that would be easy to use and intuitive for those students who were trying to learn chinese. The main features we wanted were the ability to log into the app, lessons with playable audio clips, a way to set notifications, the ability to create quizzes, and an easy to use menu.

The great thing about this app is that it can be easily adapted for learning other languages. The lessons we currently have in the app were taken from PDFs given to us by the chinese department so you could substitute any other PDFs in the app to change the curriculum. If you swipe left in most of the lessons, it will also come up with the ability to play audio clips associated with that lesson. The quiz that is currently in the app just has some simple math questions and is mainly to show that it would be possible to add quiz questions for the different lessons later on.

This app was the winner of the BYU-Idaho Business Department's Fall 2018 Innovator's Challenge. The judges really liked that the app was different than most language learning apps in that it had lessons and content that could be customized by the teachers themselves.

If you know your way around android app file systems then here is a link to all of the code used for this project.
