I’ve stopped posting on Instagram for the past two months because gaining 7000 followers resulted in one conversion which made me feel kinda sad so I just started coding some more instead.

In that two months, my following has grown to nearly 10,000 which is cool. It means my content is at least enjoyable.

There’s a good reason why investors avoid education technology - it’s a special place in hell.

I’ve updated my language learning app to be more accessible to people globally. You can now use the app in the following languages:

- Arabic Egyptian
- Spanish
- Mandarin Chinese
- French
- Hindi
- Portuguese
- English
- Italian
- Japanese

If you would like me to add a language for you or your family/friends, feel welcome to request it & I’ll be happy to implement it.

I have been meaning to make my language learning app more global, since English has the highest global demand,

But it took some time to figure out how to rewire my app since I originally only planned to keep the scope small for English & Spanish speakers (99% of my audience in social media).

I recently saw a girl from Egypt sharing my app and it reminded me why I even cared about education technology in the first place - to be able to connect and help people around the world the way the internet was originally intended.

It took some time because AI was not good enough to handle the task and I have a bottleneck of a $20 subscription, but I now have the infrastructure to increase the reach of my app.

As a thank you for this feedback, I’ve made Italian the language to map out how future support languages can be added.

Currently working on expanding my language learning app to have multi-language app support that isn't limited to just Spanish and English speaking users.

This way, someone who is Italian can learn Dutch, or someone Egyptian can learn Japanese.

However, I can only afford a $20 Codex subscription so my credits are the bottleneck for this development and it may take weeks </3

This is probably stupid but I feel like the most underrated feature on my language learning app to learn Spanish is that you can customize the personality of the voice assistant you speak to in the realtime conversation feature
