Word Buddies
|
||||
================
|
||||
|
||||
Here is a **real story**:
|
||||
|
||||
> **Cihan** and **Aylin** are living together in beautiful Berkeley.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> Cihan works at a high-tech company in San Francisco;
|
||||
>
|
||||
> while Aylin goes to school at UC Berkeley for her Phd. degree in Law.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> Often times she comes across interesting English words at school which she wants to practice and learn.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> Since some of the words and terminology are used in both of their subjects, this would benefit them both.
|
||||
|
||||
There was one little problem, though:
|
||||
|
||||
> There wasn't an easy way of sharing words with each other throughout the day,
|
||||
>
|
||||
> other than sending whatsapp message or emails. Both of which, suck.
|
||||
|
||||
Here, at **WordBuddies ™**, we will…
|
||||
|
||||
* present lists of words in an intuitively **accessible** way;
|
||||
* With **fun**;
|
||||
* and with **competition**.
|
||||
|
||||
**WordBuddies ™** is (*or, let us say, "will be"*) an addictive platform for all word-lovers.
|
||||
|
||||
> You will learn vocabulary using the **BuddyEffect ™** and **gamification**, without even realizing that you do!
|
||||
|
||||
…
|
||||
|
||||
**ahem** \'nuf hints already, wait for the hackathon demo **;)**.
