In plain words

Eskéndereyya is a learning tool that teaches users how to read and write Arabic using Latin characters instead of traditional Arabic script. Launched in 2016, it's designed for people interested in learning Arabic who may find Latin-based transliteration more accessible as a starting point. The project is hosted on GitHub as an open-source resource, making it freely available to anyone seeking an alternative approach to Arabic language fundamentals.

  • Text editor with inline English-German dictionary2022 · github.com · ▲35

    Hi When you are learning a new language, you need to practice different skills: reading, listening, speaking, writing. I find writing to be the hardest activity, not least because I have to look up words in the dictionary all the time, and that is a frustrating context switch. Here is an experimental CodeMirror-based editor, that lets you look up translations inline. Type @ followed by the English word, and get a list of possible translations, and select the translation to apply it. Online demo: https://foreign-dispatch-autocomplete.netlify.app/
