Moving Language

Mobile Virtual Learning for Languages Moving Languages want to deliver a mobile app for language learning which will help refugees / immigrants to learn the local language and become familiar with the new concepts in their new countries.

The apps will be a gamified language learning solution delivered in both IOS and Android. It will specifically target the immigrants in European countries and will be available for free download on the app market. The applications will be available in 6 target language versions (English, Spanish, Italian, German, Swedish and Finnish) and will have at least 3 support languages each – the languages most widely spoken by the immigrants in each of the partner countries. 

The language content of the mobile applications will cover the topics that are essential during the first steps of living in the new country and contain 2000-2500 vocabulary items illustrated with images for easy concept recognition. The vocabulary in this application will also contain selected country-specific concepts not present in other partner countries. Relevant phrases and dialogues will also be made available within these applications.
