Python for Learning English
A Command Line Interface Program to Learn English
Hi folks! It has been a while since I last posted. Nowadays, I am developing more than one project simultaneously. Therefore, I couldn’t write a new text about tech stuff. However, I have developed a side project to boost my English learning. Actually, I am writing this text for my English class :P In this text, I am going to write about how I used my programming skills to improve my language learning.
Command Line Interface for English Learning
Actually, there is a cliche which is if you want to improve your coding skills, you need to find a real-life problem to solve by coding. To do that, I have chosen translation as my real-life problem. When I read or study with my laptop, It is a bit difficult to learn the new words that I saw on the pages. To handle that, I developed a CLI program.
Actually, it firstly was just for English to Turkish translation. However, then I enhanced its capability. And now it can also show the searched word’s synonyms and sentences that are created with the searched word.
>>> python -m tureng_cli translate -w Kasırga -n 10
