# Tigrinya → English Learning App A simple mobile-friendly web app to teach English to Tigrinya speakers, using themed lessons that feed a spaced-repetition (SRS) review queue. ## Running it ``` npm install npm start ``` Then open localhost in a browser. Data is stored in a local SQLite file at `data/app.db`, created automatically on first run. ## How it works - **Lessons** (`public/lesson.html`) present vocabulary from one theme (e.g. Greetings, Numbers, Family) in three stages: learn each word, see it used in an example phrase, then quiz yourself (multiple-choice and typing). - Finishing a lesson enrolls its words into the **review queue**, scheduled with the SM-2 spaced-repetition algorithm (`server/srs.js`) — the same algorithm Anki uses. - **Review** (`public/review.html`) shows due cards; rating each one (Again / Hard / Good / Easy) reschedules its next appearance. - English words/examples can be played aloud using the browser's built-in text-to-speech (Web Speech API). Tigrinya audio isn't included — browser TTS support for Tigrinya is unreliable, so only the Ge'ez script and a transliteration are shown. ## Editing or adding vocabulary and UI text **Important:** the starter vocabulary in `server/seed-data.js`, and the bilingual UI text (buttons, headings, instructions) in `public/js/strings.js`, were both drafted by an AI assistant without verified Tigrinya fluency. Please review every row/entry for accuracy before relying on either, and correct or extend as needed. To edit vocabulary: 1. Open `server/seed-data.js`. 2. Edit the `lessons` array — each lesson has a title and a `words` list (`english`, `tigrinya`, `transliteration`, `example_en`, `example_ti`). 3. Delete `data/app.db` and restart the server (`npm start`) to reseed with your changes. (This resets all lesson/review progress — there's no migration path yet, since this is v1.) To add a new lesson, add another object to the `lessons` array with its own `title_en`, `title_ti`, ` …
