We won Alexa in a hackathon raffle several months ago and never used her until just last week. When we finally got her working, we fell deeply in love with what she's able to do. Now, we want to take Alexa one step further: speaking in languages besides English and German. What's more, Alexa would be able to use her new found linguistic abilities to teach us new languages! We call this new skill: Badlingo.

​

Badlingo is a skill which anyone can install on their Alexa. The conversation begins when you tell Alexa to launch Badlingo, and specify a language to learn (currently French, German, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Polish and English). Alexa will then ask for a word to translate, and you will have to repeat the word until Alexa is happy with your pronunciation. When she is, you may tell Alexa a new word or a new language to learn.
