An interactive language learning app for Dari and Pashto with cultural context, pronunciation guides, and gamified lessons.
Build an accessible, culturally rich language learning app that helps the Afghan diaspora and language enthusiasts learn Dari and Pashto through immersive, bite-sized lessons rooted in real-world conversation.
Dari and Pashto are severely underserved on major language platforms like Duolingo. Existing resources lack cultural context, proper pronunciation guidance, and engaging UX. The Afghan diaspora struggles to pass their native languages to the next generation.
We designed a lesson system built around real Afghan cultural scenarios — greetings, family, food, bazaar haggling, and more. Native speaker audio for every phrase ensures accurate pronunciation. Gamified progress with streaks and XP keeps learners motivated. Script practice modules teach both Dari and Pashto writing systems.
Our structured approach ensures every pixel serves a purpose and every interaction feels natural.
User interviews, competitive analysis, and market research to understand the landscape.
Low-fidelity wireframes to map user flows and validate information architecture.
High-fidelity UI design with a polished design system and component library.
Pixel-perfect implementation with modern frameworks and rigorous testing.
Afghan Lingo fills a critical gap in language education by making Dari and Pashto accessible to a global audience. The cultural-first approach resonates deeply with diaspora families looking to preserve their heritage.
