welcome back

After a long time leaving this blog all by itself I decided to come back and use it as a new inspiration tool which I will add anything I found interesting and inspiring..

What happened during the time?

Well I finalized my thesis and graduated..

I made a detailed research on non-native english speakers and english as a second language learners.. What type of problems they face when learning and pronouncing the language. English is a phonetic language and one can not read the words simply as they are spelled. As a non-native English speaker, I have experienced difficulty pronouncing the English language. Therefore I have decided to create a visual and graphical solution so English learners can more easily memorize the correct pronunciation of words.

How do we physically and biologically accomplish speaking, hearing, reading and therefore learning a new language? I designed a book that collects all of this research. As the visual project of my thesis topic I researched the existing dictionaries in the market and designed an electronic dictionary prototype that has various new functions to help learning english and it's correct pronunciation.
