About the Project
Welcome to "Sounds English to Me" - an innovative educational project developed collaboratively by primary school students in Greece, their English teacher, and AI assistance.
This application helps students practice minimal pairs in English pronunciation, focusing on sounds that are often difficult for non-native speakers to distinguish.
The project demonstrates how agentic software development can be integrated into education, allowing students to participate in the creation process and learn about technology while improving their language skills.
