African German Phrase Book

The idea for this special phrase book was developed during the workshop series "Going Kompyuta" at the Goethe-Institut Cameroon. The aim was to bring together modern information technology and the promotion of African languages.
 
The Android app currently offers 150 daily terms in 51 different languages. Up to three languages can be displayed simultaneously next to each other. The terms are clearly arranged in 13 categories. Simply clicking on a term starts the audio output. The repertoire of available languages can be extended at any time.

We thank you in foremost for your cooperation in the project.
