Alphaliterate
Learning a new writing system used to be hard. Soon it won't be.
What is it?
A system for learning foreign alphabets quickly and painlessly. Learn to read a new writing system in a single day by reading exciting stories.
How it works
Learning a new language is challenging enough on its own. But learning a new language that is written in a foreign alphabet makes things even more difficult. Your brain is dealing with two novel kinds of information at once: a language and an alphabet. That overloads your brain, which isn't built for multitasking. If you have ever tried and given up on learning Japanese or Russian or Arabic, this is probably one reason.
Alphaliterate solves this by separating the alphabet learning from the language learning. It allows you to learn a new alphabet by reading English language stories written in another alphabet. That way your brain can spend all its processing power on the alphabet since it doesn't have to worry about foreign grammar or vocabulary.
Business applications
The principles I used to create Alphaliterate can be applied to your technology or business projects:
Improve employee training by breaking up skills into micro-skills, making it easier and less intimidating to learn.
Don't waste resources on cliched gamefication approaches. Identify the intersection of natural user motivations and your business goals and create custom solutions.
Solve problems using innovative repurposing of existing technologies.
Coming soon
Alphaliterate will be launching in July, 2026.
