Overview
As an avid language learner, I’ve always appreciated the innovative approaches that platforms like Duolingo take. Recently, I took on the challenge of recreating one of their engaging exercises, the “Click On Words” UI. The goal was to replicate not just the aesthetic but the functionality of the original, and I utilized plain HTML5, CSS3, and Vanilla JavaScript to bring this educational project to life.
This exercise allows users to translate an English sentence into Spanish by clicking on correctly ordered words. It offers an intriguing way to reinforce vocabulary and sentence structure, while also providing the thrill of a challenge. With features that enhance user interaction, this project aims to mirror the enjoyable learning experience that Duolingo is known for.
