kiyânaw Mentor
kiyânaw Mentor is a platform for building community-driven language bundles. Like MAP (Mentor-Apprentice Program) but available to any learner, a Mentor with a phone can answer any Learner question and contribute to the community language pool for any region or dialect.
Phrase oriented
The kiyânaw App seeks to fill that 'intermediate gap' by allowing for the collection of phrases with audio. Phrase-based learning, especially self-directed, allows learners to incorporate useful language into their day-to-day, slowly building up towards fluency.
Learner driven
Learners can ask questions from Mentors and Language Keepers, answers to which contribute to the overall pool of phrases. Learner questions initially go into a private pool, only available to Mentors. Reponses (with audio) that become public contribute to the overall language bundle for future learners.
Your custom playlist
At the heart of the kiyânaw Mentor app is your playlist. Add audio from responses that have been contributed to the app to your playlist, and rotate in new phrases to fit your learning curve. Missing a phrase? Submit a new question for the specific sentence you are looking for.
Searchable
Learners can request answers from Language Keepers, contributing to the overall pool of phrases. Learner questions initially go into a question pool, hidden from the general list of responses, and can be elevated into the public pool of responses if they do not exist. Questions that have already been answered will be linked to existing answers to reduce duplication.
Multi-language, multi-dialect
The kiyânaw Platform is designed to support any language or dialect. Received funding for a new app? Download the list of published phrases from a nearby dialect or language and spend 100% of your funding on recording audio from fluent speakers for your region or community.
