This simple SwiftUI project utilizes iOS 14's WidgetKit to display a simple, at-a-glance widget with a randomly selected {{Foreign Word}} <-> {{Native Word}} pair.

Learn a new language with a new word a day from a language you'd like to learn.

Current Languages include:

• Italian <-> English
• French <-> English
• Japanese <-> English

As well as some 'non-language' language sets:

• Morse Code <-> English
• National Flag <-> Country Name

...with wordlists extracted using a quick BeautifulSoup script from 1000mostcommonwords.com .

Add a language

Wordlists are embedded into the widget and can be added easily.

1. Add a unique enum for your newly Supported Language.
2. Create a new .swift file to /Lanaguages that conforms to the LanguageBase protocol.

Example {{language}}.swift

class {{language}} : LanguageBase {

    var words: [Word] = [
        Word(native: "war", foreign: "guerra"),
        Word(native: "thing", foreign: "cosa"),
        Word(native: "street", foreign: "strada")
        ...
        ...
    ]       
        
    func getAll() -> [Word] {
        return words
    }
    
    func getRandom() -> Word {
        let number = Int.random(in: 0..<words.count)
        return words[number]
    }
    
    func getFlag() -> String {
        return "🇮🇹"
    }
}

3. Add your new class here in the LanguageFactory.swift.

Your language will be available in the picker!
