Summary

The Maasai language app is an innovative tool designed to teach the Maasai language in a fun and interactive way. The app uses WhatsApp as its primary medium for communication, allowing users to learn the language through multiple-choice questions and image-based responses. The app's database stores user details and learner responses, enabling it to track progress and provide personalized feedback. To build this app, developers must create a Laravel project, install Twilio SDK, initialize the database, set environment variables, add models, controllers, and migration files, and define API routes. Once complete, the app can be tested using Ngrok and shared with users through various channels. The app's potential for expansion includes adding more topics, incorporating voice or video responses, and introducing competitive elements to make learning more engaging.
