It's a really good idea! My 5-year-old cousin tried it and had fun learning words! :)

Pros:

The skill is fun, cute, creative, and useful for kids!

Cons:

None I can think of.

Hey PH, I am a student from India, Studying computer science at Delhi University. I am a passionate builder and invest time in building products. I am an Apple WWDC'17 scholar, Microsoft Student Partner. I built an Alexa skill named as Fun Learn because from the beginning of my studies, I was weak at pronouncing words. I was not good at speaking english fluently. To be honest I was a lazy kid and reading the books with all those words, and their phonetics was not that interesting for me. With time I got better but there are times, when I still make mistakes. I got my echo dot few months back and I started experimenting with Alexa and starting building Alexa skills. After using it for quite sometime I realised Alexa can be a great teacher and a friend who can help kids or someone like me to learn english pronunciation. With few iterations and experimentation I was able to build a dummy use case and it worked! Fun Learn is a fun and awesome skill to learn to pronounce English words, spell them, learn their meanings, the part of speech they are, and also an example sentence that uses the word! Fun Learn is your kid's new English teacher now! Simply open the skill, select the level you want to play from Easy, Medium, and Hard, and Fun Learn will start teaching the kid a new word! Fun Learn selects the words based on the difficulty, and asks your kid to pronounce it. In case of a mistake, Fun learn teaches the right way to speak the word by using the phonetics and if a kid is not able to get the word right, we skip the word and move to next. Fun Learn comes with Help, which changes based on when the kid asks for help. Fun Learn is full of delights, It will be a true friend by cheering for you when you speak the word right, Welcoming you differently every time you comes in, motivating you in case of a mistake and much more! Do let me know how it is, any suggestions. Looking forward to great feedback and happy to answer any questions you got ❤️
