This sounds like a good application. You need to narrow down the features to MVP and additional features. Furthermore you need to identify if and how you can do text to speech with Tigrinya, if that's in your MVP.

Things to do before Friday:

  • Verify that text-to-speech in Tigrinya can work with an API.
  • Define the MVP tightly, I suggest making user-stories and maybe drawing the app a bit.
  • Define the roles each tech stack will serve in the project.
