Re: Open source DuoLingo

 Our team is familiar with FreeHebrew/FreeGreek. I would say it is a bit
different than that. FreeHebrew is primarily a video-based method. A
Duolingo-styled method is one of inductive learning and drilling. The idea
would be to support in-class learning with short non-biblical sentence
drilling. We are looking to develop something more interactive.
