This skill was inspired by Dr Speech by Mandy Chan. Like her, English was my second language when I immigrated to this country. It took me many frustrating years to learn and practice. The progress was often limited by willing practice partners, time, and space. Alexa would have been a great learning companion because it is automatic, doesn't get tired, and is patient enough to repeat as many times as you wish. Most importantly, it has a cloud backend to adaptive to your learning style and current skill set.
Following the Alexa Flash Card Skill Tutorial I was able to build this skill in a day.
This is the first version. The second version will focus specifically on TOFEL verbal questions as well as allowing user account link to track progress, increase difficulty per user.
