Founder and Developer
James Doherty
Hey! I'm James, a high school student and software developer with a
passion for languages.
I started learning Spanish a long time ago with apps like Duolingo,
but quickly realized I needed more. The basics were fine, but I
wasn't really learning the language. So, I switched things up by
reading books and watching TV in Spanish. It helped, but it wasn't
exactly beginner-friendly and got tiring. I spent a lot of time
juggling a Spanish book in one hand and Google Translate in the
other. Watching TV was even tougher—I couldn't understand much and
got bored and discouraged quickly. I eventually got the hang of it,
but I knew there had to be a better way.
In 2023, I
discovered I could integrate generative AI into my own app, and
that's when the idea for Charlando hit me. It's the perfect mix of
consuming content and practicing Spanish. With Scenarios, AI Explain
and Translate, Vocab, Verbs, Hints and much more, I realized this
app could make a huge difference for language learners.
Now, I'm dedicated to helping others avoid the same frustrations I
faced. With Charlando, I hope to make language learning more
engaging and interactive for everyone.
