FAQs:

## What is Miniflash?
•	We love languages! And we think that everyone should explore learning a language for any, if not all, the amazing benefits. Miniflash believes in combining generate AI 📲 and a focused vocabulary input approach 🤓 to becoming fluent in your language of choice! 😇

## How are we different to other platforms?
•	Glad you asked! We focus on conversational fluency as the goal of learning any language rather than learning about how to use a single mono-directional phrase at an airport... 🤮. We understand that to become conversational, you have to converse 🗣. This can be really scary, especially in the beginning. So, we use generative AI to create sentences and questions from your focus words 🦜 and you can begin using them with our AI chatbots to have friendly, easy and escapable conversations in your chosen language. ⛳

## Alright, I'm feeling convinced. Can I try this out for free?
