The main objective of the TEC++US project is to create a transnational tool that facilitates the learning of useful basic words/expressions/questions for children, during the first week of adaptation to a new country or in the acquisition of language skills in basic school.

It is expected that after this week of using the application, the user will acquire more vocabulary than is available in the application, simply by the fact that individuals enter into active conversations with other individuals with the help of the application, associate the available words more quickly and begin to associate them with new words through direct interaction with the language.

This tool will serve not only the school in learning a new language, but also, when necessary, in supporting the mobility of citizens between countries of the European Union, using a design logic of universal design.
