1) The
product
that
we
came
up
with
is
a
social
media-based
program
that
provides
users
with
a
fun
and
new
way
to
learn,
practice,
and
use
a
new
language.
There
is
a
large
push
for
people
to
become
bilingual
with
the
changing
environment
in
the
United
States
as
a
diverse
country.
Our
product
allows
users
to
learn
a
new
language
that
can
help
them
in
life,
while
adding
a
social
aspect.
The
app
will
allow
users
to
learn
slang
and
modern
terms
that
are
used
in
the
counties
in
which
the
language
they
are
learning
is
used.
By
connecting
to
Facebook,
users
will
be
able
to
record
their
progress
and
challenge
their
friends
with
games
and
quizzes.
2) Both
Matt
and
I
have
a
passion
for
social
media.
Social
media
platforms
are
becoming
the
main
platform
for
people
to
communicate,
and
are
large
aspects
in
a
college
students
life.
3) Current
competition
for
the
product
is
Rosetta
Stone
and
Duolingo.
Both
programs
use
technology
to
teach
a
foreign
language.
However,
Rosetta
Stone
is
both
highly
structured,
teaching
only
formal
dialogues
and
classic
vocabulary,
and
its
cost
is
extremely
expensive
compared
to
other
programs.
On
the
other
hand,
Duolingo
is
a
free
service
that
tracks
progress
in
foreign
languages
through
their
website
and
app.
However,
this
service
is
also
structured
with
formal
vocabulary,
and
does
not
allow
for
slang
or
common
language
to
be
used.
Our
assets
include
networking,
organization,
and
the
Spanish
language.
By
using
these
assets,
we
will
be
able
to
create
a
user-
friendly
interface
that
we
can
market
through
various
forms
of
social
media,
and
our
knowledge
of
Spanish
will
allow
for
a
language
that
we
can
use
in
our
beginning
stages.
It
will
also
make
it
possible
to
create
a
Spanish
version
of
the
program
that
we
could
release
in
Spanish-speaking
markets.
