Hey,

I'm looking for language learning addicts like myself to create vocabulary learning packs for an app I help develop
called UnlockYourBrain (www.goo.gl/lFTLLF). Our mission is to integrate learning into people's daily lives in a
(nearly) effortless way.

It's really simple - every time you turn on your phone, the app replaces your lockscreen with a short vocabulary
question. Just slide the right answer to unlock your phone. The average smartphone user unlocks their phone 32
times a day - that's 32 bite-sized learning opportunities. So far, the app offers 8 languages at different levels of
fluency.

We're looking for language learners to create and upload vocabulary lists in any language and covering any topic.
These would then be available for anyone to download for free when we launch our public Marketplace in August.
For example:

- Zulu travel terms
- How to get by on a Brazilian beach
- Ordering pizza in 50 languages

Feel free to reply here or email me at fraser.bowers@unlockyourbrain.com if you're interested in joining our
community of language unlockers.

Thanks!

Fraser

Haha. There's always a button for simple unlocking in the middle of the screen.

Then it can be interesting :-) But 32 times is not that much but maybe better than nothing of course.
