Struggling to learn a new language? Meet Francis and Wei Jun who created @lingosnap.co a new language learning app powered by AI. Upon downloading the app, users can take and upload photos of objects 🍣 or landmarks of interest ⛩ into the app📲.
The photos are then converted into vocabulary used in context of a sentence. This method personalises users’ learning experiences and provides translations, grammar tips, and pronunciation practice designed to make language learning enjoyable and accessible to everyone.
Current users can learn Japanese 🇯🇵 through the app, with more languages to be introduced in the near future.
The founders met during the Graduate Research Innovation Programme (GRIP) and benefitted from @thehangar_by_nusenterprise , our on-campus incubator, and the Generative AI Accelerate Programme launched by NUS Enterprise (through @block71singapore ), in collaboration with @microsoft.

We had great fun meeting all of you at Student Life Fair 2024! Thanks for hopping by our booths and speaking to us about your entrepreneurial aspirations.
Students visited @thehangar_by_nusenterprise booth and signed up for the newly launched NUS Enterprise Sustainability (E-SUS) Challenge during the three-day event. It is still not too late to sign up now via our link in bio👆!
The Enterprise Academy team also organised a fireside chat and mingled with students, sharing how they can be part of the “Do Something New Today” campaign. Did you spot our very own @@nusoverseascolleges (NOC) Mascot, Whallycorn too? Thank you for all the hugs and 💕!
We asked students at the recent Student Life Fair - Will You Do Something New Today?
“Do Something New Today” is a campaign slogan for Enterprise Academy (EA). Doing something new is itself an entrepreneurial act.
A fireside chat was organised by the EA team and attended by @nuspresident, Prof Tan Eng Chye, together with more than 120 students, alumni and staff. We thank speakers Tan Wee Liang (Associate, CNP Law LLP), Hardik Dobariya (Co-Founder, Factorem), Dexter Tay (Executive Director, CASE), and Goh Yiping (Partner, McKinsey) for sharing their insights about how entrepreneurship is a life skill.
Interested to do something new today?
