This is Ardam. It turns any English article into natural Tenglish, right on the same page. It doesn’t teach English. Chrome extension, coming soon.
See the exampleSwitch this paragraph, then point at a dotted word. On a phone, tap it. We wrote this example by hand to show the style Ardam aims for.
Event sourcing stores every change as an immutable log, so a service can rebuild its state after a crash. When one order spans several services, the saga pattern undoes the finished steps if a later step fails.
lo prathi change ni oka la store chestharu. Anduke crash ayina taruvatha kuda service thana state ni malli build cheskogaladu. Oka order chala services meedha nadisthe, tarvatha step fail ayinappudu aipoyina steps ni undo chesthundi.
Formal Telugu can be as hard as the English you started with. Ardam aims for how you actually talk: Telugu sentences in English letters, with technical words left alone, because your docs, interviews and teammates all use them.
