Show HN: My cousin in Morocco almost quit coding because of English (fikr.net)
I’ve spent the last 2 years watching my cousin in Morocco struggle to learn Python. Not because he lacked the brains, but because every tutorial assumed fluency in English. Every new term meant 10 tabs of Google Translate.
Turns out, he’s not alone. 75% of the world’s population doesn’t speak English, yet 95% of coding resources are English. So we built FIKR: coding courses taught natively in French, Dutch and German (with more languages coming).
Yeah, you can find a random YouTube video explaining Python in French or Arabic. But stitching those into a learning path? It doesn't get the same results, also most of them only cover the basics.
We’re not another coding platform. We give the middle finger to the idea that you need English to build tech.
We’re launching in one week. First 100 people on the waitlist get 30% off.
Test our beta and if our French lesson references baguettes one more time or the Berlin subway example forgets Munich exists, tell us. We’ll fix it and credit you in the lesson notes.
Thank you for your time.
