The project’s goal is to create a product that allows people to connect with existing language learning resources, thus contributing to friulian language promotion and revitalization. 

It was essential to put language at the center of the study. To achieve this, I engaged directly with individuals in the age between 15 and 35 years old, living in Friuli’s region, and gathering their favorite Friulian expressions. 
The approach involved asking each participant a simple question: 

"What is your favorite Friulian word?"

This led to the collection of 110 words, which are the basis for all future elaborations presented.
