Motivation

I am a big fan of learning languages. Speak 4 fluently so far: Kazakh, English, Spanish and Russian. Learning French for the last year. Started from 0 with the following great book Easy French Step-by-Step. After finishing it 2 times and conspecting everything I moved to awesome french comics Les Aventures de Tintin. Generally, I would like to be aware of what is happening in the french and spanish speaking countries. So, I wrote this script using tutorial from freeCodeCamp and in particular following video by Abdul.

Stack
