Preamble

                 Telegram is a popular instant messaging app founded by Russian entrepreneur Pavel Durov. It is very much like
                 WhatsApp and it is slated to be the nearest competitor to WhatsApp in a few years. You can send messages,
                 photos, videos, audio, stickers, and files of any type.
                 Despite the fact the code for the latest version is not published immediately, it does publish APIs for independent
                 developers and therefore, Telegram is sure to offer various interesting features in the future that WhatsApp
                 cannot afford to.

                 The growth of the app is 50% annually which is beyond expectations. Telegram is constantly upgrading its
                 features and new programming languages and the current version uses Node-JS, Express, and MongoDB in the
                 backend.

                 The best part of Telegram is that it is open-source and bot-friendly allowing thousands of programmers to
                 bring new tools that may raise the value of it and the satisfaction of users. On this background, our team has
                 been created and from this point on we took over and we set the foundation the idea of inventing the online
                 group  learning  when  it  comes  to  foreign  languages.  An  idea  that  has  never  been  materialized.  The  one
                 connecting millions of people through education. The real one. The living one.

            Identification of the need

                 Social platforms allowed today a huge opportunity for peer learning by creating groups for virtually any topic.
                 Basically, any person can set up such a group. In terms of language learning, there are tens of thousands of such
                 groups  on  Facebook,  WhatsApp,  Discord,  various  forums.  The  number  of  users  reaches  in  some  case  over
                 100.000 users. It is evident there is a need and a high request to learn foreign languages in such setup. However,
                 existing setup cannot ensure a real learning experience due to the following shortcomings:
                   •   No possibility for constant and immediate feedback. Someone may ask something and get an answer
                      during a few seconds or a few days depending on the dynamic of the group. This cause frustration and
                      downgrades the motivation of being part of such groups;
                   •   No control on the quality if feedback received. People may reply but there is generally no authority to
                      validate the answer therefore there is a lot of uncertainty in relation to the quality control. This does not
                      guarantee, and it is not a basis for good learning;
                   •   No real time moderation of these groups. There is no possibility to fight against spam as most of the
                      systems they do not offer IT tools to counter it, preferring to let the users decide if this is a spam and be
                      reported as such;
                   •   No methodology behind, nor syllabus or curricula. Only thing which is done now is exchanging messages
                      and offer quick fixes but no strategic approach to learning and no finality in terms of teaching. In other
                      words, there is no systematic group learning;
                   •   No certification or recognition of learning. It means again no finality or further use of any competence
                      achieved;
                   •   No guarantee on the real intention of the group owners. Most of these groups are partner pick-up decks
                      or a deck for the admins to invite people to join private paid lessons.
                 The alternative of the social platforms if to follow self-learning-based applications such as Duolingo, Fluentu,
                 Rosetta Stone. All these are good solutions for this type of learning. However, they have serious limitations such
                 as:
                   •   Limited or no possibility to get feedback except the automatic one delivered by the system as the primary
                      purpose is mainly to learn vocabulary;
                   •   Limited or no possibility to get deeper into the grammar aspects due to the reason explained above;
