2. Introduction
A vocabulary learning system is a system that exists because these days where English is the most popular languages, as 2010 study shows that 359 million people speak English as their first language. English is an essential language these days because you can explore a new culture, travel the world, and access to knowledge resources. The goal of this project is to develop a website to help the users to learn new English vocabulary words.
By learning English you can explore many cultures, there are many countries which their native language is English. By learning English you can interact with them, have a coffee with someone, and learn more about their culture. Learning English will make it easier to communicate with other people and they will feel comfortable talking to you if you speak their language, they will be open to you and share more stories with you.
There are more than 50 English speaking countries, where English is either the official or the primary language. It is the third most common primary language in the world. If you want to travel to any country, you will be able to communicate with others only if you know their language. If you went to a restaurant or a shopping mall or a taxi, you can easily talk to the workers.
You can access to many knowledge resources from books or the Internet if you know English. You can learn math, chemistry, physic, and a new programing language, etc. if you know English. Most of the knowledge resource available online in English. These days all the information is just a click away on the internet. Now days so many people want to learn English and the first step to learn a new language is to enhance the vocabulary. That’s why we created this project, to solve the problem that so many people has by improving their vocabulary. We made the system friendly and easy to use, so users can find the information that they need easily. The system has many features, which include; users can register and test their level before starting the learning process. Users can learn new vocabularies in diverse categories by words and by videos. Users can interact with the system, by adding a new word and the system will be integrated with Google to check the translation.
3. Domain Analysis
Google Translation:A service provided by Google to translate part of the text or Web page to another language. Google translate provide more than 75 languages. Google translate provide alternative translation with the original translation
Pros: No need to registerSupports voice translatorFreeQuick translation
Cons: The translation isn't accurate
Babylon:Helps to translate texts and phrases, this site includes more than 1,600 Dictionary and glossary of various fields and areas and provides more than 75 languages, the site provides access to synonyms for any word
Pros:No need to registerContains Dictionary
Cons:The translation isn't accurateNot allow voice translation
Vocabulary.com:
This site contains two parts
Section I: Challenges contains a quick-set questions on some of the words chosen Section II: the translation, gives a translator with a short description of the word.
Pros: It gives a short description of the word with translation.
Easy to use.
No need to register
Cons:not allow voice translation.

4. Risk/Constraints
We are trying to look forward into scenarios that could pose a threat to the successful outcome of our project:1-Time will be a risk in our project.2-Some group members haven’t worked together before.3-Some members of group are not familiarity with some web language program that are included in our system.
Risk No. Potential impact on project

Overall threat
1 High High High High
2 Medium High Medium Medium
3 Medium High Medium Medium
6. Quality Assurance Plan:
For quality assurance, after getting each feedback for each phase, we correct the mistakes directly and we don’t start the next phase until we correct them. We discussed some of the notes with our instructor. In addition, we’ve review the whole project and we pretend that we are the instructors ourselves and never saw the project before, so we can catch all mistakes! After we finish each we made a peer review among the members, as seen in table.

18. Conclusion:
After finishing the first part of our graduation project, which include the analyses and design phases, we have learned a lot by practicing the software life cycle in one project. The discussion with our adviser and the notes from our examiners gave us good ideas and some thoughts on the project. We faced some challenges as a team but we managed to fix them. We can’t wait to implement the project and see our work in the analyses and design phases in real, not only graphs and words. We hope that it will be helpful for the users and they will be able to improve their language, so they can explore a new culture, travel the world, and access to many knowledge resources.
