I think a stack that teaches Mandarin Chinese would be very interesting.

(6) A HyperCard GS stack and/or Apple II specific platform application - that
would allow; display, present a tutorial and teach the user Mandarin Chinese -
as an interactive course on Mandarin - containing all you need to learn to speak,
read, and write Chinese.
