the language training app - something’s wrong with it and it’s not just the need for text instructions it’s something more fundamental. 2 45s vocal language classes a day, play anytime you want mini games, sundays you get feedback from a trainer. curriculum constantly adapts to your level and needs.

Would be helpful if the app showed the text as I spoke to it and helped me refine how to correctly pronounce things or give me tips on how to improve or retain vocabulary

Just my 2 cents from product and user perspective, very high level, happy to explain or elaborate more- UI * Larger font size, height and bigger cards *Highlight the first place that you want users to explore or come back to *I always like Material UI components for simple look & feel, maybe can reference that (which you may already know) UX * Immediate feedback after a user action. As simple as sound or animation helps. Especially during the lesson, the speaker is speaking a paragraph before user can interact. Can reference Duolingo (not gaslighting part), it highlights the word the speaker is speaking. Same for user, when the user is saying something, display the words help. * Simple pop up when a milestone / task is complete Understand this is MVP so maybe there isn't any reward/ progression system but it's good for engagement and retention. Really cool this is like personal language tutor. Excited to see where it goes!

There's like 30 seconds of instruction speech for maybe 4 seconds of dialogue. I think one really well worded sentence should be sufficient instruction. Maybe a good illustration of the scenario can help sell the role playing.

It’s great that you are building this. I tried to speed-learn French and have many thoughts on language apps. Happy to connect sometime and share my perspective if helpful! A bit about me: I wanted to take the DELF B1 (required for citizenship) within 6 months from zero French background. A tutor told me I need at least 2 years of study and that I’d leave the exam room crying, which just made me want to do it more. After experimenting with a few different apps, I ended up using Lingvist for vocabulary and Lingoda for grammar. Took the exam in the 6 month time frame and passed it. Now I preach about the language apps to anyone who will listen.
