Redesigning Learning
How to improve User Experience for learning a language
Problem
Duolingo is an app known to help people learn new languages daily as easy as only 5 minutes per day. But it lacks a key component of effective learning: Human Interaction. Language learning goes beyond memorizing words—it requires social engagement, contextual understanding, and real conversations, which are limited in the current experience.
As a result, users lack opportunities to validate their understanding and may feel isolated throughout their learning journey.
How can this be addressed?
This project is all about fixing the "lonely learning" problem in apps like Duolingo. While those apps are great for vocab, they often leave users hanging when it actually comes time to speak. I designed a way to bring real people into the mix.
Once you’ve mastered a set of words, you can jump into a quick, live session with a tutor or a fluent speaker right in the app. It’s not just random chatting; these sessions are based on exactly what you’ve been studying, so you can finally use what you’ve learned in a real conversation without the pressure.
How can this be integrated into their existing plans?
Since this would be a feature that would still need to be put to test, Duolingo can start giving free trials to their users and then they can decide if they want to upgrade their plan or stay in their previous plan.
