“I want to be able to learn a new language with the few spare time I have left between my duties and feel like I’m still learning.”
“I’ve tried online classes but I never get to finish them.”
"With your busy schedule, you're trying to keep on track with your learning, so you think creating a schedule would be better. Go ahead and create a new schedule goal."
I was able to see how easy it was for the users to find and create a goal, this to see if I needed to make some changes in the structure or navigation of the app.
"After learning a new word in school, you want to write it down to remember it. Add a new word to your vocabulary."
I wanted to know how easy it would be for the users to add a new word to their vocabulary and how this would help them to remember words or phrases.
"You're on the bus and you have 20 minutes until your next stop. Complete a new writing exercise."
With this task, I wanted to know how much time It can take to the users to complete an exercise, if they found it useful and how useful they found it. I also wanted to test if they understood the difference between each style of learning and how to use them.
I decided to change the bottom navigation, with a circle rounding the current page instead of the square, I did this because I realized the square above used to occupy more space that could be used on content of the screen.
Before, the third section had two words instead of just one (study/review) which needed more space and there wasn't the need for both words. I decided to keep the word "review" because the meaning of the word is more connected to what that page is intended to do.
This is the start of the onboarding. I decided to change the language settings at first because sometimes the users want to change their language settings to the language they're learning to get a more immersive experience.
This personalized goals can help the users set their own schedule based on their needs and daily duties. Here, they are able to switch for a 10-minute learning everyday, or an hour two days a week. The app would send them push notifications If they want to prior to starting their learnings as a reminder, with a mandatory push notification at the time they set their studies on the schedule.
There are many problems that could be found on actual learning apps, from the feeling of not actually learning to forgetting about goals, this can be overwhelming.
With New Lingua, I tried to do a different aproach to solve the problems of the users by mainly adding different styles of learning as options, it is known by many research that almost every human falls into one or many of this categories. With this, the users will be able to learn faster by getting knowledge in a way that they understand it, or they can simply mix everything if they'd like. There's also personalized goals for those that want to receive a push notifications specific times and days, and other features like a page dedicated to those who want to listen or read stuff to be more familiarized with the language.
