Feature Ideas

I want the game to give me immediate feedback on my pronunciation, so that I can learn from my mistakes and feel more assured that I'm speaking correctly.

Enable people to use LingoLooper hands-free with voice control, for instance when driving a car.

It would be interesting to practice shorter phone calls; order, make appointments, etc...

I think with the grocery store location being added a location for a shopping mall would be good where you can have conversations with staff members, stores for different things for e.g. a shoe store, perfume store or a store for suits or everyday clothes. There's so many different subtopics you could add in a mall location

Ask Einstein to explain the theory of relativity in German, chat with Edith Piaf about what inspired her songs in French or have a conversation with Astrid Lindgren and tell her what you think about her famous Swedish children's stories. Broaden your cultural and historical knowledge in your target language in a fun and interesting way.

the avatars are always asking about us in every line, if they talk more we can ask them about stuff

To practise which tense to talk in, the questions can be pre-planned to make you have to use past imperfect, past perfect, present, etc…

You only get one chance to introduce yourself to a character, and then they recall all the past history. And that is great!...but.... It would be great to practice introductions repeatedly, and allow the character to respond to you as if it was the first time they heard your story. For instance, I'd like to change my intro as if though I'm single, married, kids, no kids, an engineer, a lawyer...and just let the new conversation evolve from there. It would help me practice not only my standard intro, but i can practice different words and subjects without the past history 'polluting' the converation. Ideally, one person in each location.

I often struggle to remember and use new words. I want a vocabulary trainer that's part of the game, so that it becomes easier for me to learn, recall, and confidently use a wider range of words in my conversations.

The same way Duolingo and others allow for "streak freezes" which are a form of lenience on the routine of practice, I think it would be cool if LL allowed you to (maybe 3 times a month) use a "joker" to text with your AI avatars (or texting a loop provides waaaay less points/coins or something). Not as a replacement for speaking, but moreso for: the times when you can't speak out loud for 8 minutes and it's easier to textlearning how to text in general (my wife pointed out she can speak really well in German but can't text cause of the accents, same in Spanish)

I want a dedicated 'school level' in the game that focuses specifically on practicing various aspects of grammar, so that I can target my weak points, understand grammatical structures better, and become more proficient in using the language correctly.

I absolutely love this app but I realized that the conversations are sometimes very unnatural, strange, and unrealistic. The person i talk to doesn’t adapt to what I say. The reason I am learning Norwegian is because many people in my church are Norwegian so I want to be able to talk to them and understand them. When I was talking to the AI about spirituality, it was very weird because she kept talking about snowballs. I tried to change the conversation but every time i said something she would say something about snowballs. I told the AI to stop talking about snowballs and she kept yapping about snowballs, how does that have anything to do with faith or spirituality? I would really appreciate more realistic conversations and better ADAPTIVE learning. Thanks

I often want to tell the character who to be so that it’ll be directly applicable to my life. That would be so amazing. For example, I haven’t met a kid character yet and I wanted to practice telling the kids I teach chorus that I learned a bit of their language and to try teaching in the language. The Free Talk is nice because you can choose to talk about music for example, but the character won’t pretend to be 5 and in a music class for you. Anyway, I understand if that’s too hard to implement and I appreciate the space to make suggestions!

It would be great to be able to download all transcripts for a language, to be able to review and study them later!

I want the game to let me choose whether I practise speaking or listening comprehension. In listening mode, the avatar would speak 80% of the time. In speech mode, I would speak most of the time.
