Feature Ideas

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.

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.

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

It would be great to have optional AI generated conversational goals for each loop. Things like: "Learn Alice's favorite boardgame." "Order a baguette with prosciutto." "Tell John about somewhere you've travelled." The AI can review transcripts after a conversation and asses if the objective was achieved in the transcript. If so, the user can be awarded extra experience points. I think this solves two issues with Lingo Looper quite well - it helps me avoid only talking about "comfortable" topics and forces me to stretch my vocabulary, and it helps deal with the fact that I often don't know what I want to say/do in a conversation and would be stumped even in my native language.

I do have a suggestion for an update, is there a possibility to include a conversation simulation with a taxi or bus driver at lingo looper in location France/Paris simulation? I really would love to master conversations with a taxi or bus driver. Possibly something you could consider this update with the app developers. Many thanks. Kind wishes.

i would be nice to read a book or short story in the language i am trying to learn to learn the punctuation and more

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…

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

Right now we already have nice granular feedback on each line of a conversation, but it can sometimes be a little daunting to step through and review everything step by step. It would be really nice to also get feedback on the conversation as a whole - pointing out things like common repeated mistakes, monotony, and anything else that takes the full conversation into account. I am thinking something more longform than the grammar and fluency scores we currently get - more like text-based AI-generated critique. Likewise, feedback on all conversations that you've had so far could also be really interesting to keep an eye on overall progress. (In the interim, being able to export our conversations to do this ourselves could also work!)

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.

I think this would be useful because many people go to a hair salon/barber shop regularly. A language barrier is also very stressful at a salon or barber shop, and it requires some specialized vocabulary if you want a specific thing done. You could make it just hair, or you could have different people there that talk about nail and spa stuff too in order to add some variety to it.

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