Feature Ideas

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

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.

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

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)

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 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!

As someone who loves cars it would be nice to be able to talk about them in the language your learning and I'm sure it would be useful for when actually visiting a mechanic or a garage

I think having a bank location where you can pretend to open an account, discuss different banking options and products or talking about financial transactions or currency exchange would be really useful for people relocating to a different country. I think this location goes well with the office location helping expand professional/more specific vocab

I feel like this would be helpful especially to navigatebetterwhile traveling

I want to save word and phrases I encounter during my loops, and see them in a combined list on my profile. Ideally a way to export them.

A new location to practice typical interactions in a grocery store, plus more specialized topics like asking for specific foods, shelf life, ingredients ...
