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.

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!)

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

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!

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 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 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.

I'm motivated by milestones and recognitions of my progress. I want an achievements system in the game, so that I can have clear goals to aim for, feel a sense of accomplishment when I reach them, and stay motivated in my language learning journey.

I’m just going to be honest: I want a streak save, please. I’m on day 72, I think, for two reasons: I really enjoy this app as I like how you can continue conversations with characters and I really enjoy practicing my languages. I think this app is perfect as it is. The thing is I’m really sick right now, laryngitis, and I can’t speak for the life of me, and it doesn’t look like I’m going to be able to speak soon. So I’m doing all kind of ridiculous things to keep my streak, which for some reason, is pretty important to me as you can understand🙂‍↕️. So Mr. LingoLooper, can we have something as simple as a pause button ? Please? Thank you.

I think this would be super useful! I currently have over 300 bookmarked Japanese words. I truly appreciate the current system, which allows me to filter words based on mastery level and type, and search based on definition. However, I struggle with two things: While doing a loop, for instance, I often find myself forgetting the words I have bookmarked and want to practice. With the current system, it's really hard to filter through all of them or search based on the word/meaning because I don't remember them in the first place. Exporting also becomes a little inconvenient because I have to filter through all the words again to pick the ones I want to add to Anki. I try not to add more than 5-10 at a time so that my deck doesn't pile up. I wish to be able to: Add several tags (if possible) and access the bookmarks by label: e.g., "Travel" for words related to customs, "Food" for words related to food ingredients, etc., or "All" if I feel like going through all the words.Export based on tags. Overall, I'm loving the bookmark system, but this addition would make it twice as useful. Thanks!

When I put the app into background during a loop (for example because I had to take a call, or was looking something up) it can happen that the OS shuts down the app and it has to restart. In that case, I would like to be able to continue the loop.

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