Language Planet
In the fast-paced world that we live in, people need to be able to keep up. This includes communicating with people that speak different languages; for personal, or business purposes. The options out there now (Duolingo, Rosetta Stone, Memrise, etc) all lack something, and that is “fun”.
My goal is to make a language learning app that can tackle that problem. I want to target an audience, starting at around age 8, but offer lessons for an older audience also. This app will be sorted into three categories, lessons, multiplayer games, and their city. By doing lessons they unlock games, and items for their city. Similar to what “build your own city” games do for objectives.
Before starting practices a mascot for the language will give a short video lesson. The practice will be in different formats such as drag and drop text input, and reverse translating (translating from English to that language, and vice versa). Then when the user gets three answers in a row correct, they unlock part of a game.
These lesson practices can also be adapted for language teachers to use within their classroom by allowing teachers to track the student's progress and assign lessons. This helps language teachers put a little fun into practice.
After a designated amount of lessons, there will be tests. These tests will go over the lessons taught, and some information from previous lessons to reinforce what has been taught. After each lesson is completed a new game is unlocked.
The games will have a solo, as well as multiplayer functionality. These games will be used to reinforce what the lessons taught, as well as to compete with friends. Within each game are parts from the user’s lessons that have been unlocked through lessons. In order to unlock a game, the user must pass a test, then after getting three in a row correct in the game, the user unlocks more steps within each game. These games will earn coins to use inside of the city to buy things like houses, upgrades, more land, etc.
Upon signing up for the app the new user will choose a language, and then a country to base their city in, this also assigns the mascot for the lessons. The city will be themed according to the country and language they select. The city will be used to entertain the users while allowing them to familiarize themselves with the culture as they purchase and upgrade their city.
In order to make money off of this, we will provide monthly memberships for the users to support Language Planet, as well as to get rare items, coins faster, faster build times, change usernames, and have a gold username. Since this is targeted to a younger audience there will be a chance for everyone to get this premium rank by doing enough lessons and tests per month to unlock premium rank without paying. This will be difficult but will incentivize the users to learn a language.
Another premium feature that will be featured is the language planet extension. This will replace words on their internet browser, as they are browsing the internet according to the words they have learned in their lessons.
Color Theme: blue and green with a little brown.
Admin Panel
For the admin panel I need the following features:
The admin panel will need to be as user friendly as possible so that I can use it without needing to get into the code or database.
Lessons:
It will be organized to look like a tree, branching off of each other.
It will start with Start 1 which will cover basic words. Then go to Start two which will cover basic phrases. Then it will branch out, one side covering words, the other sentences. After each lesson, there will be a quiz to make them understand the lesson. They need to get 80% or higher to continue. There will be 10 questions. These questions will be chosen from the lesson.
Each lesson will be broken up into sections. (similar to Duolingo).
Each section will consist of a video, practice, then a quiz.
For practice, there will be drag and drop matching translations, fill in the blank, type what you hear,
A quiz will be like the tests but only for the micro lesson.
After 3-5 lessons there will be a test to review past lessons.
This will be 15 questions long, and they have to get 80% to pass. This will grab 5 random questions from previous lessons.
After a lesson, the bubble will fill with transparent water. As time goes by this will lessen. If part of it is used in a test/quiz then it will rise more accordingly.
Each quiz coins (worth more as lessons continue for difficulty)
Each test gives user gems (worth more as lessons continue for difficulty)
City:
The city will be the highlight of our app.
The users will be building a city in the country they chose. Things will be in the language they are learning. This will be based as closely as possible to the cities in the country to help them learn some of the cultures.
Things that this will need are a base city in which everyone will start out. They will need to clear things and add things. They will have a shop from coins they earn from quizzes/tests and games. Each item they build will have a time that it takes to build, and remove. They can get rid of this by using gems (which they can buy/earn.) They earn gems by doing tests. (There needs to be an algorithm for a time limit, as well as gems needed for time removal)
Users’ friends can visit these cities, and you can make your city public as well to show it off. People can donate coins to you to help build your city if they like it.
I have a design for much of this, but I am looking for animators, artists, and back end developers.
Please contact me either through here or on Discord with your portfolio, and any questions. If you can also, a quote.
