Redesign it with AI- Duolingo

Background files – please review:

List of ideas for redesign from our discussion- based on user research:

🔁 Learning Modes & Experiences

  • Grammar Sandbox / Grammar Dojo: Playful, flexible grammar practice.

  • Conversation Dojo: Practice realistic conversations.

  • Time-boxed Learning: User-directed (e.g. 10 mins/day).

  • Non-linear Learning: Let users choose learning paths freely.

  • Safe Retry Mode: Retry without punishment; remove XP penalties.

  • Slow Mode: For beginners or processing support.


🧠 Personalization & Progress

  • Culturally Sensitive Paths: Choose grammar, speaking, or situational focus (e.g. airport, restaurant).

  • Set Personal Goals: E.g. “Order food in Portuguese before my trip.”

  • Custom Teacher Design: Pick personality traits (e.g. strict on grammar).


🗣️ Real-Life & Comprehensible Input

  • Simulated Real-Life Scenarios: Market, hotel, restaurant—video or immersive experience.

  • Songs, Jokes, Idioms: Reinforce rhythm, memory, cultural fluency.

  • Facial Expressions + Tone: Use to support meaning (comprehensible input).

  • Swear Word or Idiom Literacy: Teach language people actually use.


🎮 Motivation & Engagement

  • Existing Quick Games: Match Madness, Lightning Round, Adventures.

  • Context-Rich Flashcard Jams: Customizable vocab with visuals.

  • Meaningfully Silly Interactions: Fun but useful, not absurd.


🤝 Social Learning

  • Sociability Options: Learn with family, friends, or avatars.

  • Collaborative Jokes: Build a joke together—teaches rhythm, vocabulary.

  • Avoiding Bad Habits: Safeguards for peer learning with non-native speakers.
