LingQ

Envisioning the Future of Language Learning UX

Recent research has shown that this little known app is the most effective language app. Discovering LingQ as a user, I quickly saw its potential and equally its need for UX refinement. This led me to propose a conceptual redesign, not as an immediate overhaul but as a visionary guide for the app's evolutionary path.

Research-Driven Approach

Conducted exhaustive user interviews and analyzed existing feedback, identifying key UX challenges such as unclear method guidance, an imbalance between reading and listening functions, and a daunting experience for beginners.

Speculative Design Solutions

  • Dynamic Home Tab
    Proposed as the primary interface, providing a more engaging and user-friendly experience from the start.
  • Balanced Learning Engagement
    A strategic shift to emphasize both reading and listening, addressing the core methodology of LingQ and improving user comprehension.
  • Streamlined User Onboarding
    Simplified entry points for new users to alleviate initial overwhelm and guide them into the learning process
