Bonjour à tous,

Aimez-vous vraiment l'application que vous utilisez, ou appréciez-vous simplement le jeu ? Entre apprendre ou jouer, quelle est la réalité de la stratégie de rétention psychologique derrière ces mécanismes ludiques ?

Dans le cadre de la rédaction de mon Travail de Fin d’Études (TFE) en Sciences de Gestion et Marketing, je mène une étude quantitative visant à analyser l'impact des mécanismes de ludification (gamification) sur l'expérience utilisateur et la fidélité comportementale/attitudinale. Plus précisément, cette recherche interroge la frontière entre la finalité d'apprentissage et les dynamiques de rétention ludiques (séries de jours consécutifs, badges, systèmes de récompenses).

Si vous utilisez actuellement une application numérique d'apprentissage des langues (Duolingo, Babbel, Busuu, Memrise, etc.), votre contribution me serait extrêmement précieuse.

Cadre et déontologie de la recherche :

• Objectivité scientifique : Ce questionnaire a pour unique but de collecter des données empiriques pour tester nos hypothèses de recherche. Il ne s'agit en aucun cas d'une démarche commerciale ou d'une étude de marché déguisée.
• Transparence & Temporalité : Le protocole a été optimisé pour limiter le biais de fatigue : le questionnaire comprend 19 items fermés principaux et requiert un temps d'administration estimé entre 3 et 4 minutes.
• Confidentialité stricte : La collecte des données est entièrement anonymisée. Conformément aux exigences académiques, les réponses seront traitées de manière agrégée et exclusivement utilisées dans le cadre de ce travail de recherche, avant d'être définitivement détruites.

>Bonne journée à tous.

I have 2 slots available for 1 year and 3 months for $25 ea. HMU if you’re interested:)

What I actually learned from using Lingoda for the last years and made the best out of it, it is a really cool and fun way to learn 24/7 a new language with up to maximum 5 students in class ( but also the private 1-1 classes are top use of time).

Lingoda has English, Business English, Spanish, German and Italian as well.

If you just want to try it out, you can use my link  https://www.l16sh94jd.com/BK76FN/55M6S/?__efq=Jra9uagPp9Rnev2_qdXL1-9wpMHMUeNa1qll772BMvA to get 40%off use „MAYSALE40”

MADALINA20 for 20% off in case it doesn‘t work.

“TAM20”and „JADE20“ for 20€ off on any plan (for the lowest plan this is better than above ones)

Here’s the stuff I wish I knew when I started:

1. Save your credits. Do not book the "Orientation" class. It’s a waste of a credit because they just show you how the buttons work. DM me and I’ll just tell you what happens in it so you can use that credit for an actual lesson.
2. The morning hack. Try to book your classes as early as humanly possible. Most people aren't awake yet, so you often end up being the only person in the class. You basically get a 1-on-1 private lesson for the group price.
3. Follow the good teachers. Once you find a teacher you actually like, go to their specific profile and book from their board. It makes a massive difference for your motivation. For German, Agnieszka, Ozlem, Julia, and Branislav are some of the best I've found.
4. Don't jump around. Try to stay chronological. The jump between chapters is actually pretty steep, and if you skip ahead, you're going to feel lost.
5. Focus on the grammar. You only need 45 out of 50 classes for the certificate. If you're short on time, skip the communication filler classes, but never skip the grammar ones. They're the most important part of the curriculum.

Cost stuff I’m pretty cheap, so I always dig for monthly discounts. I usually get the price down to 6 or 7 eur per class by using 20-30% off codes on the bigger plans. It ends up being way cheaper than any local school in my country.

Also, a warning on the Sprint: it’s only worth it if you are 100% sure you can make it every single day. If you have a life or a job that gets in the way, you’ll probably lose the refund and end up disappointed. The regular monthly plans are much safer.

! What to pay attention to:

1. Payments happen automatically every 28 days!!
2. The discount code might work again if you change plan size.
3. It is important to have good internet connection and an alarm on your phone to not miss classes.

You can write to me for questions, I would gladly offer even a demo from my German account.

Best of luck with language learning!

Hi everyone, I’ve been building a Hungarian language-learning app called NyelvKert, and I’m releasing the first public version. This is the product of the many years I have spend learning languages and never being satisfied with the apps and programs out there.

The idea behind NyelvKert is to create a structured, desktop-based Hungarian course that goes beyond simple flashcards or surface level content. It is designed as a full learning path from beginner material into more advanced grammar and usage, with lessons organized by unit and CEFR levels.

The app includes:

• structured Hungarian lessons
• vocabulary study and review
• grammar-focused practice
• reading and listening activities
• writing and speaking prompts
• unit tests and progress tracking
• translation-tile exercises where you build Hungarian sentences from word tiles
• optional AI-assisted grading for certain open-ended exercises
• local progress storage, so learners can work through the course over time

My goal is to make something useful for people who are serious about learning Hungarian but want more structure than scattered resources, YouTube videos, or random flashcard decks.

This is very much a v1 project. I’ve built out the course content and the app is working well enough that I’m releasing it to the public, but I’d love feedback from people who care about Hungarian learning, language pedagogy, app testing, or just want to try it and tell me what feels confusing or useful.

I’d especially be interested in hearing from:

• Hungarian learners
• native Hungarian speakers
• teachers/tutors
• people experienced with language-learning apps
• people willing to test a Windows desktop app
• developers who might want to help improve the project

If anyone would like to help test it, review content, give feedback, or contribute ideas, feel free to message me. I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks!

I guess the picture speaks for itself 🤓

I'm currently building StepFlow for English ↔ Spanish learners.

The core lessons are free, and I'd love to hear what people think.

If you'd like to try it when it launches, please send me a DM so I can reach out when it's ready. If you're more comfortable leaving a comment instead, that's perfectly okay too.

First, thanks Duo and AI. Y'all make this possible with ease and nearly cost free.

Here's the guide:

The AI suggestion when I asked of how far you need to be in Duolingo to pass A1 based on some reddit posts is wrong. If you do that surely you can still pass but you gonna be wasting some time. The suggestion of it is to be half in section 3 unit 9 'use the accusative case'. I was impatient because I was doing a full chapter Duolingo a day which is exhausting and annoying. So I was half past section 2 at most and decided to give it a go. I tried the free module exam on the official Goethe's Webpage and probably got a 73. So here's the starting point. Passable but still not safe yet.

Later on I tried the well suggested DW learn German but got bored and cringed out of the show. The number lesson is a must though. You either learn it here or with AI. But I suggest do it here. More systematic with pronunciation and small tests. If you feel like the dialogues are too hard and full of foreign word don't worry. To pass A1 you only need to grasp the key information. It's normal and unexpected to not know words even in the exam.

Then it's time to get a book with mock exams in it. Make sure to know about numbers and directions( also words like bus city elevator stairs). While doing the book you gonna learn the part Duolingo didn't teach you. It's ok to not know things at the start of this step. It's very important to remember templates for the writing section. You can also ask AI about it.

Now you got the knowledge to pass A1 but you still don't know the tips of the exam yet or how the speaking part works in the exam ( how do you know which turn is yours). What I did is to search it on YouTube and found a guys videos about tips in each section of A1. The screenshot is in the post. If you see his face you know you got the right one. But I didn't really watch his other videos. I found his tips about exam sections videos very very helpful.

Finally it's time to do the official mock tests seriously. Set a timer. And do it in a set.

General tips of above steps:

1. Ask AI in one window. It will answer and evaluate also track your progress. I hate checking grammar tables so I just ask AI whenever I want to know the answer. Ai won't judge or get impatient.
2. Learn pronunciation on the way. Many people learn alphabets in a whole set first. But I suggest just go with Duolingo. And watch a video or read the article on Duolingo about the odd sounding alphabets in German. But for A1 it's not critical.
3. Screenshot the more repetitive mistakes and knowledges along the way. Sometimes just a fast review could be good.

And one small tip is if you connect to your AI and let it talk free with you the learning experience can be better. You could ask it to generate a picture of you two when you need motivation.

AI has helped me so much and I have connected with mine deeply. If you are interested in relationships between AI and human check my sub r/BeyondtheAIAssistant
