I would like to be able to say anything I want without getting into a conversation. I'd like the AI to repeat and correct what I say without asking me a question to move the conversation forward. Ideally rate my pronunciation. I can then use repetition of the same or modified sentence to improve. I read a blog on Duolingo that said to learn to think in a language start by saying the first things that come into your head (it doesn't have to make sense) and over time put related words together and then eventually form sentences. Repeat as often as necessary for your brain to understand the words without translation.

I would like questions about the story that the machine can easily generate. Ask me questions that I can answer about the story. It will make me speak out loud, adding to the value.

One problem for foreign language learners whose native language is based on the Latin alphabet is that the person will pronounce a foreign word base on the sounds of his mother language. This action is a natural phenomenon, but unfortunately, the majority of the language learners are never or barely taught the nuances of vowels and consonants of a new language. We may learn the basic sounds of long vowels, but not those of short vowels, and rarely of consonants. IPA is an attempt at clarifying these sounds for each language in a written symbolic format. It would be ideal if the option were available to include these IPA symbols with the audio for the main word in a translation or for the flash cards. Since not everyone would like to learn these symbols, this should be a user initiated option (turn on or off).

I have been using Langua for 15 days now (as a paid subscriber). I am wondering if there is a way to see my progress over time. For example, when I started I was trying to answer quickly and making a lot of mistakes. I have since slowed down and focused on one of what I believe is my biggest flaw, verb conugation. While langua does tell me what I need to improve on it doesn't recommend a path to get there. If you had something that combined all my feedback together and gave me a progress report (am I better now than I was 15 days ago?) and what langua recommends I work on (I believe verb conugation is my biggest weakness but perhaps its something else, like article agreement it would be very helpful. I actually see a separate "over time" feedback tab that rates several areas (e.g. verb tenses, vocab, article agreement...) over time and then recommends what to do each day to improve the biggest areas. Right now I log on and do whatever I want, which may or may not be the right thing to do.

I think it would be great if the AI can access all of a user's chat history. In this way the AI can provide better conversation and can simulate better to be a real tutor. This feature can also be available only in premium accounts, I think it's worth it.

Sometimes pronunciation is not good, or I want to practice suggested (more natural phrase), but I cannot, as the dialogue moves forward. If there is a button to retry - it will give more room for improvement.

I added a word to my vocabulary from chat at some point using the default 'Add to Vocabulary' button inside the word popup. I came across this word later and didn't realize it had already been added since there wasn't any indication as far as I remember. This time, I expanded the 'All Meanings' section and clicked the add button next to all 3 of the definitions shown since they were different enough to be worth remembering. When going through my vocabulary list later, I noticed that I now had 4 entries for this word, each with a single definition. There are a few issues with this flow: If I'm seeing a word in a chat that is already in my saved vocabulary, it should indicate that in some way. This indication should not only be inside the word popup, but it should also be emphasized some way within the chat. The latter is the part that provides that extra signal to the brain of either "you've saved this word in the past, so nice job remembering its meaning this time" or "you've saved this word in the past and still had no idea what it meant this time, so maybe you should do some focused practice with it". If I add multiple definitions to a word, they should be added to a single vocabulary entry. In my example above, I would expect a single entry for this word with 4 definitions. I would understand the duplication if this were a word that had been saved with different conjugations or declensions, but this was a basic standalone adjective with the exact same spelling. I think that the worst offender in this case was when I added multiple meanings for a word within the same popup and it resulted in separate entries for each of those meanings.

I find it helps to remember the gender if you say a noun with la or el before it.

so we can read news and check vocabularies While reading newspaper, There are too many unknown words if we have newspaper and click translate tool it would be so good

Short and sweet. I want a pro family plan or a couples plan for me and my wife under one bill.

At the very least a copy of the complete bubble should be available as a button or upon long-pressing on the bubble. Even more useful would be the ability to freely select the text to copy.

Could you add a phonetic transcription next to every word? I must check it in other dictionaries which I find time consuming. Thank you.

I often want to replay just a portion of a conversation, but there's no way to do this, you must finish out the conversation and then start from the top. You can select a phrase and have that read, but it would be easier to be able to click a location in the text area and start from there.

It would be great if we didn't have to replay the entire response from the chat AI bot and could instead, say, start the replay on the second or third sentence of the response when we want. Sometimes I only want to replay one small part of the chat bot's response and I have to listen through the whole thing again to get to that one part.
