Linguit Vocabulary App
Goal: To design a vocabulary app for a mobile phone screen that would enable people to learn on the go. I wanted to design an app to help users learn vocabulary for a new language.
Problem Statement: How Might We Develop a Vocabulary App that Enables Users to Recall in Context by Taking Control of Their Own Learning Style?
My Role: Study Competition, Conduct User inquiries through Interviews, Create Personas, Map out User Flows, Build Wireframes.
Tools: Figma, Balsamiq, Paper, Lucidchart, Prezi,
Competitive Analysis Highlights:
I drew a comparison between some of the already existing apps such as Quizlet, Magoosh and Dictionary.
User Interviews:
Next, I searched for potential users and interviewed 3 users. Below is an example persona. Based on the data gathered from each user, I listed what each user was thinking, doing & feeling.
User Flows: I created 2 user flows, 1 for creating a new lesson and another one for creating a new flashcard deck.
User Goal: Create New Lesson
Entry Point: Welcome Page

9.Add Verb Tenses to List
10.Create New Lesson from List
*Samples Lesson will Include:

Paper Sketches: I sketched out the first user flow to show how a user at beginner level would navigate through the app ton learn new words or conversations. From my own experience of learning French language through in-person classroom teaching I know that short conversations can really help expedite the learning process as they help you to recall words and phrases in context. I wanted to mirror the same approach in a vocabulary learning app.
