Idea
​
This concept was born on my personal experience & close group of friends, which like me are foreigners in a new land :) Settling in new places is not always easy. In one hand it's exciting and interesting, but on another hand, it cost a lot of social chaos. As a working person, I know how hard is to find a time and self-motivation to progress every day. This reason pushed me to the idea of creating an object who could help to solve this problem.
Problem
I noticed that the most crucial moment when we started to feel demotivated and losing the faith is right after achieving a communication base. This is the point when we build enough courage for public decisions. At this moment is one of the most important to be tracked in order to progress. Problem is that we usually have no idea where we doing mistakes. After seeing bizarre faces of our friends, or beeing many times misunderstood, this is a moment when we are starting losing our self-motivation.
Conclusion
​
The demotivating stage- it's coming from unsatisfaction of not enough quick progression ( which is the turning point)
​
Unsatisfaction | Lack of confidence | Angriness
=
causes us to feel more discouraged to learn the language
Solution
What if we would have an easy access to our mistakes
and know where we are doing them?
​
and it would be written and recorded so we could repeat and listen?
