Our Users are busy professionals that work long hours and struggle to allocate time for their language studies. They need a system to motivate themselves to learn new Vocabulary, easily and efficiently in their free time. They want to be able to communicate quickly when in professional and social conversations.
We believe that by creating a visually interesting Vocabulary app that allows our users to customise it to their needs, by including quick voice translations, a system to save, organise and sort their work/personal words and phrases and real-time conversations will help and motivate them to achieve their language learning goals.
Looking to understand my potential Users I have conducted three Interviews.
