thanks so much to everyone who replied! i’ve attached a little update to the bottom of the original message. i genuinely cannot express my gratitude enough. you’re all wonderful 🩷
👋 hi language learner! yes, you! have a favor to ask of you :)
for my graduation, i’m researching ways that technology can enhance the language learning process through visual media (series, movies, but also news etc.). for this, i need to speak to learners (of any language, genuinely, no matter your rate of fluency or how long you’ve been studying for) to interview and possibly test my prototype a few times through a link i’ll share with you. it’s also perfectly okay if you haven’t had experience with tools that help you learn through shows and such, but instead have worked with other things such as duolingo.
anything we discuss can be entirely anonymous and can be done via chat here or discord or whatever you prefer, that’s up for discussion. i don’t need to record your voice, provide your real name or show your face, so typing is also fine.
i’d love to hear your input on your wishes for language learning programs and your experiences if you have any so i can design something we may be able to use in the future to learn, that’s hopefully an improvement upon currently existing methods.
as i’ve mentioned, the language you learn is unimportant to me as any feedback is great feedback; but as i need to pick a language to prototype with to keep the scope of my project doable for the period of my graduation (even though i’d *love* to do it for all languages right off the bat ☹️), korean and arabic learners are somewhat preferable as these are languages that i’m familiar with. please don’t let yourself be deterred by this if you’re learning any other language though!
on top of that; i’ll be taking accessibility into account, so if you’re able to give me input on that front, i’d be eternally thankful as well.
if you wanna help me out (thank you so much), please react with a ❤️ to this post or shoot me a message and i’ll get back to you soon. if not, i’d appreciate if you would spread around the message by reposting.
thank you for your attention!
UPDATE: oh my god, this got so much attention 🥺 thank you to those who shared and those who want to help me with this, it means the world. i will be reaching out in the near future :) if anyone else wants to join still feel free to react.
so who's going to make this game
honestly I hate “can you pet the dog?!?” not for any of the common reasons but because it was initially interesting as a proposition of “can you interact with the world in a way that is not within the primary mechanical loop” and that very quickly fell away to being “well now any indie developer making a game has to have a pet the dog button or they’re going to get letters”

안녕하세요 :) 잘 잤어요?
내 한국어 학습 여행의 시작부터 가끔 이 캡처 속의 이야기 한 편을 열심히 읽으려고 노력했어요. 오늘까지 읽을 수 없었어요..!!
작은 승리일 수도 있는데, 정말로 행복해용~ 내 한국어 실력이 성장하는 걸 볼 수 있어요.
좋은 하루 보내세용~ ♡

여러분 ㅜㅜ 머리가 아파요…
오늘은 쉴 것 같아요 ㅜㅜ 솔직히 전 어쨌든 휴식이 필요했어요.
아무튼, 이건 오늘의 기분에 맞는 노래예요 ㅎㅎㅎ
*side note: i debated saying 아무튼, 여기 오늘의 기분에 맞는 노래 있어요~" to emphasise ‘/here is/ a fitting song for today’s feeling’ but idk if that’s very natural to say in korean…? if anyone knows and feels like sharing i’d be thankful~ :)
idk why people photoshopped the crying cat meme on this pic when the unedited version is so powerful
