Immersion Feed
The Immersion Feed is designed to give users a real-world experience in their target language by curating content from social media, news articles, and blogs. It’s like having a mini social media feed, but everything is in the language you’re learning! The content spans different themes—news, culture, lifestyle, memes, and more—helping users build language skills in a fun, relevant context.
Key Features
- Level-Based Content Curation: Adjusts content difficulty based on the user’s language level, so beginners might see simple posts or news snippets, while advanced learners get more complex articles or opinion pieces
- Interactive Tools: Users can click on words for translations, save phrases for later review, and even see example sentences for tricky idioms
- Engagement Features: Allows users to like, comment, and even reply to real posts with guidance, making interactions natural but supported
- Daily Highlights: Presents trending articles or posts so users can stay up-to-date with current events in their target language
Example Interaction
User Level: Intermediate
Target Language: French
Daily Highlights
- Trending Article: “Les jeunes et la technologie : comment les smartphones changent notre société”
(Young people and technology: how smartphones are changing our society)
The user can read the article, and if they hover over phrases like “changent notre société,” a pop-up appears with the English translation: change our society.
Social Media Post
Instagram Post from a French influencer:
“Ce week-end, j’ai visité le marché de Noël à Strasbourg. Magnifique !”
(This weekend, I visited the Christmas market in Strasbourg. Beautiful!)
User Actions:
- Translation: User clicks “marché de Noël” to get the translation Christmas market.
- Comment Prompt: The app suggests phrases for user response, like “Ça a l’air génial !” (That sounds great!) or lets the user try their own.
Interactive Exercises
For more practice, users can answer quick questions about the content:
- What city did the influencer visit? (Strasbourg)
- What event did they attend? (Christmas market)
By engaging with real-world content, the Immersion Feed helps learners not just understand the language but also engage with it like a native speaker, making language learning more immersive and intuitive.
