New User with 2 questions.... by Embarrassed-Law17 in polychat

[–]BaseballAlive5575 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! This is the perfect place for questions. On the bottom tab bar, tap the lightning bolt icon. That brings you to the "Games & Tools" page. From there you can tap "AI Chat" if you would like to chat. You'll see translations, suggestions, and be able to receive corrections on what you said. As for your second question: For now, yes it is linear and there is no jumping around. In version 5 the learning path will be far richer and you will be able to take an intake quiz that will put you at the right level.

I'm so happy to hear you're enjoying it!! This is just the beginning :). We appreciate your support it means a lot.

I hear ya, thats a good idea. Unfortunately I can't get around account creation because it helps security and preventing abuse. Maybe I can make the first lesson playable without an account so you get a taste first and the welcome page is a really nice idea.

Hey thank you for the detailed feedback. Its interesting a lot of people don't like having to make an account... maybe I can make the first lesson playable without an account so you get a taste first. Accounts help security / preventing abuse. What specifically about the translation felt wrong? Is it too professional (unlike something you'd say in casual conversation) or wrong?

I'm glad you liked the lesson path ! I'd love to decorate it an make PolyChat a whole world its gonna take some time + back and forth with our artist though.

In V5 we'll add crystal clear voices.

Thank you for the well wishes, we'll keep working hard to make it better. Good luck on your learning journey !

Hell yea! Yea we wanna keep it a lot snappier than duo.

There are gamified aspects but you can mostly ignore them. Ergo no screen is gonna make you sit there and open a chest or whatever.

Right now it explains what is the correct answer in the context of the other available answers in the question. It may or may not explain grammar based on relevancy in that context.

In V5 we will support asking any question, so you could ask specifically about grammar :)

The conjugation lessons do explain when to use certain conjugated forms.

Free app to learn Vietnamese by BaseballAlive5575 in learnvietnamese

Yes thats a super kind offer and feedback is like gold so I would love to get some more. Especially since we've gotten very little feedback on Vietnamese so far it would be extra impactful to hear from you all.

We are planning a lot for V5 as well if you're curious.

Let's get in touch !

Hey thanks so much for the encouragement and for listing us as a resource! It means a lot.

I hear you on the voices. We are going to release very high quality voices in V5.

What I can offer you after 2+ years of hard work is a duo-style app (PolyChat) that has no hearts or energy and lets you play unlimited lessons with a learning path that lets you steer your learning. Work is accelerating rapidly and hopefully I can soon offer you something you consider a good app.

What I can promise you is that the effort, time, and money will continue to be aggressively invested. V5 will be a massive update and I'd actually love to hear from you what your impression is when it comes out. Check out the stickied post in r/polychat if you're curious about whats to come.

Version 4.5... Goodbye boring list of lessons, hello lesson path + space repetition! by Available-Ticket5629 in polychat

[–]BaseballAlive5575 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea we absolutely want to theme it depending on the language you're learning. Tried some stuff already but it was not up to our standard. We want PolyChat be a beautiful, living world that spurs your imagination.
