Our client shared with us the idea that he wanted to implement for a long time: to create a language learning app that will connect people from around the world either to learn a new language or find a partner for life. Such a tandem learning app should allow users to chat and have a call to exchange experiences and educate each other. Also, the client specified that like in other language learning apps, it’s required to have an option for users to set their own goals for a week to track progress.

Our client shared with us the idea that he wanted to implement for a long time: to create a language learning app that will connect people from around the world either to learn a new language or find a partner for life. Such a tandem learning app should allow users to chat and have a call to exchange experiences and educate each other. Also, the client specified that like in other language learning apps, it’s required to have an option for users to set their own goals for a week to track progress.
Business Challenge
Unlike the other language learning apps, this also needs to be a dating app and comply with all the rules on that front, due to the strict limitations and rules for those kinds of apps. Learning app development should also include the possibility of adding paid features, like enhanced search and additional features, and also ensure that iOS guidelines are followed as well. And of the requested features was the ability to search for new partners in this EdTech app. This will require the use of GPS modules.
Solution
This service allows users to learn new languages and talk with other people via video and audio calls and chat. The users can choose the language they want to learn, choose the number of hours to learn per week, and then they can find a partner to train with. The software developer has solved the tasks regarding the connection of video and audio calls using Twilio and ensuring the secure and stable work of the calls. The search for new contacts also is a big part of the project, so the developer dedicated a lot of time to proper GPS integration. It was implemented easily to use the search of the new contacts looking for a study partner and a companion. The app tracks the time spent in chats with native speakers allows set new goals and stimulates achieving new goals in studying. The application also has different plans (free or paid plans) and allows users more features like enhanced search and more chat features.
