## App contents

The app has three tabs: "*LEARN*", "*REVIEW*" and "*ME*".

### Learn

This tab allows you to see your course of the chosen language and your progress. You can choose your desired language from this tab as well as to see News Feed by clicking a bell on the top-right corner of the screen.

Each unit provides you with a number of language skills. Each skill has 2 to 3 Lessons, Learning Tips, Story-Reading and Story-Speaking, with lessons being mandatory to continue. You can *test out* by taking a small test, consisting of all the skills the unit teaches you. Finishing the course awards you with a medal, that can be later viewed in your "*ME*" tab.

### Review

This tab allows you repeat the words and prases you learned. It has options of: "5-min Quiz", "Vocabulary", "Grammar" and "Knowledge Cards". Each of the options shows you the amount of words/vocabulary/grammar rules you know.

### Me

This tab allows you to see your profile with stats. It allows you to set your profile picture, your name as well as see your stats. Premium users get to have a crown on their profile picture. On the right your amount of XP and your level can be seen.

"Statistics" shows you your words & sentences count with a small icon of the language you are learning, your day streak, your daily xp and your weekly rank. Each of them can be expanded to see details.

"Achievements" allows you to track your medal progress. The upper one shows you your 'day streak' medal progress, the lowest medal-awarding being 3 days and the max being 360 days. The lower one shows you your 'XP levels' medal progress. there's also 'languages' medals, which can be earned by finishing the full course of the language the medal is associated with. Also, it awards you a medal for finishing your first lesson.

The bottom shows you the options for "Language Learning", "Settings", "Backup & Download", "Help Center", "Contact Us" and "About Lingodeer".

Clicking on your profile picture allows you to see your profile picture, your name, your premium status, your log-in method as well as your Email and your "level". The progress bar allows you to see how long until you reach the next 10 levels. The xp can be earned by learning language. The first level requires 100 xp, the max level is 100 and it requires 55000 xp.

* Lindie Botes, "LingoDeer tour and review." Key points include: easy-to-use interface, character-writing and stroke orders shown, with clear pronunciation.

* I enjoy using the app to learn Mandarin because the stroke order is a very difficult concept for me to grasp, and it really breaks it down step-by-step. It is a very 'cute' app in the idea that it looks attractive enough to use unlike a lot of other more traditional apps. It also lets you switch between languages, which I thought worked well.
