Here’s a statistic that will stay with you – around 75% of all English speakers worldwide are speaking it as a second language. In other words, that’s around 1.5 billion people that are learning English. Why? Business opportunities; media accessibility; a linguistic global passport – the list goes on.It doesn’t make sense, therefore, that in a technologically-advanced world, learners are confined to the classroom, colorful learning apps, dictionaries and repetition. Indeed, it’s no wonder that despite the desire to learn, students of English are finding it hard to push themselves into what seems like a mammoth task.
Imagine a service that could offer real-life rewards for progress in English language learning – one that offers a gamified experience with economic incentives, one that rewards the cultivation of constructive habits such as consistency and intensity, and one that can appeal to students of all ages.
Such a service would revolutionize not only the way we learn languages in an increasingly globalized environment, but how motivated we are to do so.
That’s where LetMeSpeak comes in.
What Is LetMeSpeak? An Innovative English-Learning Web Service and Mobile App
Over the decades, the English language learning industry has seen little change. Even the technological breakthrough that disrupted other industries has only slightly changed the approach to teaching foreign languages. Meanwhile, the game mechanics could greatly increase the motivation of students in learning a new language.
The first steps in this direction have already been taken. For example, DuoLingo, a language learning app with game mechanics, achieved more than 500 million downloads in 2020 and regularly tops the Apple App Store as a popular download. However, there are still some shortfalls in motivation. Indeed, studies have estimated that course completion rates fall as low as 0.01%. This supports our earlier claim – people want to study English, but don’t have sufficient levels of motivation.
LetMeSpeak builds upon these shortfalls, and offers users cryptocurrency rewards for learning achievements. It changes the way people approach the learning process and offers real economic incentives, in addition to a fun, social environment that catalyzes the effectiveness of language retention.
How To Use LetMeSpeak To Earn and Learn
LetMeSpeak is a mobile gamified NFT-based app and web service for learning English. LetMeSpeak does not pretend that you can learn a language without practice and effort. But it changes our attitude towards these efforts, making them fun, entertaining and profitable. If there is interest, there will always be progress.
LetMeSpeak’s unique Learn-To-Earn program stimulates language learning with income-earning incentives. In order to unlock the earn-and-learn potential, players are allowed to attain an NFT character from the in-game marketplace. For those who’d like to see first what’s inside the box there’s a 3-day free trial access.
The app runs language assessment tests following a quick and easy registration process. A questionnaire asks if the purpose of learning is for work, travel, or personal needs and what topics of discussion the user finds interesting. The experience is similar to sitting down with a foreign language coach for fully personalized service.
Learning takes place in an RPG (Role-Playing Game) format, where users can complete tasks and quests upgrading their language knowledge. By following along with in-game scenarios like a friendly exchange between neighbors or boarding a bus, the user learns fundamental to advanced vocabulary words, training them to listen, read, write, and speak more clearly.
LetMeSpeak has a broad coverage of colloquial and academic vocabulary for a variety of scenarios, from US university admissions and NYT business and technology news to heated social media debates. Sometimes, even masters of the English language fail to deftly respond to aggression on social networks, leaving the opponent on top with just a couple of words. LetMeSpeak explores such scenarios in great depth.
New word training takes place with helpful images, and simple swipes left and right. At the same time, the app uses voice recognition to check the correct pronunciation of each word. It’s a great pastime to expand vocabulary and practice grammar and speaking skills.
The model ‘earning while learning’ is a key incentive providing the necessary motivation for bolstering usage and engagement. There is also an alternative way to join the race of earning while learning without any initial purchases. This opportunity is provided via Scholarships. A player with at least 10 gained stars can borrow an NFT character from another player in exchange for a portion of his reward. Avatar holders can set the percentage of the rewards they are ready to give to the scholar, and scholars have the right to agree or look for more profitable options. Thus, NFT Character owners receive a new way to earn passive income on their existing assets.
For students who are seeking for more rivalry, there’s a PvP game where users compete against each other across a range of disciplines, the most prominent of which is ‘Grammar’. The concept is based on the idea that excitement stimulates the production of the hormone of pleasure, dopamine, thereby encouraging individuals to continue participating in the game. Contests unite users from different parts of the world: a resident of Brazil converges in a duel with a resident of the suburbs of Marseille. Two to four players can participate in the game simultaneously.
The game is designed like a moped race, but instead of fuel, motorbikes consume correctly completed grammatical exercises. The vast field of English grammatical knowledge is taken into consideration, allowing users to select topics they feel confident in before entering the game. To spice up the game and make it hotter, players need to place bets. Of course, the winner takes it all, adding an extra layer of excitement to the game.
A nearly infinite value is possible through unlocking the English language learning potential in a fun and digestible format. Users gain new practical skills and speaking abilities while generating rewards in native LSTAR tokens for the time invested in the platform. Rewards can be later converted into USDC via in-game Swap or at an external exchange.
Learn and Earn More With LetMeSpeak
LetMeSpeak isn’t just another way that users can earn on the blockchain – it symbolizes a shift from traditional, ineffective blackboard learning, to modern, digitalised and fun ways of information sharing and retention, wrapped up in a shimmery web3 coat.
The game is suitable for all ages, making learning for adults, children, and teens more accessible and a lot less boring. This is a real lifesaver for those who find it challenging to engage in a routine of language learning.
For our kids, nothing motivates better than seeing your studying efforts pay off in real-time. For us adults, isn’t it great sipping a cup of coffee paid for with coins earned through your own language learning efforts?
On a greater scale, services such as LetMeSpeak are spearheading a revolution that sees relevance and fun fed back into education – be it in the developed or developing worlds.
The LetMeSpeak Learn-To-Earn app is available as a free download from the Apple App Store for iOS and the Google Play Store for Android devices. A web-based version is also available through any compatible web browser via desktop or mobile.
