Lingua is a language learning app built to address the shortcomings of the traditional language learning model. Many of the popular applications in language learning follow a model of prompting the user to simply read and translate. Lingua, however, immerses the user in a three dimensional world to leverage the learning advantage gained by conversing with a native speaker, and keeps the learning interesting by implementing a progressive user experience through a quest-reward based system.
