Understood but do please keep your eye on the job market - it's important that you don't jog along without an thought about your future. I'm sure that I don't need to spell it out!

Don't forget the fashion for work at home these days then you don't need to worry about "entering the workforce makes me ill". Try to learn new skills, online stuff like programming or whatever. Good luck!

Hi Philipp I think that the sooner Univerbal is on the market the better - it's marketable as it is. Just needs finishing touches to the layouts, buttons etc. Leave gamification and even the "progress tracking and tailoring of the curriculum" until you have a viable product and have made your presence known online.

You have a unique product to market i.e. interaction with a tutor, through speaking and having the replies read out loud + it’s available whenever you want, affordable to everyone. All the other language courses do not have this.

As for games, they can be a separate section, just as you already have buttons for Tutor, Translator, Hints etc.

I have contacted you on your website with a question about using Univerbal on a desktop.

Good luck!

Downvotes attract other downvotes - which doesn't say much for the quality of our, much trumpeted, gregariousness. A downvote is when someone doesn't like your opinion but they can't be bothered to discuss the issue. So a downvote is often a sign of disrespect and can be safely ignored.

Surely not everyone here is American - me for instance. If you don't get the nuance right then they can tell you - that way both parties learn something.

The following phrases are contradictory btw, thus:

"I genuinely want an argument to clarify my thoughts"

"HN isn’t the place for arguing- at least not for me"
