Please pass this feedback to the App engineering team. Please make the App customizable —for example, FIRSTLY, using children’s voices might be fine for teaching children, but is very annoying and sounds very perverted when teaching adults, therefore please allow each user to CHOOSE whether we want adult or children voices teaching us, and whether we want male or female virtual instructors. SECONDLY, allow us to CHOOSE whether we want to stop practicing a lesson, for example, both my Mother and Father are dead, so I am getting very sad when the App talks about them EXCESSIVELY and the App is reminding me how sad it is that i have NO Vater and NO Mutter. In other words, we should be given the option to stop lessons that we will never be able to use. THIRDLY, similarly, How about having the App ask us which subjects and scenarios we wish to focus on, rather than assuming it is Owls, Elephants and Mice—all of which I have NEVER seen in life and thus seems like a waste of time to learn. FOURTHLY, I am an advocate for diversity, but why are only Muslims, Asians and Middle Easterners teaching me German. How about making the teachers look like the historic native speakers of whatever language we want to learn? I think it would also be better immersion experience to have the teacher’s wearing the TRADITIONAL, HISTORIC. CULTURAL clothing of the region and historic context where the language originated. So, if I were studying Mandarin Chinese, then historic and current Chinese clothing and facial features, so I am immersed and better able to learn the history and historic culture from which the language evolved. But having a chinese person in traditional chinese clothing teaching me German does not help me learn about German culture and clothing. Just as it would not be helpful to have a German teaching Chinese.
