The problem
Albanians who want to learn a new language on their own, struggle every day at finding an app that offers language learning courses in their native language. They have to know at least one other foreign language, to use as a buffer. That complicates the language-learning process for these users and they try to find other solutions elsewhere.
Problem statement: Albanian and other nationalities language learners who are struggling to find language learning courses in their own native language need a way to learn a new language at their own pace without the need to use another foreign language as a buffer.

Lessons and Reflections
- So what now? Is the app done?
- No. More testing is in order.
What I realized during the process of designing this app was that research and testing are the main bricks of the entire wall that is the designing process. If you perform Competitive Analysis first and then User Research and every step of the way you test your design with real users, you have given a strong foundation to your product and you have designed an app that will serve your users. Because as Don Norman himself writes in his book Living With Complexity: "We must design for the way people behave, not for how we would wish them to behave".
