Users are able to access their language learning profile, view their past completed work, and receive a new randomized challenge within the application.
When a user begins a new challenge, they are provided an image, a verb, and 2 grammar points. The application prompts the user to complete 2 written sentences based on the provided parameters and submit their work to receive feedback.
