At Culture Shock, we're committed to breaking down language barriers globally. Today, we're thrilled to announce significant updates to our platform and the expansion of our beta testing program.

Welcoming New Beta Testers

We're excited to welcome non-English iOS users to our third wave of beta testing. This expansion marks a crucial step in our mission to create a truly global language learning experience. Your diverse perspectives and feedback will be invaluable in refining our app for users worldwide.

New Features

Our development team has been hard at work implementing feedback from the first two waves of beta testing. We're proud to introduce the following major updates:

1. Multilingual Interface: The entire user interface is now localizable in 32 languages, making navigation seamless for users around the globe.

2. Cross-Language Learning: Users can now learn a new language using their native tongue as the base language, even if it's not English. This feature significantly expands accessibility for non-English speakers.

3. Expanded Content: We've added a wealth of new content, including news articles, practice sessions, and study materials in various language combinations.

4. Enhanced Chatbot: Our AI-powered chatbot now offers improved typing and speaking modes in multiple languages, providing a more natural and effective learning experience.

Beta Testing Requirements

To ensure these new features work flawlessly across different languages and devices, we're asking our beta testers to focus on the following areas:

1. Navigate the app in your preferred language and report any inconsistencies or errors in translation.

2. Test the cross-language learning feature by selecting a new language to learn from your native language.

3. Access and interact with content in various language combinations, noting any issues with accessibility or functionality.

4. Thoroughly test the chatbot in both typing and speaking modes with different languages.

5. Pay close attention to app responsiveness and report any crashes, especially when switching between languages.

When reporting issues, please include your device model and iOS version. Detailed feedback is crucial in helping us deliver a seamless language learning experience for users worldwide.

Coming Soon: Community Features

We're excited to offer a sneak peek at an upcoming feature that will revolutionize how users learn and share knowledge on Culture Shock. In the near future, users will be able to:

• Share your own courses with friends

• Publish your courses to a new dedicated community page

Imagine preparing for a trip with friends and family. Soon, you'll be able to share your favorite resources and study together via the app, ensuring everyone is well-prepared for your adventure!

Emphasizing Inclusive Learning

We want to reiterate that with Culture Shock, users can study any language from their native tongue. There's no need to know English to start your language learning journey. We're committed to making language learning accessible to everyone, regardless of their linguistic background.

Join Us in Shaping the Future of Language Learning

Your participation in our beta testing program is invaluable. Together, we're not just improving an app; we're creating a platform that connects people across languages and cultures.
