a picture of a baseball cap with 3 lines of English and 2 lines of Chinese/Kanji. The english reads: "Hello, I am fleeing the American century of humiliation. Can you show me where to watch gay hockey TV shows?"
screenshot showing "Display preferences" with an option for dyslexia-friendly fonts (they use visual cues to help the brain orient letters so they don't accidentally get flipped or switched, which causes some of the reading challenges that make up what we call "Dyslexia")
the meme "do you guys wanna see a dead body" but the second half has been replaced with "learn a language" four young boys in a group, one holding a football, one wearing an Oakland Raiders cap, looking down and to the left, one covering his face in disgust, one looking sort of "skeptical/unsure" and the other two just blankly staring.
A screenshot of the app showing title bar "Playlist of Kannada Flashcards" and a main content section showing the author is our sample user "GarlicFace", and a title "KG Podcast on 'Counting' from June 2021". Description says: "A podcast episode from 'Kannada Gothilla' on counting, detailing the basic digits, the counting system for 10s and 100s, and giving examples of common phrases where you'd use numbers in daily life." A heart icon showing 0 likes. An external link icon "Source link" (links to the podcast episode). Then a separator and "12 flashcards in this playlist" and a button "Add all to deck". And then shows a list of flashcards, with number 1 saying "Vandu tea kudhi" "give one tea". Number 2 days "Nanu eradu dose tinde" "I had two dosas", and the rest is out of view off the screen.
A comments thread showing someone requesting a flashcard for how to hail a cab in Igbo. One person replies with a flashcard that means "please take me home" and another person replies to that comment saying "the question was more about hailing the cab, so instead I would say this" and links to another flashcard that has a more apt meaning. Each comment has space for upvotes and replies, flashcards have littke "heart" icons so you can follow them, etc.
a screenshot that looks like a sort of "comments thread" where the top-level post is a request for how to say something in Tamil. There are buttons like "repost" "upvote" "comment", and then there is a comments thread with people replying with some test and sometimes with a flashcard that has a Tamil phrase and some translations, which you can "like" (to add the card to your library).
A screenshot/mockup of an interface "My learning goals" showing the top half of a screen. description: "Manage and customise you language learning objectives. Add promps, select languages, and tag your motivation." then there are three items, the top two are green-background and the third is grayed out. the first one has title "Moving to South India", and italicized content "Learn how to get around, otder food, book travel, ask about products and prices, ask for help, etc." then it says "in languages" and has four little badges, "Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam". In the upper right of the box (and the other green box) are icons to move the item up or down in the list, a Pin to "pin" this item, a pencil icon to edit, and a power switch to enable/disable. The second green item has a number "2" on the side and says title "Family Languages" and contents: "Become pretty fluent to converse with family, friends, understand cultural references and idioms" and then finally "In (2) languages" with badges for "Marathi, Konkani". The third item is grayed out a bit; there aren't as many button in the top-right. The content says title "Just for fun" and text "Learn to count to 10 and say please/thankyou type basics in the world's most commonly spoken languages." And then below it says "in (13) languages" with badges for: "Arabic, French, Mandarin, Russian, Japanese, Portuguesse, Spanish, Zulu, Hindi, Bengali, Farsi, Swahili, Tamil". This one has a little white alert that has the power symbol and says "Disabled: New cards will not be added from this goal". Then it's a little truncated so you can't see if there's more on the page except the title and this list of three items.

user "biggest-gaudiest-patronuses" posts: "what if someone else does it better later?" Good! Technically the Wright brothers built the worst airplanes in the world. If you do it first, you do it worst, and history will thank you for it.

Screenshot of the opened sidebar in the sunlo app -- at the top there's a dropdown menu that says "Choose a deck" and below there's a nav menu with sections called "Learning center" and "Friends & contacts". One of the links says "Start a new language" (instead of "start a new deck" which is the microcopy question being asked about here!)
