For researchers & students

Write your thesis.
Improve a language.

Are you a university student writing a thesis or dissertation on how people learn languages? Collaborate with Frayvio — a live, competitive platform with real learners across 42 languages — and help us make one of them better.

Who this is for

Real platform, real learners, real data points.

Whether you’re an undergraduate, a Master’s candidate or a PhD researcher, Frayvio can ground your thesis in a working product that thousands of people use to learn a language. We especially want to hear from students in:

Research directions

Questions worth a thesis.

Here are concrete directions we’d love to support — and we especially want help improving the course content for any of the 12 languages. Bring your own question too.

Gamification & retention

Do streaks, XP and leagues drive long-term vocabulary retention — or just short-term engagement? Frayvio is a natural setting to study it.

Competition vs. solo practice

Compare motivation and outcomes between learners who duel rivals and those who practise alone. The duel loop is the experiment.

Spaced repetition

Investigate how scheduling and review intervals affect recall, using Frayvio's daily-review system as your testbed.

Pronunciation & speech feedback

Study how automated pronunciation scoring shapes a learner's accent and confidence over a course of lessons.

Course quality for a language

Pick a supported language — Turkish, Japanese, Dutch or any of the 12 — and help us improve its pedagogy, content and ordering. This is where we want help most.

AI conversation as a speaking aid

Examine whether speak-aloud AI conversation practice improves speaking fluency compared with text-only drills.

What we offer
