Bits & Pretzels – SpeaQ With Me at the Founders Festival in Munich

We are back in the office!

After some days spend networking, pitching our project, getting up really early, listening to inspiring personalities and drinking beer, we are sitting at our desks again, trying to process all these impressions.

But let’s start at the beginning: We started planning to go to Munich for the startup fair Bits & Pretzels at the end of July. Bought the tickets, designed and ordered Flyer and a Roll-up for our booth, applied for the pitch and planned our schedule of speeches and classes.

Last Saturday we went to Munich early in the morning so we would have some time to see Munich before we had to get up real early on Sunday morning. The doors to the ICM (International Congress Center Munich) opened at 8 a.m. for the exhibitors. Before the visitors started pouring in at 9 a.m., we had to prepare our stand which also meant setting up the computers with a local version of  the SpeaQ With Me platform.

What would a language learning platform be without user profiles?

You already read a little bit about how the SpeaQ With Me platform is developing. In this blog post we are going to show you the next part of our language learning platform.

But let’s start slowly. On www.speaqwith.me we are currently building a social network that is designed to help people practice languages. That’s why our slogan is “social language learning for everyone”. The idea is that everyone can register on the platform to find international chat partners to practice foreign languages with.

To do so, every user needs a profile first, and that’s what we are going to show you today.

Like in every social network, the registration process contains some questions about the new user. Name, nationality and a profile picture are standard. On SpeaQ With Me the user also enters which languages he/she speaks and at what level. There will also be a section where you can describe yourself and choose from a selection of interests.
