ReanKhmer is an AI-assisted language learning platform designed to help heritage Khmer speakers build confidence in real-life conversations. Through user research, information architecture, and usability testing, I explored how human-centered design can guide AI-generated experiences to better support language learning, cultural connection, and authentic communication.

Many second-generation Khmer speakers struggle to communicate confidently with family members despite understanding parts of the language.
Existing language-learning platforms focus heavily on vocabulary and grammar but often fail to support real-world communication and cultural context.

Learners want to communicate, not memorize
Users were motivated by conversations with family and friends rather than language Mastery.
Confidence is a bigger barrier than knowledge
Many learners understood vocabulary But hesitated to speak due to pronunciation concerns.
Language and culture are deeply connected
Users wanted context, stories, and cultural understanding, Not just translations.

Key Findings
Users struggled to locate AI-powered features.
Voice recording interactions lacked clear feedback.
Dense content made lesson progression difficult to understand.
Navigation inconsistencies interrupted the learning experience.
The interface looked complete visually, but usability testing uncovered interaction challenges that AI alone did not address.

What I Learned
What I Learned
This project taught me that AI can accelerate exploration and content generation but often results in inconsistency across screens. However, meaningful learning experiences still depend on research, cultural context, and human-centered design. The most valuable contribution was not designing individual screens; it was shaping the learning experience behind them.
