Adding support for asking the community?

[mircealungu]

In an ideal world, one could ask a friend, or ask the community when they're not sure about something.

I.e., in the following exercises, I had typed "a long time". It was considered wrong because the answer seems to be "for a long time".

I still wonder whether "a long time" was actually correct and I should update my translation. Would it be within the scope of zeeguu to ask for feedback from other users? From my teacher if I'm in a class? From a native speaker friend maybe? From a zeeguu-language-volunteer that we would pay in some future?

In this particular case, maybe simply a more precise feedback could do (e.g. you're missing one word). But in general, I have encountered this feeling before, of "i am not convinced of this, i wish i could ask somebody".

Or is it just lazyness? After all I can always start a web investigation about this.

I think community features tend to be a component of learning, but I feel like then it should be a process of figuring out as a whole how make Zeeguu more community driven. I think if it's just a one off discussion on a word, then it might make more sense to just ask in a language forum or in other communities.

A question would be, what would the format be? How do you handle the messages? Would we have a Forum tab or is it more of a little chat? Also, do you have any guarantee that a random user would know the answer?

I think a Teacher would be OK, but I still see it as an interaction of just essentially sending an email with a question to the teacher and we would have to think about the Design / Interaction of what doing it in-app would be different?
