Good, but needs to follow standard Albanian
Good app, kind of like Duolingo so all good. As others have said, you cannot be a total newb to Albanian if you want to use this app. My main concern is that standard Albanian spelling/pronunciation. Every city in Albania has their own dialect of course so by picking one you are omitting the rest. I found a lot of spelling problems too which for a new learner they will confuse them.

Not for complete beginners
This app is suitable for those with a little knowledge of the Albanian language but too advance for those who are complete beginners. It jumps right into words and phrases without teaching you anything like other language apps do.
Doesn’t really teach
The gamified interface would be effective if I weren’t merely guessing answers at random. There is no instruction before beginning each lesson, so unless you already have a basic grasp of Albanian, you’re not going to learn anything from this app.
On the listening questions, it never tells you what sentence you just managed to construct. There are almost no translations or even pictures to help you learn the meaning of the words you’re trying to memorize.
Particularly in a language which is so unique, basic explanations of grammar and pronunciation would be useful, as would a vocabulary list for each lesson so that we know what we’re repeating back.
The good news is that this UI works well, so there’s a decent app skeleton here if the developer were to add some basic language instruction to it.

Great but need more of a challenge
It can help lay the foundations to fully learn the language but needs more to learn and a increased difficulty as well as not being generous with how many mistakes your able to make to force you to repeat and have it stick in your head, but over very educational.
Garbage
Not helpful for someone who doesn’t know the language which is the whole point of the app in the first place.
Great app
I’m half Albanian and this has really helped me learn and communicate with my family. I really recommend it if you want to speak the language!
Great app!
Half my family is Albanian and every time they want to hide something they speak Albanian. So that’s why I want to learn😂. This app is great it helps me learn quickly and my mom was very impressed when she saw me take the quizzes one by one. If you want to learn Albanian download this app you won’t regret it.👍🏼🤩😜

Easy to use and Learn!
My kids are Albanian and I want them to learn how to read and write. Love this! Simple user interface. I’m using it for myself as well! Thank you so much for creating an app like this!
Great!
I am a first generation teenager who never really got to learn the language in depth. Both my parents immigrated from Kosovo and to sight is the basics. My mom sent me the link to this app and I did 24 lessons in just one day. It is fun that I can learn my language and communicate with my family. But, the problem is that sometimes I would get the answer right but it would say it’s wrong but that’s not that big of a deal. I would prefer more lessons( like ones that help you have conversations to you family that doesn’t speak English) and that the lessons should progressively get harder. I hope the new update will have some of my suggestions. Thank you! Happy soon to be Easter.

Trouble with app
I don’t hear any voice pronouncing the words. I went to the settings button and turned sound on but then there was just a noise after i answered questions, there was still no voice saying the words...
Response from developer
Thanks for downloading the app! Did you make sure the Ring/Silent switch is on? If that's the case and you still don't hear the voice, please email us at developer@edualb.com and we'll specifically work with you to see what is the issue. Thanks a lot again!
