So helpful

So helpful, especially utilised alongside lessons, Duolingo, flashcards, whatever else you are using. Really manageable 10 minute episodes so I don’t lose focus. Thank you so much for creating this wonderful resource, and for making it free!

Czech course?

I would love if Czech was added. That’s all love this app and it’s courses!

Phenomenal. Rewarding and fast progress.

I’m currently using language transfer to learn spanish while in Mexico. It’s incredible how quickly I’m able to pick up on what the locals are saying, thanks to the pronunciation guides that language transfer has as part of their process. Highly recommend.

Amazing

It’s actually class, wish there was even more for French. I literally never write reviews so it shows how blown away I am to be honest. Everything is broken down and explained perfectly, and the teacher guy goes back to things you learned 2/3/4 lessons ago to keep it fresh in your mind. It takes the emphasis away from memorisation like most schools and apps etc do and instead tries to make you actually understand the language and the roots of things. Find it weirdly calming as well when I’m learning. Love it! 🤩

Mindblowing breakthrough experience

In 30 minutes (4 lessons) with LT, I have learned FAR more Greek than in the past 8 months (hundreds of lessons) with every other language app combined (not to mention numerous other modes of study, including travel in Greece)—no kidding, and no exaggeration. And it’s 100% free. Instead of endless memorization exercises that leverage the dopamine reward system, LT breaks down the language into usable parts and reveals to the learner the necessary cognitive tools that we all already have for using those parts effectively and in endless ways—the feeling of liberation is incredible—for the first time in Greek, my brain and my tongue are actually working together. It is unreal. And it’s all so simple—it’s barely even an app in the usual sense… anyone who is really ready to stop dithering and just learn a language should try this immediately. And someone notify the Nobel Peace Prize folks, because the creator of LT deserves one. This is transformational. I’m excited to learn all the other languages, too—Arabic, Swahili, Turkish, awesome—all of them.

Absolutely brilliant

Such a unique and fascinating way of learning a new language. Doing the Greek Course - The lessons feel like an amazing book that you cannot stop reading… the information keeps building up so naturally and you find yourself creating sentences that you would have never thought you could in such a short time. Absolutely amazing. Thank you!

Spanish

This is a great free podcast app for Spanish learning - but I feel it would greatly benefit from being able to change the speed you can listen to the podcast at, or maybe subtitles could be synced to the audio.
Thanks for this great app 😊👍

So far this is brilliant!

Mihalis has constructed an amazing learning course here. I’ve been learning Spanish on and off over the years. Mainly via textbooks and once from a Linguaphone Course years ago. This has changed my way of thinking completely. I’ve not been making any notes, as Mihalis suggests at the very beginning, which seemed a little weird at first as I thought I’d ‘forget’ the lessons and techniques, but in fact not making notes and ‘working from scratch’ is the whole point of this way of learning! It’s about assimilating and constructing (and therefore understanding) the language as you go. So far this is brilliant. I’m up to lesson 33 and I’m really enjoying it. Thank you for this app! 👏🏼

Completely shifted my understanding of German

I have been studying german on and off for a few years now, I have taken classes, online classes, speaking classes, and I have even analyzed many of the consonant and vowel shifts myself (as I have a passive interest in language evolution).
I have never ever been able to fully conceptualize the dativ and akkusativ forms until this app. The notoriously difficult german grammar becomes easy when you follow the building blocks presented in this course.
What makes this course different is that Mihalis highlights the architecture of the language, starting from the foundation and building upon it. He has his students constructing full sentences in a foreign language in less than 30 minutes. There is no one else who works this fast or thoroughly. Bravo, Mihalis, you have helped so many people and your work deserves widespread recognition. I share this app with everyone I know who is learning a language.

Wanted to like it more

I’m Hispanic so I’m not new to Spanish but I’m far from fluent. I thought to try this app as I wanted a break from my Spanish learning workbook. My issue with this apps method is you have to think in English and then translate to Spanish. And good luck at that if you aren’t a great speller. This method works great on paper but I don’t want to think in both languages. People say memorization isn’t good but I find it works with me but my background makes it easier than most. I might continue using the app because maybe he’ll go over grammar rules in an easy to understand way but as the app is called, his focus is transferring the English language or rather translating it into Spanish. It is indeed very helpful and I’ll definitely note down these transfer rules to use later. I strongly believe grammar should be taught before vocabulary but as long and he reaches that part then this app will still be useful for me.
