Get this app now

Unfortunately i can’t donate but i wanted to atleast leave a positive review. I LOVE this app. It’s so easy to listen to and teacher is truly amazing. It’s hard to believe that this is all the work of one man. It’s not just about showing you a bunch of words and telling you to remember. It’s teaching you the logic of another language so you can think of words and expand your vocabulary tremendously. If i won the lotto I’d donate a bunch to this guy so he can spread his knowledge far and wide.

Mind blowing language app!

I’ve used different language apps for a few years, just casually learning Spanish. The repetition and memorization would burn me out and make me frustrated that I wasn’t getting it as quickly as I felt I should. One minute into the first LT lesson, I felt like I had learned more than I did in years on my own. I had already recognized that certain words looked very similar to those in English, but this app explained WHY they do, and how to apply it to words I haven’t learned yet. LT gives you the “why” of the language, and really helps your brain make connections between your target language and English, rather than cramming vocabulary to memorize into your head. It’s helped me so much already, and reinvigorated my desire to become fluent in another language.

Just do it

This app is amazing, and major props to the developer of this for doing most of it alone. No one resource will make you fluent, but this is a great intro on how to actually speak. Use as a supplement to listening and reading.

The one thing I love is the very informal explanations of certain grammar points. Most resources seem to measure their worth by trying to sound as academic as possible, but the host makes sense of everything in an easily understandable way. It’s a crime that Language Transfer isn’t more well-known.

This app is phenomenal

I've been in Spanish classes since middle school. I'm in college right now, in a Spanish class, and I am FLOUNDERING. Guess what? this app makes me want to go back and fight every one of my Spanish teachers. They failed to approach the subject like this, and oh dear, what a perfectionist I became! Memorizing and practicing things became my life. I know what the subjunctive is, I can tell you wha the future perfect is, but do I really GET it? NO! I'm just trying to make sure I get the "formula" right! Language learning isn't supposed to be so stiff and exact. So the way that this app teaches Spanish is REVOLUTIONARY and so much more effective than anything I've ever used to teach myself Spanish. THIS is how language learning should be done. Connecting the languages together, starting from the ground up to get one comfortable with the language before explaining the nitty gritty of the language...ah, there's virtually no fear of embarrassment or misconjugation or anything like that! What a literal blessing! I love this SO much! Thank you so, so much!

Unique language learning - uses thinking, not just memorizing

I grew up with some Spanish in the home, but primarily spoke English. I firmly believe that even someone that does not know a word of Spanish can use this program to go from an inability to speak to speaking moderately advanced sentences and phrases. The method builds on what you already know in English to help you learn other languages, “transferring” your knowledge from one language to the other so you don’t have to start from scratch memorizing word by word like other programs do. This idea to me is, quite frankly, revolutionary. On lesson 9/90 in Spanish, I’m looking forward to continuing forward and looking at the other languages in the program (Arabic, Turkish, German, Swahili, French, Italian). There is also a course to learn English from Spanish as well. Although there may be small adjustments that could be made to the app, the value of the program far outweighs this. I’ve already recommended this to many of my friends. To the developer, keep up the great work!

Do yourself a favor, get this app

I just completed the Spanish course and I am blown away by the quality of instruction. Each track is ~10m long so I was always able to squeeze in a quick lesson here and there. The material is fantastic: grammar is explained exquisitely using plain English (no technical linguistic terms) and you get acquainted with Spanish in an active way far beyond passive memorization. In essence, you don’t just learn Spanish... you also learn *how to learn* Spanish in a way that empowers you to improve on your own.

Absolutely the best!!!! Unbelievable!!!

I downloaded this and am on lesson 7 after back to back lessons of Spanish. I can construct sentences without hearing it from someone else first and without Googling it. This guy is just a god send. You need this in your life if learning a new language. I’m running around the house during this lockdown like a crazy woman, beaming with excitement speaking Spanish. Anyway, let me get back to my lesson. Download this app NOW! And it’s amazing that it’s free!!!

Excellent info... ok execution

The info in this app I think is VERY good. The teacher knows the ins and outs of the language extremely well and teaches it in a way that makes a lot of sense and makes it easier to grasp. The app itself I think has some bugs though. I often have to manually mark tracks as complete after listening to them and sometimes after a track it will randomly skip back to the beginning of the first lesson. Can’t really complain since it’s free but the tech aspect of the app seems to be in need of some review. Overall, this has been a blessing though and I would definitely recommend to friends and family!

Best language app where what you’ve learnt sticks!

I’ve been using this app for about a week after it was recommended to me and it’s by far the best app I’ve used for learning Spanish! I’ve learnt a lot more this week compared to the last 3 months I’ve spent learning with other apps and I’m truly amazed! The lesson are very interactive and you learn by intuition and breaking down vocabulary rather than activity memorising vocabulary which isn’t always effective. Having a lot of fun with these lessons and the teaching style and would 100% recommend it .
