A Beautiful method for learning a language
In my opinion, which is backed up by a lot of fact, the natural method for learning a language is the best way of learning a language. I have not used this app for a long time but it already seems like the best app for learning a language. Kind of like an audio version of lingua latina per se illustrata if you know that great book. I would suggest finding a natural method book and using that to learn reading and writing in your target language and use this app to learn listening and speaking. I am for instance using l’italiano secondo il metedo natural as my natural method book (all italian) and using this for my audio course as well as films, music etc. make sure to include media in your target language. After I am done with the Italian course I plan to donate to this apps developer. I know they have a patreon, but I don’t know if you can donate one time with that. If the developer reads this I would prefer a way to donate say $10 or $20 one time rather than doing a $1 a month patreon subscription. Makes it easier ig, but patreon is fine.

The absolute best language comprehension app
The way they teach you how to think about language in their courses is completely different than anything I have experienced. They make a point to tell you not to focus on memorizing words and instead to focus on building your new languages off of the roots of your native one. It is the most efficient solution I have found for improving my Spanish and I don’t have to memorize every word. I can take my knowledge of Latin as a native English speaker and convert a Latin word to Spanish to finish a sentence and in most scenarios be correct. If you are learning a language any other way you are wasting your time.

Best Language Learning App I have ever used!!
I have used dozens of apps while learning languages, and NONE of them have given me such a deep understanding of a language. I don’t usually write reviews but i’m honestly shocked by 1. how good this app is and 2. that it was free. I was expecting in-app purchases to sneak up on me, or for it to have things locked... but no. It’s all completely free. The way it teaches aims to give you a deep understanding of how the language works, and how to think in that language. I have taken Spanish for 6 years in school, and I can confidently and 100% say that after listening to this lesson my Spanish improved more than over any whole YEAR of taking Spanish classes. I am in advanced classes in Spanish, and this app helped me understand Spanish better and more in depth then any of my teachers. I have such a better and clearer understanding my Spanish now, and the methods used helped me understand how to learn other languages better in the future. I’m so grateful that I found this app, it has made such a difference in my speaking and comprehension skills.

Best Course
I have completed the Spanish language course from audios on website and it is fantastic. The method is simple and easy to follow. My understanding of the language grew multiple with Mihalis’s method. I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to learn a new language with ease.
Yes, it really does work!!!
Have been a supporter of Language Transfer for the past few years now. It is hands down the most intuitive and effective software I have EVER used to learn a language. It teaches you true conjugation and tenses. It has you speak in realistic sentences. It’s just brilliant. I ACTUALLY learned Spanish with this!
However, I’d love the chance to adjust the playback speed. I tend to listen to courses at 1.5 times speed or maybe even 2x speed but that’s a personal preference of course.

Really useful explanations
Although I read French and German at level C1, I found these audio classes so valuable because of the explanations about how words are formed. Plus it is hard to speak fluently until phrases are stored automatically in your brain, which this app contributes to. Highly recommended !
Amazing and practical teaching style!
I never write reviews for apps but I am 2/3 of my way through Complete Spanish and Mihalis is just a wonderful teacher. The lessons make you think about the formation of these sentences and your teaching continues to be reinforced through sentence building.
There is a great sense of friendliness and patience with Mihalis’ style and it is so accessible. I hated learning Spanish in high school but after going to college and immersing myself in the culture though friends and being with someone from Latin America, I wanted to learn. After graduating college, I tried to find the resources that would get me speaking quickly and stumbled upon these lessons on a Reddit post.
Now I’m able to go on walks and just play the lessons and really learn. I see that on my day-to-day, I’m starting to think in Spanish and apply a lot of my lessons, both culturally and linguistically to my daily life. It’s so incredible and this is one thing that has my full support.
If you like this, please spread the word and donate. I only say this because it truly is an incredible resource that is actually free! There’s nothing more beautiful than sharing cultures and languages in my eyes as it brings the world closer together. Mihalis has a hand in this and you will make yourself proud when you start speaking the language you’ve desired to learn.

Finally, Language Transfer is portable!
I started the complete spanish program on youtube, but it was such a pain to keep my phone locked on the youtube page in order to listen. I couldn’t download and listen on commutes or walks outdoors or anything. This app solves that issue though. You can download each episode to listen offline, listen in the background while you use other apps, and listen with your phone locked. It’s also easy to mark episodes complete to keep track of which one you’re on. So happy they created this app, it makes the program so much more accessible!

Truly Incredible - the best language podcast
I have listened to the Spanish, and am now learning the Greek. I have also listened to a bit of the Arabic because it’s just so interesting. It’s incredible, there is no better language podcast. These courses are crucial for understanding and building a foundation in which to develop your skills. I can’t believe this isn’t written about on every language blog. It’s really fantastic and fascinating, I had no interest in language before I listened to this and it’s change my whole perspective.

Truly revolutionary!!
I have very weak Arabic (Egyptian dialect) to start as my parents are Arabic speakers but I did not fully learn or become fluent. I was skeptical that this free app and system would finally be how I learned to engage in Arabic meaningfully with my family and friends, after many years of trying on my own and with other apps/software.
THIS WORKS. It takes such a unique and extremely natural approach - it takes advantage of the patterns and generalizable characteristics of the language to help you truly understand and apply the lessons to many words, so that you learn instead of memorize. I am finally understanding how to naturally construct sentences without guessing (well, there’s a tiny bit of guessing, but it’s informed now!) and he’s teaching me patterns I’ve known for years but never actually recognized!! It doesn’t feel frustrating or confusing because the pace is natural and the approach is comfortable. The host has an excellent voice and personality for podcast recordings, seems friendly and just wants you to be successful.
