Leave a Review Language Transfer
Best Way To Learn Greek!
Language Transfer isn’t about vocabulary— get that elsewhere — instead it is about how the building blocks of the language fit together, explained through exercises and actual use. Sometimes I get frustrated that I am not fluent yet, then I remember I’ve only been studying for six weeks! But I’ve come further in those few weeks than I did studying other languages for years.Show lessTall & Hourglass
Genius
This is the most innovative way to learn a language I've ever encountered. And it works brilliantly! I've been studying Spanish for about 18 months, and I've learned a lot, but there were definitely some concepts that I struggled with... until now (MORE below). The app itself is as bare-bones as can be, but the learning experience is unmatched. This guy deserves not only my 5 stars, but like a Nobel in language or something. I'm def gonna donate -- but you don't have to. Unbelievably, this is totally free! ====================================MORE: The program I already completed was very traditional. There are 150 hour-long lessons. You listen to a dialogue, then get an explanation, then do lots of exercises. It's very thorough, but I end up feeling like I have to search my brain to remember things, and I lose confidence quickly. The Language Transfer method, by contrast, takes what I already know from English and gives me simple rules so I can quickly and easily *build* what I need when I need it. I also appreciate that there isn't a ton of vocabulary to memorize -- I can look something up when I need it. I probably wouldn't make this my *only* language-learning app, but I'd definitely recommend it as the best possible starting point.Show lessDesignergrrl
Underhyped !!
Not memorization based like most apps, but actually teaches the concepts slowly and thoroughly like a traditional language course instead of focusing on vocabulary. Much more helpful for providing a learning foundation, especially if you're learning to travel, and the recorded lessons make everything easier to understand. Definitely would recommend using this first and then going back to a Duolingo-type app if you want to learn specific vocabulary.Show lessm.m.wa.y
This app stands out. *Updated review below*
I’ve been using Duolingo intensely for around 9 months, and I’m currently taking a Spanish course in school, and yet somehow this app seemingly makes all that seem like tedious work. It’s so fun, relaxing, and engaging, truly. You just listen to a man giving a woman a lesson, and pause when he asks questions (as if he was asking you) then you can compare your answers. The best part is the teacher. He has such deep knowledge of languages and his way of explaining is so concise yet still deliberate. An honestly outstanding app that I would recommend even to Intermediate speakers. ¡Esta aplicación es muy divertida y útil!

I now speak 5 languages, and still endorse Language Transfer to everyone I can as the first and best option there is.Show lessArtiste de arte
Truly an amazing learning experience
I have always wanted to learn French, my family is half french and a few of my family members speak it. But the hard part has been finding a good way to really understand and gain a foothold in the language. What I love about LanguageTransfer is that it doesn’t just teach you vocabulary, but explains it and explains how to properly use that vocabulary rather than trying to glue stuff together and sounding like an idiot (figured that out from experience). I also really love how it teaches you to look for patterns and behaviors in the language to make it easier to recognize and apply certain aspects of speech. This app has really given me a good foothold in French and I 100% plan to keep moving forward with the language. In just a few hours of audio lessons I have already learned more than my friend has in two years of high school French. I think that says something. TLDR; Great app, learned a lot, have a real good understanding of how the language actually works and not just vocabularyShow lessLuke78943
I FINALLY UNDERSTAND
He breaks the language down in a way that I didn’t even know I needed. He teaches in a way that makes everything stick and make sense, I didn’t understand a lot of grammar and verbs and now I finally know how to grammar 😂 I’m currently on Lesson 42 for Spanish and it is genuinely an eye opener. There are a few bugs, the app needs an update but it is soooo goooood and I will recommend this to anyone who wants to learn SpanishShow lessAnimeGirl015647
AMAZING!!
You need this app for your language learning. I’ve used so many different apps and methods for years, and I never felt like I got past a simple understanding. The teacher on this app actually breaks down and teaches you the ins and outs of the language, in a way that relates it to English. I finally feel like I’m actually understanding the language now! He makes so many connections that it becomes easy to learn. Each lesson is short but filled with a lot of knowledge. He’s amazing!Show lessRiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
Learned more in 20 episode than in 3 semesters
This app is amazing for helping retain and help clarify language patterns. I took 3 semesters of German in college and, while they taught me a lot of vocab and helped demonstrate how certain sounds should be, I always struggled with grammar. The German lesson hear has really helped fill everything in for me. After practicing with this a bit more I’m sure my conversational skills will be incomparable to before.Show lessEthanthedestroyer
The best
This is better quality instruction than you’d get from almost any paid course or app, and it’s all for free (with no premium version). This guy really encourages a deep understanding of language from the outset, to the point where even the first lessons for my second language which I speak decently well have been valuable and enlightening. It is very dense and probably works best taken one lesson at a time followed by plenty of thinking and digesting (it’s certainly not as passive as something like duolingo), so be ready for that. But if you enjoy intensive style learning or have an interest in linguistics I can’t recommend this highly enough.Show lessdavidb!
Amazing, it has an awesome way of teaching, but one con.
I was extremely surprised with this app. At first it may not look too much since it only has audio lessons and it’s free seeming like it may not work well, but it does!! So what this app does is that instead of teaching you basics (Take Spanish for example) like Hola, Cómo estás?? No, they teach you how concert words from English to Spanish and use those words in a sentence. This app does discourage memorization and note taking, so they don’t recommend you take notes and memorize anything. However, the only complete course in this app is Spanish and the rest of language courses are not finished and there are not enough languages. They only have Spanish, German, Arabic, Turkish, Greek, Italian, French, Swahili and English for Spanish speakers. If none of those are your target language, then i’m really sorry. I am gonna tell you that this app by itself will NOT make you fluent. This is a great combination with other resources so that you will help become fluent. This app only relies on donations to make money so if you enjoy your experience and have some spare money on you, then I recommend you donate!Show lessHSIWJWUUEKEJEYUEE
