Crazy good
The Italian course isn’t finished but what’s there is jam-packed! I learned so much in a super short time. Great for explaining what DuoLingo does not and has probably saved me countless hours. And it’s free! I highly recommend it for beginners who are starting DuoLingo. It will save lots of aggravation. I’m donating $3/month now to Language Transfer through Patreon with the hope they release the rest of the Italian course. Fingers crossed. I know a lot of work must go into these. Very unique and effective course, at least for me!

Amazing app, just wanted to mention one issue
I don’t usually write reviews, I love this app a lot I just wanted to make sure that the person making it knows that (at least for me) when a lesson finishes, it’ll automatically go to the next one but keep the name of the last one (for example, Spanish Lesson 6 ends and it’ll play the audio for Lesson 7 but still say 6 which got a little confusing before I got used to just going back out and in to switch lesson) also, adjusting the time on the bottom of the lesson is sort of hard to do, takes several tries (like 7) for me to actually be able to move it. Also, a transcript showing what is being said sentence by sentence would be useful, especially for the spelling of some of the words.

My dream app
Okay first of all I never really write reviews but for this app it’s different. I love how the teacher goes over the content but not so aggressively to the point its not important anymore. I’d been trying to learn Spanish on and off for about 2 years and now just recently I’ve been on track again for 1 year, this app has really added on to my understanding and made me more interested in learning than ever before!

Best language learning app I have ever used
I have been learning Spanish for over 8 years in the American public school system and through other apps like Duolingo. These lessons are by far more beneficial and applicable for the amount of time required than a formal education or Duolingo. I have learned so many corrections to make from when my teachers in high school taught me the wrong thing. He also explains WHY things are, not just WHAT they are which makes remembering much easier. It all just flows together in your head rather than memorizing separate charts and phrases. I can not recommend this app enough. The only learning experience that I have had better than this app was living in Spain for a period of time. Nothing else is even comparable.

Under appreciated app!!
This is an excellent app for learning language. Especially considering the resources are free. Highly recommend this to anyone excited about learning a new language. Support Mihalis he is doing great work
Free and amazing!
Stop wasting your time with the green owl! This app is hands down the best language app out there. I’m sorry for all the time I wasted going through hundreds of lessons on that other app learning to say “hat and shoe” over and over while having to watch slowass ads.
Fast results!!
I picked the Spanish course since I will be traveling to the Dominican Republic soon. By lesson six of this course I already felt comfortable speaking many, many Spanish words and during lesson six I was able to translate a fairly long sentence from English to Spanish all on my own. I haven’t been able to try out any of the other languages yet, but my friend tells me the Swahili course is very well written too.
The lessons are available online without the app, but I like having the app because you can download the lessons if you want and you can mark them complete as you do them. (Sometimes it will mark them complete for you but not always.)
The main speaker, which is the developer of the app, speaks in British English, so if a few of his words are slightly different than the American pronunciation that is why. That is not a problem for me though. I actually like the fact that I have learned some British pronunciation by taking the Spanish course on this app.
The app and all of its contents really are free. There are no hidden chargers or advertisements. The developer said upfront that he does not want to make people pay for his lessons but that he would welcome donations if we want to just contribute to his ability to make this method even better by adding more languages to it.
So there really is nothing to dislike about this app or the courses that it teaches. It really is the best method I have found for learning a language.

Finally an app that works!!
I’ve been studying Spanish for seven months with eight other apps averaging 6 hours a day of studying. Then 8 weeks ago I discovered LT and suddenly all the learning from the other apps just snapped into place with what LT teaches. It’s like the missing piece of the puzzle that I needed. The key to the locked box. I listen to a lesson each day and I do take notes (even though we are instructed not to) When the fabulous teacher says a sentence to translate and that sentence has 20 words in it, I always think how in the world can I translate that—but it is such a miracle with his guidance and instructions at just how everything is clear and I can see light at the end of the tunnel and it all comes together and after a few seconds, I’m translating a 20 word sentence. I’m still doing all my other apps but at the end of the day when I do my LT lesson, it’s like coming home to a long drink of knowledge. I’m on lesson 53 out of 90 and I’ve progressed so rapidly with the 53 lessons that I have very high expectations of where I’ll be at lesson 90. Get the app—-and sit back and marvel at what you’ve been missing—the missing piece to the puzzle!! And I want to know who the Spanish student was that he teaches in the course. What is her name and where is she from? She is so amazing and brilliant and I love her accent. The two together deserve an award.

Amazing app, much better method to learn a language than most apps that focus on memorization
good!
The app itself is AWESOME. Basically Pimsleur…but free! COMPLETELY free. No hidden purchases or anything. The learning is quick and effective. It gets you speaking at an intermediate level in a few weeks. I use it for my spanish class! The only thing i wish for is more languages. I speak english and spanish and have been taking pimsleur Russian for a few weeks. I adore Pimsleur, it just has a crazy high price. When I found this, I was shocked. Pimsleur but free? I was really sad to see it only has a few languages, none of which are Russian. Thanks for reading this!
