Hi wannabe_polyglot, thanks for the excellent review I'm glad you're having fun and finding our app useful for learning a language 🥰Love this app
I love the concept, it is an awesome way to practice and improve your language skills. Additionally I love that it’s made by an indie developer who interacts with her users!Madfoosa

Hi Madfoosa, thank for the amazing review! Glad you like the app 😊What a great idea
The idea behind this app is so simple but so good. I’m trying to get comfortable with Toki Pona. The loose and interpretive nature of that co lang makes it easy to get into static patterns of expression and interpretation. By switching off with real people, I see things I never would have on my own. It's both fun and helpful.
The UI could use some polish, and some of the in-app messaging could be tightened up, but it's already really useful as it is.
Oh, I’d like to add my vote to adding Esperanto to the list of languages with translationShow lessJClark
Engaging language learning tool
I’d been struggling lately with keeping up my motivation to keep learning another language and this app really helps with that by prompting you to use what you already know to express yourself in a creative manner, which also leads you to filling in gaps in your knowledge and adding to your vocabulary. I wish it had a listening and speaking component as well (seeing as those are the areas I’m seeking to improve in most) but I understand that would probably be quite a task to implement.Show lessJ5Rr25

Hi J5Rr25, thanks for the excellent review! You're also in luck, I don't have a certain date for this yet, but audio matches is a feature I'll work on for the next version :D Edit: From version 2.0 on audio matches are now availableAmazing!
I have been stuck in a language rut for a while because I have been learning grammar and vocabulary but not using it! This app has forced me to start using everything I’ve learned (and recalling it) so I am starting to have more confidence in speaking and making more complex sentences. There’s still not that many users in the language I am studying but hopefully in the future that will change.Show lessoe96

Hi oe96, thanks for such a great review! I'm super glad you're enjoying the app! What language are you learning? Maybe we can try reaching some study groups in social media and see if we can increase the community for that language. Don't hesitate to contact us by email to follow up or if you have any other suggestions about the app. Thanks!Fun and useful
This is such a good way to start forming sentences and interacting with others. I love the picture prompts to match. I understand this is still under development so just a few things to improve. I particularly think the interface could be clearer, initially it’s hard to work out what is in progress and what you have to do something with. I got confused with whether I was matching or starting a new match. If the text for matching was more obvious at the top of the screen that would be helpful. The review feature is great too.
Also really appreciate this can be used for minority languages! I am learning Scottish Gaelic and hopefully more speakers will be on there as it gets better know.Show lessSdaisyk

Hi Sdaisyk, thanks for the thoughtful review and excellent feedback! I'm already aware that knowing which round you are at is a bit confusing for some players, but I unfortunately I haven't come up with a good solution for that yet. If you have any specific suggestion in that regard, please don't hesitate to contact me by email at etiene [at] polygloss [dot] app. Cheers!Gets you using the language
This is as simple to use as Duolingo but has the huge advantage that it allows you to practise putting your own sentences together, with no pressure.vv1ola

Hi, vv1ola! Thanks for the review, glad you're enjoying the app 🥰Fun and effective
Really fun way to try out language comprehension making up short phrases.whotookjeffbob12345?
Developer Response
Thanks for the review, glad you're enjoying the app 🥰Great for any level
This app is obviously good for beginner and intermediate learners, but it’s also great and lots of fun for the advanced language student. At this level, I am ecouraged not only create a simple statement about the image but to bring more creativity to bear. Why not craft a rhyming couplet? This pushes me deep into the target language to think outside the box.
I’m having a ball with it!Show lessTimPybyr

Lightweight language learning app that uses peer-produced language snippets to create authentic but tiny exchanges. What’s not to love?justjessrose
