Super engaging!
This app is very different from other apps teaching language. I love that the app introduces you to language as it is spoken right away through really interesting film and video clips. It’s very engaging and very fun. I also like the fact that you get introduced to the way languages actually spoken right away, so that you feel immediately immersed in the language and culture.Show lessAshnRain
A round of applause
I’m so impressed with this application. I’ve gotten to the point where I am interested in challenging myself with listening input. As a beginner, it can feel difficult to find comprehensible audio with Japanese subtitles. Umi takes the best of Duolingo (the gamification for those that like it, a clear pathway and wonder UI) and improves upon it.
My only suggestion would be maybe making furigana toggle-able for memorized words? To elaborate, I think I think it would be nice if I furigana didn’t have to be all off or all on. Words with kanji that have been reviewed and memorized can have furigana off to help with reading comprehension without the furigana support.
The developers are doing a wonderful job. I have extremely high hopes for the future of this app and team.Show lessdoruthedj
Great, fun app
Really enjoying this app, cool way to learn and enjoyable to use, haven’t paid any money yet and hoping if it costs in the future it will be low, so many cool apps are so expensive that I can’t afford them, I’m a missionary on a budget. Thanks for making this appFedup1

Great app!
A fantastic way to learn vocabulary in context. The clips are fun to watch and the review system really helps the information stick.lisaferschickens

Hey there, sorry to hear! We fixed the issue, so you should be able to create an account now. Shoot us a message at support@immersely.app if you encounter an issue again.Really cool for language learning
To find a gem is hard when it comes to language learning apps. Some of them, especially that little green bird, get so much hype online and I’m not too much of a fan of the popular apps so it’s nice to find apps like Immersely that tries to do something a little different. The videos are cool( reminds of Memrise, which is another good app for the same reason) I really like the feature to slow down the videos and how the audio isn’t effected with a robotic or echo-y voice, it helps a lot because I can still understand the audio in the videos. Hopefully Korean is on the way, that’s another language I’m learning atmShow lessCmahone24

Thanks so much for the positive feedback! You should definitely check out the new version as we've got some awesome new features that just shipped. Unfortunately we won't be supporting Korean anytime soon since we only have the bandwidth to support languages all of us founders speak (English, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish & German). Cheers!I’m a beginner intermediate
So immersing through YouTube videos has always been a hassle since I either know too much to learn or don’t know enough and feel too intimidated to learn.
This is the perfect balance, short, sweet and obviously immersive. Beyond my expectations, highly recommend even to beginners!Gonzalez, Rafael.

So happy you enjoyed it! We feel the exact same way about other current methods of immersion learning. Cheers!The most humanizing language learning I’ve experienced
I was fortunate enough to travel to Japan and immediately became obsessed. I picked up some words here and there thanks to being surrounded by native speakers and have been searching for that experience digitally back home in the US. Immensely provides that. It’s a humanizing and more intimate form of language learning than other apps that leaves you understanding and absorbing more of the language so you can comprehend and communicate more effectively. I spent time on doulingo and other alternatives but found I wasn’t absorbing as much as I needed to actually have conversations and understand what people were saying. Thankfully with this app, through the videos and other unique features, I find im learning and retaining more of the language than ever before.Show lesszionm97
