Leave a Review Natulang
Excellent language learning app
Similar to the Michel Thomas method of learning French but so much better. It’s nice to be able to actually see the text of the language as you are learning to speak it, which is something the Thomas method lacks.
I also appreciate the design of this app - no gamification here. If you really focus and take your time with each lesson, you’ll start to speak French without having to think about it. After a while, without the gamification of most apps, you’ll find your learning moves at a very fast clip. It’s very satisfying.
Can’t recommend this app highly enough!Show lesscbderbeatrice

Thanks so much for the awesome review! We’re all about keeping it simple and effective, so it’s great to hear that you appreciate the no-gamification approach. Keep going, and good luck in your learning journey!Love
Glad to find a conversation based app that allows me to practice real conversations while still learning some new vocabulary.Graceslick23

Thank you for the review. Good luck in your learning adventureI love this language app!
It uncovers gaps in my Spanish and lets me practice in a realistic, conversational way. There are a lot of little words here and there that through the app I realized I wasn't using them quite right or was even avoiding using them - even extremely simple ones like “this” and “that,” for example. Kind of basic for fluent speaking! The other area I really love it for is making me do more complicated verb conjugations, like subjunctive and conditional, another thing I sometimes avoid and do workarounds for. It clears up a lot of confusion and lets you absorb the information. Maybe some day I’ll start French, too, and see what it’s like to start a language from scratch using the app.Show lessdvh00

Thank you for your review! We’re glad the app is helping you improve your Spanish. Starting French with Natulang sounds like a fun idea! Keep up the great work, and happy learning!Very helpful - especially with speaking
Most language apps I’ve used don’t focus enough on speaking. This app has been very challenging in a very helpful way. I’m only a few days in and I can already see progress, which is exciting!
The only thing I’d change is when I get something wrong, the app will say it correctly but then move on to the next one. It would be more helpful if I got to repeat the correct phrase.
Also, every time I get something right, it should give some sort of - good, excellent, correct. Sometimes it does, but other times it just go right into the next phrase.Show lessCourtney Dunstan

Thank you for the review. If you want to repeat any phrase additionally - please click on the "mic" button on the phrase bubble.This app is a dream come true!
Could not imagine a more perfect app. I have been studying Spanish for a few years and am fairly advanced on paper but my speaking has really lagged. I’ve done the conversation groups and I work with a tutor but it can be hard to really log the hours speaking and generating sentences. This app makes it so easy and fun, and I am so impressed with how it continues to drill me on sentences I’m not getting quite right. Exactly what I had been hoping AI would make possible! So grateful to the developer, you nailed it.Show lessAllcoopedup

We really appreciate your kind words and are thrilled that you’re seeing such positive results. Keep up the great work, and happy learning! -MaxGood for the beginners
This app is good for beginners. The conversations are really helpful for basic French. The stories are also interesting. My issues with this app is in regards to the lack of toggles and flexibility. There is little we can personalize to our needs.
It says that it will only take 15 minutes however I have spent 30 minutes doing the lesson because when it’s finished with the original lesson, it decides to do a recap lesson that takes just as long. There should be an option to skip the recap.
I also don’t like when you skip the question because you don’t know what it is instead of giving you the answer it makes you guess words that you are so simple and you already know instead of just giving the answer so you can move on.
With more complex sentences this AI becomes deaf. it also cannot tolerate the background noise of my air conditioner. This does not work with AirPods. You can’t really multitask which is fine but the lessons don’t need to be so long. I found myself getting so frustrated with this AI not listening or hearing the sentences that I’m saying correctly.
I’ve recommended this app to friends. I pay for the subscription. But I think I’m going to stop soon because this is becoming more of a chore and less fun the more chapters I do. Since I’ve completed so many chapters (151) there’s just so much to recap and it’s endless and frustrating. There should probably be a timer to show the amount of time left in a lesson counting it down. You also should be able to save your progress so that you can leave the app without having to start all over again.
I’ve been late to class trying to get to an end of a lesson but it is NEVER ENDING.Show lessNikkoRico

Hello, thank you for the review. I’ll do my best to improve the app so it’s more convenient and works better for you. There is an option in settings that allows you to select how many words you review in a single repetition session. Please select fewer words, and the session will be shorter. Also, if you exit during a repetition session, the app saves your progress without any issues. The repetition session itself is based on scientifically proven intervals and repetition numbers. So if you have too many words to recap, I advise you to focus on the repetition sessions without completing new lessons until you repeat all the words/phrases. Speech recognition is a challenging task and isn’t perfect by any means, but we are working hard to improve it. If any specific issues - don't hesitate to contact me at support@natulang.com and I'll do my best to fix them. -MaxFrench
I’ve only been using this app for a couple of days and I really like it, I’m totally blind and it’s very difficult to find a user-friendly app so I really appreciate this one, as well as it allows me to speak and I don’t have to worry about or being frustrated because I can’t use the app. Keep up the good work.Show lessjenica428

Thank you. It’s awesome to hear that the app is helpful to you. If you have any requests or ideas to make using Natulang more convenient for you, please contact us at support@natulang.com. We didn’t plan the app for your specific case, but we are happy to improve the interface so you can use the app without any limitationsUsing this app with headphones is painful
The beep is way too loud and the voices are too quiet. The beep is so loud in my headphones it actually hurts my ears. I couldn’t make it through a single lesson. Unfortunately, there are no sound settings in the app and it’s unclear to me if my phones system settings are creating the weird sound distortion.Show lessAlina Michelle

Muchísimas graciasGreat app! Simple yet effective.
I love how this app is very engaging with different topic conversations. Contrary to what one reviewer said, the length of each lesson is perfect (about 15 min). The best thing about this app is it makes you talk! And you will remember the words and way to say things naturally.
I also love how straightforward it is. No bells and whistles.
My only wish is for the accent to be changed to Latin American Spanish.Show lesslll_dove
