User reviews

Italian

I find the app very good overall and easy to use for a beginner. It is not boring and that helps to stay engaged. I do use some supplement material for example to learn verb configuration but I do not see any way to log or put that in the record of study. I am still learning app features and will look for a way to slow down the audio when I want or need to focus on some phonetics. Mostly when liaisons are present. So far I am very satisfied with the app

I am not learning

This app does not appear to follow adult learning principles. I am not learning Spanish. It is much less effective than Duolingo.

Lessons too long and hard

I’m bombarded with endless new words in a single lesson. I remember almost none of them. It’s also busy teaching me the difference between different Spanish-speaking countries before I’ve learned any actual Spanish.

Really tough

It’s pretty cold I feel helpless doing lessons. I guess more than anything. It’s not fun. I feel dumb in French. Sad and defeated.

Don’t buy!

It said it was for beginners and it’s not! Isnt giving words long enough and starts doing sentences right away! Very disappointed in it for how much we paid for it. For a newbie in a language it’s not simple at all
Don’t buy it not worth the money
