I don’t like that an e after a, o, or u is not excepted as an umlaut in the German course.

PLEASE LOOK AT THIS BEFORE DOWNLOADING

I know I put 5 stars but I actually rated this a 2. I downloaded this app so I can learn French and I also just turned 13 a month ago so where do they think I’m getting money to pay them from? Not my parents, my own money. I only got to do one lesson before they locked everything and said I have to pay for everything else. This app might be good if you’re willing to pay the money but if you can’t or don’t want to don’t waste your storage. I'm going back to Duolingo
