User reviews

Also good for grown ups!

I’m an adult learning Gujarati (my mother’s language) and these videos, combined with the written text in Gujarati, are really helping me with my reading and listening. Because the videos are on YouTube, you can slow them down to make listening easier, and there’s several levels of difficulty so I have some progression. Thank you.
