### 4/5 — Great app but most words just show how to spell and also

*2023-06-29, version 1.0*

Wish when talking in sentences that it also showed the words in English to instead of the word and then hearing everything else gets mixed up 
But it’s great starter

### 4/5 — Great app!

*2018-09-26, version 1.0*

I would’ve given it 5 stars but it would be better if everyday words were grouped together, like ‘family members’ ‘body parts’ ‘ household items’ ‘animals’ etc...
