Great language app

Very good app, good for repetition of both words, grammar and accent/pronounciation. I have recommended multiple times to people and they learn basics thanks to Pimsleur. I plan to learn 4 languages in 8 years, and this is helping way more than any other app. Highly recommend for people who want to travel and be able to speak and understand basic conversation and small talk between native speakers. Easy to listen to audio while I do dishes and laundry etc. or during home yoga. Very effective, and I can speak fairly well with others now.

App keeps logging me out super annoying when you're trying to drive and do lessons

I love using this app and when I'm hopping on the freeway to do my lessons it logged me out multiple times and I have to try to sign in while driving. This is brutal this needs to be fixed

Outstanding ap for a busy person

You will learn to speak in the fastest time.

The App has many ways to learn. It is easy to get started and you learn to have meaningful conversations on lesson one. They also have flash cards, ways to hear yourself speak, and soon you can string together phrases to express yourself. I love it.
