Pretty good

The guy talking before the reading lessons kinda kills me.. like no need to say “Number 3”. “Number 4”. Give a helpful anecdote or be quiet

Great App

Well worth the cost of an annual subscription. 3 weeks in and I’m doing far better than I ever expected as I’ve had about zero aptitude for language in all of my schooling and other attempts.

Brilliant

I would never usually leave a review, especially for a paid app. I recently went to Brazil and even took a couple tutoring lessons. I’ve been trying to learn Brazilian Portuguese for a while but you can learn all the words you like, you have to speak it. There’s genuinely nothing that I’ve found that works better than this app.
