My daughter loves the app

My daughter has been using this for about two weeks now and she’s really been enjoying it. She sees it
as a game. She’s learning Amharic and we can practice together in person too

Finally can learn Amharic

Easy to use, fast, clean, and helps me learn efficiently. I just started using it and I already love it !!🦾

Horrible and sloppy copy of duolingo

This is a horrible and sloppy copy of duolingo. Audio is not even good quality and there is no professionalism. The way it was copied, it looks like a money grab. Design looks like it was all created with ai. The images all look ai. The worst part is they are charging for a sloppy app. 9.99? A month? Or $70+ a year? No way! At least be original and put some real effort into building an app. I don’t recommend this at all. Stop being lazy and create an original app that is made to help people instead of looking like a “money grab”
