The perfect app exists

Thank you for this app! It is the best thing I have tried in YEARS. I took spanish 7-12th grade and scored well enough on the AP exam to skip to Spanish 3 in college. That was 15 years ago and I'm determined to get back to my previous level of fluency so I can share that with my toddler and better connect with my roots. I am also hesitant to use AI; however, I believe this is a responsible and meaningful way it has been implemented. It has shown me where exactly I need to focus and how to go about that. That’s is the big thing other language apps miss. This picks up at exactly my level.

Klare Empfehlung!

Ich habe nun schon so einige Apps ausprobiert und habe daher einen sehr guten Vergleich! Bei Sylvi hatte ich bisher tatsächlich den besten Lernerfolg und habe es wirklich geschafft das Lernen von sogar zwei Sprachen in meinen doch sehr stressigen Alltag zu integrieren. Es fühlt sich überhaupt nicht wie lernen an und trotzdem merkt man irgendwann, dass man sich plötzlich schon richtig gut ausdrücken kann. Auch die gesamte Community dahinter ist wirklich bemüht die App noch weiter auszubauen und zu verbessern. Ich mach das nicht oft, aber diese App kann ich wirklich bedingungslos weiterempfehlen und sie ist auch preis-/leistungsmäßig absolut unschlagbar und jeden Cent wert!

Wow Manulito92, thanks so much for the fab review! Love that you are feeling the progress and even managing to fit two languages in to your life. And not feeling like learning - that's exactly how it we want it to feel, more like chatting than learning! Glad you love the community, thanks for you support. Best, Sam 🫶

Amazing language learning app

I’ve been studying Spanish for years now, but this app has helped me to improve my confidence when speaking, and has many different ways to practice, making it easy to come back to everyday. I love that it explains why something is wrong and even creates a lesson for you on that mistake so you can improve. I would highly recommend this app.

jaggermeg, thanks so much for the review! Really happy to hear your speaking confidence has come on after years of studying Spanish. So glad the explanations and tailored lessons off your mistakes are hitting the spot too. Thanks for choosing Sylvi and buena suerte with your Spanish! Best, Sam 🫶

Sounds very good…

Unfortunately, the price isn’t well adjusted for Brazil…it doesn’t reflect our currency, so it ends up being too expensive in reais. And since the app isn’t very useful without a subscription, it becomes kind of obsolete.

Response from developer

Hi miabnrd98, thanks for the honest feedback and sorry the price hasn't landed right for Brazil. We'll take another look at our pricing by country to see where we can do better. In the meantime, please drop me an email at sam@sylvi.ai and I'll extend your free trial so you can properly test it out. Best, Sam 🫶

Great tool to actually learn a language

I’ve been working on refreshing my French for a few years now. Though I’ve been able to get words down fairly well, spelling and grammar have always been a challenge. Until now. Sylvi is really helping me to better understand the why’s of the sentence structure and grammatical rules. I’m so happy to have been introduced!
The support team is top notch also!!!! Love it!
