I was hesitant at first because it feels like a niche language but not only does it have all of the church-y lingo it also has daily life options too. The sentences are also built the way they are wanting you to phrase things on your mission and aligns well with preach my gospel! Definitely helped so much more than duolingo or any other app. Absolutely loved the ai sentence creator feature as well :) LOVE EMBARK—TRY IT!!! ### 5/5 — Perfect for Service Missionaries *2026-06-17* Pairing this with Duolingo (especially if you’re learning Spanish or Portuguese) is perfect for gospel study in a different language! For any Service or Mobile missionaries considering learning a language, please read this! ### 2/5 — Won’t work *2026-05-11* When I open the app it freezes on a blue screen **Developer response:** We're sorry to hear you ran into trouble! The good news is we recently released a fix, we are hoping this has fixed your issue! If you're still experiencing any trouble, please email tallsupport@churchofjesuschrist.org and our team would love to help get you back to learning! ### 1/5 — Great idea but what’s the point if the app doesn’t work *2026-05-11* It worked in the beginning but when I added another language that’s when it all crashed. The app doesn’t work anymore. It only shows the blue background theme. I tried deleting the app and reinstalling it, restarting the phone. After reinstalling it gave me an option to log in and then it froze again. I couldn’t reach the support center either. When I click on contact the support center it opens the browser, asks me to log in and again I’m faced with the same blue background. I hope you can fix the bug! Thanks **Developer response:** We're sorry this has been such a frustrating experience! The good news is we released a fix that addresses this issue for new users and those adding new languages. Please give it another try, and if you're still having trouble, email tallsupport@churchofjesuschrist.org so we can help you directly. Thank you for your patience, we can't wait to get you learning again! ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-05-10* This app has taught me a lot of church words in French that I have never learned in my almost 8 years of learning French and I find learning this really helpful because there is someone in my ward who is originally French so I can communicate with him. This has also helped me with everyday conversations that I could use on a European vacation that my family and I might go on. I also want to go on a French mission, so this could potentially help me. ### 5/5 — Slowed Down? *2026-03-23* I absolutely love this app it’s helped tremendously in trying to prepare for my mission. Only thing I wish it had was a way to slow down the sound so I can figure out my pronunciation. It’s really hard trying to get my pronunciation right when it feels like it’s going 100 miles an hour. Other than that I love it! After only a few lessons I’ve been able to start saying my prayers in spanish and it’s amazing! ### 5/5 — So perfect *2026-03-16* I like that it has allot of languages like Spanish and English Japanese etc and I also like that it dosent have annoying ads or that you need to pay to get better experience it’s so perfect the only thing that I don’t like is that sometimes the buttons don’t click and you need to press them allot of times to work but it happens rarely . For this app I can now speak Japanese. おもし3い も〇😀😆😆😆 ### 5/5 — Make time for Embark! *2026-02-12* Great App! Very helpful in preparing to serve a mission, and it has helped me to learn a language a lot more than Duolingo has in a much shorter time period! ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2026-02-05* This app is great at helping you learn what you want to learn ## Frequently asked questions about TALL Embark ### What is TALL Embark?
