Buggy and very American in the Canadian French lessons
I will be saying «Je suis Américain» in my sleep. Trust us, us Canadians will know before you say anything.
Also the written assessments constant output incorrectly, and since you automatically fail in that case, it can be very frustrating.

Not Loading
I have this app on my phone and on an iPad, it loads on the iPad i think it’s the 10th Generation, but on my iPhone Xr it doesn’t load so I can’t use it on my phone. I signed in on both but after I finished the lesson and I came back to it the next day, it was logged out. Please fix this.
Easy to use
So far this app is great. It has units that cover all areas: speaking, spelling, writing. Allows for a variety of ways to learn!
A Frustrating Experience
This is a terrible app with the potential to be good. It’s incredibly glitchy and crashes nonstop. It feels like something from the ’80s and the very first days of the internet. It’s very unpleasant to use. It’s sad because it really does have potential, but with continued use, it seems to get worse and worse.

1000 times better than Duolingo
Have been able to learn a lot with no distractions or social pressure. Love the way it is designed to teach a beginner. My only gripe is that the app was working fine for the past year but the latest iOS 26.6.1 update did something and now it is glitchy, painfully slow and can not be recommended until devs fix it.

Produce and write sections
Once I spell the word or phrase correctly it does not allow me any time to write it out I there needs to be an option to click next to continue I should not have to screenshot each to finish writing the languages please fix this immediately
Simple yet effective
After seeing my local library offered this app I decided to try it. Compared to other language apps, I love how it offers more languages dialects that can be studied and really drags out you fixing your mistakes until you learn them. UI feels old but it works for me!
Could easily be 5 ⭐️
Transparent rocks. The only thing that disappoints is the keyboard. If it could use the native iOS keyboard that would be stellar. Even still, this is only a minor blemish on its overall functionality.
Magnificent
The thing I missed most about university: language classes. I appreciated Babbel for my own use, as someone who has facility in picking up languages. Babbel has its benefits in helping with acquisition of phonics and some vocabulary; I don’t perceive it as having much value as a resource for my kids in studying languages I don’t already speak. Transparent Language, on the other hand, has been a treat all around. I’m enjoying the systematic lessons in Spanish, which I’ve recently taken an interest in. And my kid and I are having a good time with both Irish and Spanish, working through them each at a similar pace. The exercises matching written words and sound recordings strike me as especially useful. Fun so far!

Awesome and free!
Free from your library and such a great app. My Spanish has gotten so much better. Use it daily
Lessons
The lessons are actually really enjoyable. Your lessons are better than in Duolingo.
One word at a time
It’s basically flash cards and clunky tests. Boring, incredibly slow, and fractured learning. It’s Duolingo without the moronic sentences. I actually feel Ive learned maybe 10% the pace I did with Rosetta Stone and with about 5% of the content value. So disappointed my library bought a contract with them instead of Rosetta Stone.

Adventures in Linguistics-Ready to Fly!
I am loving Transparent Language lessons and grateful for the library offering. It’s been empowering to learn so quickly and have so many options. Whether brushing up on French or learning new and exciting skills like Dakota or German, it’s always easy and adventurous! The only thing I would improve upon is the continuity between language learning and the navigation of some of the lessons. It gets a little confusing at times.

Almost the best
I’m using this app to study Chinese. I wish I could save words from the grammar lessons as vocabulary to review. That’d make it 5 stars for me. But it’s great !! Feels more like lessons than other language apps
Can’t Recommend Enough!
It’s literally the best language learning platform I’ve ever used!! I traditionally always used Duolingo, but when my librarian recommended Transparent Language, I gave it a shot! I never thought I’d make real progress, but thanks to Transparent Language, I’m strengthening my French and getting a REAL basis in Chinese and Italian. The possibilities are literally endless!! Can’t recommend enough!!

Suggestions
Hi. I am loving it so far. In the future please add British Sign Language and Japanese Sign Language please.
Recording volume on iOS
I cannot get the microphone to catch anything in the app so I am unable to see if my pronunciation is correct.
Language Assistance for Beginners
Transparent Language is good for beginners, offering learning practice through text explanations, audible pronunciations, and vocabulary guides. I have used it for assistance with Tagalog, Mandarin Chinese, and Thai, but more languages are available including Spanish, French, and others.
Great App, happy my library gives me access
This is way better than Duolingo imo and gives me the opportunity to learn with good information and reviewing info I already learned is great
Best thing I ever had access to from my library
I have been using the transparent app to learn French for the last six months as a beginner. I like their comprehensive approach and easy paced lessons.
