shame

saw the ai, immediate delete

Amazing!

This app is absolutely spectacular! It’s free and I love how they include actual animes to help you learn

AI Usage

I’ve been trying really hard to find language apps that work well with me ever since Duolingo’s intense AI usage. This app from first glance seems to be pretty good, but I immediately saw the insane amount of AI art. Disappointed.

Horrible

Downloaded the app and within 15 minutes i uninstalled it. it’s completely ran by AI, not to mention one that’s bad at its job. it was trying to show me new words by using show clips, but not only were the words completely different from what was said on screen, the definitions of the words didn’t even line up. this app is a thrown together cash grab piece of junk

This app is amazing

I really love this app and it has helped me improve my French so much in less than it week. It’s so fun an interactive being able to hear the language spoken natively in different clips from tv shows along with being encouraged to pronounce the sentences and see the breakdown of what each word means.

I wish it focused more on learning more sentences rather than focusing on certain words as much but it’s still a great tool for revision and to be used alongside other learning materials.

I defo prefer this to Duolingo and I’m on the free subscription but utilise the free units from each level along with the revision tools
