Great so far

It is not that money hungry and it checks pronounciation and understanding

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

Love it!

Needed something fun to learn Japanese, love the app!!

Kind of a buzz kill

I was super excited about this one as I’m definitely more of a visual learner and I’ve been trying to learn Japanese for years now. The methods were working very well and I did feel like I was improving. Unfortunately, only the first chapter is free. After the first four lessons, you have to pay a subscription service to use.

Learn fast

I like that you can choose word you don’t know and words you know so that they won’t teach you that since you already know
And you can learn faster

Can’t move forward without paying

I am on the first lesson of unit two and I’m stuck behind a paywall and can’t advance at all. I thought I could at least learn a little bit free every day? But there seems to be no way or no instruction regarding how to advance except paying. I come back every day and click around trying to figure out how to learn. How do I get past this?? I have to delete the app

This is so entertaining

So far so good

Recommended App for Learning Japanese

This app is fun and you can watch anime! Very Fun! Strongly Recommend

Good

Ngl this app actually works like it keeps me entertained and if I make a mistake on a word it makes sure that I understand that word but I do struggle with learning the letters

Loved it until it crashed out

I was loving this for two weeks- extraordinary compared to most immersive apps- and then it stopped opening. Even resorted to full deletion of my progress for a clean install- and nothing. Supper bummed as it was すごい!

AMAZING I’m FLUENT NOW

This is amazing I’m fluent now that I started I was going to give up until I got umi you should get it no hesitation! Btw the language is Korean!

HORRIBLE

You barley learn anything it doesn’t help at all and just says if your right or wrong and you don’t learn from mistakes

only 3 days free trial !!!

only 3 days free trial

Great learning tool with glitches

Very helpful too for learning, some functions can be annoying to use because audio or video doesn’t play during mini timed tests

Great app - pedagogy…?

Updating my last review from 3 stars to 4.

The word selection & ordering is questionable. The word “to investigate” is taught before “big”. I believe the point of the app is to help you learn in context, but wouldn’t it make sense to learn words I’d hear/use most often first?

Also the practice sections get repetitive after a while (over a year in). The courses move fast, it doesn’t seem realistic to learn four new words everyday until you’re fluent while practicing older words. Has anyone actually completed the Japanese course without prior Japanese knowledge?

DUDE WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY SO MUCH

That app is good it's just locked behind a pay wall. I'm sorry but it is unimaginably annoying how I either pay 149.99 for a lifetime or I pay 50 bucks a year. That is so stupid especially because I want to learn Japanese but every single app is locked behind some sort of pay wall like literally. I did the first five lessons and they boom you need premium for all the rest like this is so stupid only get this app if you want to pay for more than five lessons
