Great app

Makes a game of learning nouns. Being older, I would appreciate larger pictures of the objects, and more space between them, as I sometimes inadvertently touch the wrong item as they are close together. This is probably not a problem for younger folks!

Fun and useful

This is a fun way to learn a lot of everyday words in French, Spanish and German - like an interactive visual dictionary. The illustrations are beautiful and the words are clearly pronounced. Maybe What’s that 2 in the future?

Give it a try

This is a really useful app.

I Love What’s New!

This app is great! I’m in the process of learning French and I love how the app gives the words when touched and I liked taking the test. I can take it multiple times if I need to and it’s helping to build my confidence in learning the language. I definitely recommend this app for beginning to learn a new language. German is also on my list of languages I’d like to learn and you can switch to learn German or Spanish as well. I’m very pleased so far. I love that they are real speakers saying the words it’s helping my pronunciation as well. Excellent app.😍

Love Learning with this approach

My problem is that I NEED MORE! I learned all of the words within three days (I have studied Spanish long ago.) but then wanted more. Items of clothing. The bathroom. Laundry room. Garage. Patio. Sunroom. Art studio. Attic. Basement. Porch. I’d be happy to come up with photos and/or a list of objects. Make this big enough and you could be offered big money by one of the more “traditional” language courses. The multi sensory way of learning is the best, and you’ve got the testing format down. Please don’t stop now! Thanks.
