说了一辈子的普通话,连最常用的几个字都说不对。 [老师 shi ]让你喊成 [老司 si]; [吃 chi 饭],成了 [疵 ci 饭]。别人不说你,因为人家不愿意天天跟你喊:[吃]不是[疵]! 很多南方人在北方生活了几十年,还是[老司 (师):疵(吃)饭了吗?]。这么简单的事你都干不了, 还号称能力强。要去闯世界? 先花一点时间,把最常用的几个字说清楚了再走吧! 南方人说普通话的最大障碍在于区分平舌(c s z)音和翘舌 (ch, sh, zh, r)音。其实很简单,翘舌就是把舌尖轻轻的往上往后弯一点。可咱南方人舌尖不灵,往往会咬牙切齿绷着脸去弯舌尖。 下载本应用,消一辈子的痛苦和羞愧! 【普通话难听】? 您说我听,我会马上告诉你对不对。我有无穷的耐心, 天天教你,直到你说准 为止。 【会写不会说】? 好办,您手写,我说给您听。

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 普通话 at none against Language Learning's 2. 普通话 also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.6). Language Learning's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
