Ratings and reviews

Learning Korean Great app I find myself really enjoying the lessons. The lessons aren't overwhelming. 12 days in and I can understand most words. They aren't punishing free customers for not paying for a subscription. What I would change 1. Going back within a lesson; accidentally hit continue and had to restart the lesson (this might be a paid subscription feature) 2. Adding all words to the dictionary (again might be a paid subscription feature) Overall great app Highly recommend

I use the Busuu app for Japanese, and it's been very helpful. I'm currently about 25% done with the A2 level lessons. The lessons don't drag on, they have good material, and it's relatively easy to understand. The vocab and grammar drills are also very helpful. I would love to see a couple additions to the app. Voice recognition for vocab and grammar drills (instead of just text input). And being able to save particularly impactful lessons for future review. I'd also like a button to copy text.

Great for fresh beginners, but not higher levels. I am a slightly more advanced beginner in korean (thought still definitely still a beginner!) and I tested out of all avaliable free classes. It didn't have much for me to learn and the vocabulary practice wasn't avaliable for the free version, so it wasn't for me. But, they have a system where native speakers can review your speaking and writing which is super cool and helpful! If you are just starting a new language I would recommend!
