Ratings and reviews

Great language learning app. Helps you build conversational skills fast and makes you think as you practice - it cycles back over previously learned content in the half hour lessons, so you don't just get used to practicing the most recent vocabulary. Also has flash cards so you can see the spellings and a voice coach, so you can practice pronunciation. Less gamified than Duolingo, but I want to learn Italian quickly for work, so this is a great option.

So far the lessons and associated exercises are enjoyable. I like the UI, it's dense but easy to use. One gripe: when listening to each lesson by aux in my car or by bluetooth headphones, there is a "crossfade" that omits the first second or so off each sentence which is jarring and makes it impossible to follow the speech exercises. Update 26/5/25: It's better with headphones but still has crossfade loss when using an aux cable meaning no good for driving (my car has no touchscreen).

I've only been using this for two days but I've used other language programs and this gives you a lot more for your money. I love that it starts you out with speaking and listening practice from the very beginning. I struggle the most with listening comprehension. Danes speak very quickly though so I'll see how much it helps in the context of real life. Update: I finished all 30 lessons of Danish and the enrichment exercises and I'm so sad there isn't more. I love this method though.
