Ratings and reviews

I really like how this app explains grammar rules, makes you spell the words out, and challenges you with similar options for multiple choice. It has a vocabulary bank that you can refer back to! I love that you can connect and get feedback from a native speaker quickly, and help others learning your language too. The app is a little slow to load up, but that is my only complaint.

Lots of great real world examples, practical vocabulary (no rhinoscheroses here), real native speakers. There are a few bugs in the app - when I try to go to "review lesson" it goes to the loading screen "preparing your review" and I can hear the speaker start the lesson, but the lesson doesn't load on the screen - it just stays stuck on the "preparing your review" screen. Update: uninstalled, reinstalled,still have the same issue with review lessons not loading.

So far, I've found that I've learned more than I have on other language learning apps out there. I like that despite the premium membership being pushed on us, it's not a requirement to use the app. Also, I adore the social feature, where we can help others learn the languages we speak fluently. Very enjoyable to use, and doesn't feel as anxiety inducing as other apps.
