Ratings and reviews

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.

I highly recommend this app. I have tried several others, including Duolingo, Hello Chinese, and Rocket Chinese, and so far this one is teaching very well and very quickly! I am doing the Chinese course, but I also tried their Italian, German, and Spanish. They all seem just as great. I had already studied pinyin before I started their Chinese course, which made it easier however. I advise others to learn some pinyin before you start their Chinese course as well, if you want to make it easier.

The more I use the app, the worse it gets. The Lessons for japanese seem sound but often aren't beginner friendly. The Native speakers later on sometimes speak too fast and I can't keep up. The AI voice coach is infuriating and often marks things wrong that I am clearly saying right. I can clearly tell because you are able to playback your own voice. (I'm flat out not using that feature anymore) It has a good amount of flash cards and other exercises that are good and it's good to speak out load
