Ratings and reviews

One of the best supplements to actually learning to speak a language. It's really helpful getting feedback from people who speak the language fluently or are native to the country and can tell you if something sounds too formal (like how a lot of other apps teach sentence structure). Definitely recommend.

I absolutely love this app. I'm 18 and have been consistently learning japanese this entire year and I find this app very useful. Everyone has positive criticism and will correct you if you make mistakes in a polite way. Also as someone who is shy I think it's an awesome way to get out of your comfort zone and actually use the language you are learning. Overall I recommend this to anyone learning a new language.

I have so much fun making use of my knowledge in my native language. The internet usually brings out the worst in people. Conversely, with this app, I have so many authentically good and productive interactions with people. It fulfills a sense of usefulness. There are options for all kinds of teaching: correcting pronunciation, comparing words by definition, giving example sentences for words, and my personal favorite peer-review.
