Ratings and reviews

I am really interested in learning Frisian and this all is nearly perfect but it desperately needs improvement. the audio works less than half the time for me. How in the world can I learn the language without knowing how to pronounce anything? Google translate doesnt have audio of Frisian so there arent many options. This really needs fixed

I was so excited to use this app. When I first started, it worked fine, but now I can't get logged in. I have tried contacting support and received no answer back. When working properly, it was easy to use, and I was learning pretty quickly. I wish they would get the login issues fixed.

The maker of this app, Auke, is doing a lot to try to help West Frisian stay alive. It is endangered. This app is fun and easy to use and will get you learning a good deal about the language. To supplement your learning, De Fryske Wrâld also publishes some useful books on Frisian.
