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

Learning Frisian is an excellent app for anyone who wants to learn the Frisian language. It is well-designed and easy to use, and it offers a comprehensive range of features to help users learn the language at their own pace. The app includes interactive lessons, vocabulary exercises, and grammar explanations, as well as a variety of cultural resources. I highly recommend Learning Frisian to anyone who is interested in learning this fascinating language.

A lot of the sounds do not play. Good app for learning otherwise, but would be better with being able to hear the words pronounced everytime.
