It's so incredibly fun. I love playing with friends along with completing the friend quests. I get super competitive and leagues are a great way to challenge yourself along with the special events that let you get extra xp. The only problem I've had is the fact that I haven't been able to access the new lessons, music and math. I've tried countless times to update, restart, delete and download, but i just cant seem to access it. I dont plan on using them frequently, but I'd like the option.

I used to have this when it was in the early stages and it needed A LOT of work, but the concept and execution were awesome. I tried it again last year and they have really cleaned up errors, provide examples and explanations and the repetition of "writing", speaking and listening are really solidifying my experience with my chosen language. I currently have super and it is worth it. I practise daily as I'm very serious now. Library books and this as a supplement have really helped.

(Spanish Course) does a great job of teaching a language by breaking it down into smaller sections to work on. one point taken away for making it into a competition against other learners. this should just be an environment to learn together. one point taken away for changing sentence structures later in specific circumstances. and if you try to apply the same logic to earlier examples it's marked wrong. otherwise a very good learning tool, I plan to continue using it.
