Ratings and reviews

I use it as a teacher to teach some students with very low proficiency in English. I have NO proficiency in their language so being able to make a conversation and use our own devices or using one device with split language audio input is amazing. Highly recommend to any teacher. There are still a few bugs every once in a while with the conversations getting disconnected or the audio not picking up the right words.

It does a solid job of translations. However I have noticed it has a very difficult time picking up regional slang and/or euphemisms. Perhaps an opportunity for one to speak more formally and properly but otherwise a slight annoyance. Context: Being used by my spouse and I so they can learn Spanish. Overall: Definitely worth the download. Happy Learning Everyone!

Offering an easy & fun immersive experience without having to take the time to learn a completely new language it makes it possible to communicate with almost anyone! I live in Las Vegas, a city where almost everyone is from somewhere else so this app is really important to me. Also it's great for travelers & people who really want to learn a new language, with all the Convenient phrases to memorize, at little to no cost to try. This app for me will replace both Babbel & Rosetta Stone. 🤩👍
