About this app

TLDR: Learn a new language from movies you love.

That's really all you need to know…but If you have time to waste reading a characteristically lengthy app description designed for search optimization then, by all means, continue reading.

Our bigtech overlords want to make sure you understand what's going to happen after you download our language learning app. So let's be abundantly clear.

With our Nonsense you WILL NOT:
• Get fluent in 30 days
• Unscramble sentences
• Get \"easy\" language examples
• Increase your test scores in just 10 hours
• Be harassed by colorful birds
• Learn how to order coffee*

What you WILL do is:
• Immerse in Hollywood movie scenes
• Understand words and grammar with in-context explanations
• Hear many different voices and ways of saying things
• Learn how native speakers actually use the language
• Remember what you learn forever
• Be able to quote Shrek in foreign language

If enough people like the Nonsense app, we'll add more languages than all the other apps combined. Right now you can only learn English and Spanish (with French, Japanese, Portuguese, & Russian coming soon).

You can watch all the content for free (with annoying ads). You can pay to get rid of ads plus get unlimited saved words and scenes. You can pay a ridiculous amount to get UHD video and spatial audio.

*You'll eventually learn how to order coffee because we add new movies every week. You're bound to get a coffee ordering scene at some point.

Make sure you sign up for push notifications if you want to stay in the loop for new movies and feature drops.

Learning language with familiar films is great! It is so much easier to learn with narrative and real context instead of just trying to memorize a bunch of vocab words. I have friends who taught themselves English by watching American movies. I was impressed by how fluent they were without any formal class. This app takes learning to the next level adding valuable structure. Zero in on specific types of conversation you want to improve and get multiple examples of real dialogue.

I installed this app today, and after two or three lessons it started showing a black screen. Even after killing the app and reopening it, it’s still showing a black screen.

A year ago when I installed the app for facilitating my French language learning it was of great help because I could tap on the words to know their meanings, however with the new update that feature was removed and another feature was introduced where we do vocabulary and sentence structure exercises before each video. It would have been better if both the previous feature & the current feature were merged together. I was very hopeful and took the premium subscription,however the app crashed.
