Ratings and reviews

It's a very good app for learning Korean. The use of genders and having a distinctly American voice for prompts and narration works very well up until lesson 28 of level 1. There's a point when the American keeps saying, "Time" in conjunction with the Korean speaker, but it's not clear why he's saying it. My guess is that his part is supposed to be part of her explanation, but if that's so, then they should have had the Korean saying, "Time" instead. Other than that, so far so good.

I highly recommend this app. I have tried several others, including Duolingo, Hello Chinese, and Rocket Chinese, and so far this one is teaching very well and very quickly! I am doing the Chinese course, but I also tried their Italian, German, and Spanish. They all seem just as great. I had already studied pinyin before I started their Chinese course, which made it easier however. I advise others to learn some pinyin before you start their Chinese course as well, if you want to make it easier.

I've only been using this for two days but I've used other language programs and this gives you a lot more for your money. I love that it starts you out with speaking and listening practice from the very beginning. I struggle the most with listening comprehension. Danes speak very quickly though so I'll see how much it helps in the context of real life. Update: I finished all 30 lessons of Danish and the enrichment exercises and I'm so sad there isn't more. I love this method though.
