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.

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.

Previously had problems with using battery in the background and switching lessons when I tried to pause, but app has been working much better lately. Thanks! I do wish there was more content available for the language I'm learning (Romanian). Edit: reduced after the app bugged me with 4 or 5 notifications in a day.

We understand how annoying that must be. We're working on a solution. We hope you'll re-consider the rating once we fix the issue.
