User reviews
It feels slow at lesson 1 but at lesson 2 you get used to it and understand why. It's a great app and is very good. It does feel slow at times and a bit tiring but it has tons of review so you really get the information drilled into your head!
Great listening supplement. $20 a month is nothing for high quality content.
Hands down BEST language learning app. I took Russian in college for a semester and I learned more from this app in a month than I did in 6 months of college. The subscription is as affordable as Netflix, and if you stick with it it's shocking how quick you learn. They are also quick to fix app issues when reported ...
Better than classroom. I am able to perfect skills at my own pace. The diction is clear. The lessons are adequately challenging. I am getting this!
Pimsleur is the way to go. I decided to use the app for one language and audio for my refresher language. But I still use Pimsleur audiobooks. They are the best for pronunciation.
I was able to learn in such a short time it is ridiculous!!! You don't even know how much it took me to learn from other apps, but with this one? OOF! I highly advise you to check it out!
