It has helped me learn more Igbo in one week than anyone else has tried to help me in the time span of over a decade. It was nice and helped me a lot until I realised that I need to pay to unlock the remaining lessons. I'm only on lesson 3 but I want to do more but I don't want to pay. I do wish nsukka was on the app as well.

This app is good tho. But, please add a feature just like Duolingo with test exercises and speaking stretch, literally forgot the first part of the African good morning I learnt the day before!

Hello 🤗 I really enjoy using the app. I just finished lesson 3 for my Igbo language class and tried subscribing for a year since you guys are giving a discount but it was declined. Is there an account I can pay to?
