In general, it's okay. I like the focus on getting into conversation quickly; however, in Russian courses, the male and female voices seem to pronounce words differently. It makes it very difficult to find the correct pronunciation when focusing on the sound instead of seeing the word in front of you. The price is way, way too high. This might be valuable to someone traveling who can spend a large amount of time studying before a trip. Ultimately, I'll cancel because I can't find the value.

it's excellent. the language lessons really work and the app works well without issues. a very good job by the app team. edit: I've had to take off two stars after delving further into the Ukrainian lesson because the difficulty level ramps up immediately. it's not a progressive increase in the vocabulary and grammar, it just suddenly leaps like forcing the student to scale and 8 ft wall.

Gave the app free lesson a try, and it's good don't get me wrong, but what it lacks is something that's vital, which is visual learning. When it comes down to learning a language, visuals are vital. For instance, you need to know the shape of your mouth you're making for correct pronunciation or correct tongue position to pronounce correctly. Literally free apps such as YouTube have this, and yet a subscription based application doesn't? Get visual learning implemented, and then you'll have me.
