About the rating
Small store/text gap (4.71/4.48). Five-stars at 82%, detailed and on-point criticism. Long-term users praise the structure, as do newcomers. No artificial inflation.
Strengths
What users love
- Grammar rules explained in the context of phrases. Lessons build from simple to complex without skipping ahead. Written exercises checked by real native speakers. Video recordings with native speakers for Spanish provide authentic speech.
Weak spots
What users hate
- Voice recognition is unstable and sometimes marks a wrong answer as correct. The interface responds with a lag. Not all languages are developed equally well: Japanese is not as thorough as Spanish.
Who it is for
Adults who want to study a language systematically and get to conversational speech. Especially for those who care about grammar.
