Ling – Learn Languages Easily
authentic ratingThe widest coverage of rare languages among the apps tested: Tagalog, Thai, Khmer, Mongolian, and dozens more. The basic lesson structure of phrase, translation, native-speaker audio, and writing practice works. Main weakness: beginners are dropped into sentences without an explanation of the alphabet, and the speaking practice feature is not available for all languages.
storeAvg 4.63, textAvg 3.64, 80% five-stars across 500 reviews. Noticeable but explainable gap: the app covers rare languages (Tagalog, Khmer, Mongolian) and the audience is loyal because no alternatives exist. Critical texts are detailed and on point. Positive reviews are specific to particular languages.
What users love
- Learners of rare languages have no comparable alternative in terms of breadth. Audio from claimed native speakers sets the app apart from many competitors. Tagalog users complete full courses and praise the structure.
What users hate
- Beginners are thrown into sentences without an introduction to basic characters
- Which is especially acute for Thai
- Khmer
- And Tamil. Speaking practice does not work for all languages. Translations in some languages contain errors. Abrupt jump to complex structures without gradual buildup.
Who it is for
Learners of rare languages (Tagalog, Thai, Khmer, Swahili) for whom Ling is the only structured mobile option. For widely spoken languages better alternatives exist.
