About the rating
Noticeable store/text gap (4.83/3.76). Five-star reviews are specific: users describe real conversational progress. Criticism is substantive: limited language selection, unstable speech recognition. No artificial inflation.
Strengths
What users love
- Each lesson is built around a native-speaker video
- Phrase repetition
- And AI pronunciation feedback. A hands-free mode lets you learn during a commute. Syllable-by-syllable breakdown genuinely helps place sounds.
Weak spots
What users hate
- Only five or six languages are available. Speech recognition misses certain consonants. The Japanese tutor in question-and-answer mode systematically rejects correct answers.
Who it is for
Intermediate learners of Spanish, Korean, or Italian who want to move from reading to speaking. Not for complete beginners.
