On December 16, 2024, I purchased a product from your application and was charged twice for it. So one of your offers caused me to lose money. There may have been a mistake! I keep the receipts for the above on my mobile phone. My dissatisfaction, in addition to losing money, is also due to the company's policy! I filed my complaints in the application form and they replied to me to contact the parent company INSTEAD OF DOING IT THEMSELVES! NO ANSWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Improper Grammar
It's not a horrible app. It can atleast teach you important things like how to pronounce and read, but the speaking lessons are not good. I speak a bit of German so I wanted to check it out. For example, I'm trying to learn German and it's telling me that “Sie verstehem” means “Do you understand?” When in reality it mean “they understand”, which is a statement, not a question. When you are asking a yes or no question, the verb comes before the subject.

Prob the best language learning app out there
…but the UI is subpar and there are certain audio recognition features that seem inaccurate/have too much variance for the price.

Good, but could be much better
I majored in Russian in college, but since I didn't have any opportunities to use it I thought I'd pick it up again. While I can easily re-learn grammar and vocabulary on my own, I wanted to use a program to help me practice speaking Russian. The speech recognition software is very “glitch-y.” I know I have an accent when I speak Russian but half the time the software doesn't recognize ANYTHING I said. I either score 100 or it can't recognize what I said at all. And I started at the very beginning of the program! I've traveled to Russia and I know my pronunciation isn't that bad. The speech recognition part of the program needs much improvement. I was going to purchase the whole Russian program, but I'm not so sure anymore.

App itself somewhat buggy, content not that great. Japanese speech recognition in voice coach barely working. With languages where there's more freedom in word order or multiple options for direct translation from English, voice coach is unusable. On top of that, no option to cancel subscription from the app, but still got charged for another year.

More Czech levels please
A great app and better for speaking and listening than Duolingo. I wish the first few lessons would focus more on travel phrases, asking for directions, using the train and bus, and ordering food in restaurants as those are the things one does most often when visiting a new country. Nevertheless, the method here is definitely superior to apps that have you looking at screens. It's so great to be able to walk around and listen to the lessons, to hear the native speakers repeat the same phrases over and over and to be prompted to repeat them as well. I do wish they provided a bit more time to answer the prompts before the native speaker chimes in with the answer. It would actually be great if you could adjust the play back speed of the whole lesson. I also wish there were more levels for Czech which, like many of the other less popular language, offers only one level of 30 lessons. I have tried Duolingo and again think this is a superior method. It is more challenging and gives better results if you actually want to learn to speak the language conversationally. The onscreen activities are also helpful as well as are the reading lessons, just so you know it's not all listening and there is sole looking and reading.
