1. Good for learning vocabulary and hearing how the language is spoken by locals. 2. However there are no study resources for grammar so you need to learn that elsewhere which makes the application kinda useless for learning a language. 3. When you've started amassing thousands of words of vocab you will have too many words to review than which is feasible. 4. When you learn the vocab for a video, for some reason the video disappears afterwards without ever having watched the video.

The vocabulary course I created is used by the app to make money through an "unlock the full course" button! This app and its philosophy used to be great. Now, changes in the interface occur very often while the subscription fee is raised. Also, you can't browse for other personal courses in the app. Your credit card is more important than knowledge.

Hi Gregory! We charge a subscription so we can maintain the courses and videos which learners love. We sometimes have offers and discounts, keep an eye out.

Editing my review- are the 汉子 sections of Chinese learning only open to paying customers? I keep getting an error message. Thank you, wonderful app. A million times better than the competitors. I'm using it to learn Chinese, Portuguese and Korean and it's useful for every language. I've been combining it with grammar websites and my notebooks and it's just perfect! If it's ever possible to add trustworthy grammar explanations it would help even more. Any chance of having Romanian included?
