This is a pretty good app to use for beginning the study of a new language. I used it to help me with Japanese. The great thing about this app is that it encourages you to think for yourself more than other apps I've used. Because Japanese follows a different syntax order than English, you have to put in the words individually therefore you have to remember the sentence order. This is more beneficial than other apps where they just let you memorise a sentence and that's it. It's more active learning than passive. Plus, you can speak and the activities are varies so you do not get bored.

You can even join clubs and compete with other players to motivate you. There is a daily goal so you can see what streak you are on and you can also earn badges to keep you feeling encouraged.


However, there is only one course per language as far as I can tell so it is mainly beneficial for those who have just started learning a language. Once you finish that course, that's it. (From what I can see). You can either learn the basics of other languages or take your learning elsewhere.
