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.
  
Every want to learn a new language but it a bit hard to learn and remember. Well then this book is good for you and your family if they want to learn French. The book is called “Bonjour! Let Learn French” is a good beginner book for children and adults that have a hard time learning French.

You will lean some words in French like the days of week and Colors. It more of story with a learning guide to learn some words in French. You will learn “My Name is” in friend. You can act out skit in French with a friend or friends. You will also learn some words that goes along with beach and learning a boy and girl in French.

Think is really good to have on your child bookshelves or even in your child school so that they can learn new words and a new languages. It good for though that are going on trip and to have for your child or children learning the words while on a plane or in the car. Maybe your parent that want all kinds of educational books for your child or children. This book is good for that as well.
