I like the instruction format, especially the short clips, having the translation under the words and the ability to go back and replay a segment. I would like to have more videos from Spanish Playground, Disney and sports videos especially baseball and soccer.

The best things I like about this are the prevalence of native speakers in video, so the realism is spot on. The pace of speaking varies from slow to fast as you move up the levels from beginner to advanced. I'm still low-intermediate and the way the speakers have very slight pauses between words is exactly what I need to parse out a sentence. On top of that, the ability to create your own personalized vocab list is perfect. To click on any unknown word and get a definition, multiple video usages, etc. allows one to really dive into the true understanding of the language. I started for a year and a half on Hello Chinese app on my phone, and while I thought that was very good it has topped out and I don't get much from it now outside of vocabulary review. I don't know how well this would word from a true beginner that doesn't know wo and ni, but I feel I'm picking up more skills and vocabulary every day with this than I ever did with the Hello Chinese app.

I regret not trying this sooner! Signed up for annual and absolutely loving it so far (it has been 2 hours!)

Great for me as someone who wants to learn multiple languages. Can always switch languages, without having to fork out more for another language course. It’s biggest strength is that you get a window into the real world foreign language with every translation tool you need on the fly. Predominately learning Mandarin, so i get pinyin AND Hanzi subtitles and can always click on any word that i need for isolated translation for. For one, seeing the language as it is used forces you to learn context and grammar. I only wish there a way to slow down the videos sometimes, because , for two…native Mandarin speakers can have some ways of enunciating syllables in sloppy ways, akin to the way English speakers do with words like “dontcha” and “gonna” or how “might as well” sounds like “mise well” So, you would never know these nuances if you only learned the whole language via textbook or the typically language learning program. More challenging, but more effective.

It is a funny way to learn a language. I've noticed that words or expressions learnt that way come more often to my mind. The videos offer a wide variety of topics and are enjoyable to watch.

Love this platform, the videos are very engaging and varied and the quizzes are a great complement to learn the content. The quizzes can be a bit repetitive, but then you realize that it truly helps you learn the new vocabulary and grammar. Love the fact that you can pause the videos to understand at your own pace, and that you can easily access the meaning of the words you don't know.

Very interesting content by which regular practice is needed to achieve progress.

the experience so far is great. i got what i have been always looking for to study german. and it felt so so engaging. the only thing that i dislike is the charge. as i come from a country with a weak currency. it's really expensive for me that requires from my some saving to be able to pay for it. please consider others that doesn't get paid in a strong currency.
