It's okay. I like that it explains more than Duolingo, but the lessons can get pretty repetitive, not to mention stuff that just isn't relevant. There were multiple lessons on talking about environmental pollution yet no lesson on animal names or buying groceries. Also, not happy that I have to use Spain Spanish instead of Latin American because the latter only had two levels to go through. I'm glad I didn't buy the lifetime subscription. Just a year then I'll probably drop it.

I like many aspects of this app but the speaking component is terrible. At first I thought I was a bad speaker because everything was marked incorrect, but then I got my partner to try (native speaker) and she was also marked incorrect for nearly everything. I'm talking simple words like "pom". That's not good enough for a paid language learning app. Also there are far too many repetitive elements of lessons, like spelling the exact same phrase ad nauseam until it just feels like a chore.

There seems to have been some updates recently I started learning one language I've paid for lifetime now so I'm learning another language... there are a couple of things that irk me not being able to restart chapters of lessons you can repeat lessons but you have to choose which lessons to repeat rather then deciding I want to redo the whole of this or that chapter to cement it into my head. Also when learning sentences the lessens go too quickly but they are the last lessons of the chapters.
