    A great way to learn and improve on a language. I have started multiple languages and still remember Hebrew I learned through this app 13 years ago. Currently learning German and it’s just a very effective method. I highly recommend
  • Great App and Learning Tool

    I’m so impressed with this app. I’ve always struggled with learning languages outside a of classroom setting despite having an interest in learning as many as I can. I gave this app a shot and I am pleased with my progress. I am currently paying for the full program, and I can say with confidence it’s very worth it if you need to learn a language for upcoming trips, business etc. Each lesson is about 30 minutes, and I do 2 a day, either split up or consecutively. Sometimes I will do 3-4 on my days off. (For context, I am going to Italy in about a month and needed to desperately brush up on skills I haven’t used in six years) Already, I have finished Italian Level 1 and I have retained so much more conversational skills than I have from other apps and I’m not being terrorized by a green owl. It is small, but already I find myself able to read and understand social media posts/tiktoks in Italian, which I think is useful in itself when learning about a culture. (I speak spanish so admittedly that picks up a lot of pieces as well). Even after my trip I think I will continue to use this service and try my hand at other languages as well.

    Just another app trying to take your money for something you can get for free elsewhere that’s likely just as good (or better). Dr. Pimsleur has some solid ideas and should be looked into if you’re interested in learning a new language. This on the other hand is just another grift app interested in only your money. Get the little green bird out something for free instead of wasting your money. Just watch the AI generated ads if you aren’t convinced it’s a grift..
  • Needs updating but enjoy some of the features

    I would say this needs up dating, badly. Working through the Spanish, and the curriculum spends so much time on telling time. It’s beyond annoying, as people have moved one beyond the quarter till quarter past lexicon. The female voice for Spanish is terrible too. I do like the voice coach. That’s a great feature. Another feature that would be beneficial is to incorporate AI to have conversational practice.
  • Buyer Beware

    I purchased a year-long subscription with good faith intentions of further expanding my Danish language skills. To my surprise, I learned after a month that there were only 30 lessons available to me (with Pimsleur advice to do one lesson per day). Had I known this, I would have opted for a much shorter - and much cheaper - subscription. As i understand, it takes years to develop content and many of the less popular languages will have a very limited number of lessons. Pimsleur will not tell you this until after you make a commitment. That said, if you want to learn how to parrot someone speaking a different language, Pimsleur will keep you amused for at least 4 weeks. Buyer beware. Thus far my request for a partial refund has largely been ignored. I will update this review as things evolve. Until then, I will seek other language learning platforms.
