What Users Love About the App
“I am using this app to learn the basics of Spanish words and sentences. It provides a huge catalog of texts in its app for me to read and learn. It has a smooth mouse roll over support and I can easily hover a word and see its translation immediately which I liked the most about it.”
“The best thing I liked about Lingvist was the sequence in which the words could be learnt. It starts with the most common words used in French which helped me to remember those words first as they were used in most of the sentences.”
“I used the flashcards which had one of the words missing from the sentence and as soon as I provided the correct word there, the complete sentence was shown and I could memorize correct pronunciation easily. When I get the wrong word in place, it will remember it and keep on showing unless and until I would get it right for up to 5 times.”
“I found the dashboard to be very appealing and maintains the track of words which I already learnt. There is also an option for sorting down the words from the sections such as How many times practiced and Last time practiced.”
“This app is designed extremely well. I get on for what feels like 15 minutes to get lost for hours learning new words and phrases. If you have the patience and desire to learn this program is all you will need. The Listen feature is my favorite since the words are spoken by real people versus a computer, making it much easier to understand and learn.”
What Users Dislike About the App
“Since it offers limited number of languages, I would like to see more languages to come up such as German. Also I feel that the mobile app is not as much effective as the desktop version and can crash in between the course learning. This is a major drawback in their mobile app.”
“While listening to the audio, there is no option for slowing down the speed of the audio. It will be at its own pace always. I want this to be added in the app for slow learners like me to listen the audio at a lower speed.”
“I wish it was less self regulated, and more based on memorization. I find it hard to keep interested when I am doing the reading portion, I would prefer to memorize the terms prior to reading them as sentences and paragraphs.”
“I don’t think that you can learn a language in 200 hours even if you can, it seems that the site has not enough to improve your all of your skills like reading, writing or listening. I think more language selection would be much better!”
“Read and Listen parts are kind of hard for beginners. It’s really hard to understand every passage so you need to use dictionary every time. It would be great if there were a dictionary attached near to the reading passages.”
