1. 5/5Great app

   I am using Lingo to learn Hindi. I am a novice when it comes to the language. I’ve started my journey by using the flashcards to learn simple words (e.g., fruit). While I have an extreme way to go before I can speak Hindi fluently, I have been able to use the learned words in everyday conversations with my in-laws who enjoy speaking Hindi more than English. They have been surprised by what I’ve learned in such a short period of time as well as how I am correctly pronouncing said words. It’s exciting and I’m happy with my progress. Lingo is helping build my confidence in understanding my family and feel more respectful to learn a language that makes them feel comfortable. It will also help me to set an example for my children and help them learn the language because I am able to teach them simple words and, hopefully, phrases as I continue using Lingo.

2. 4/5Great, but can be better

   This app is great for learning vocabulary with many categories, maybe too many. A lot of unnecessary and some even useless:/ Learning sequence works well and helps in retaining information, but the tests are too spelling focused rather than word recognition which creates frustration because it is time consuming and it takes away from the 5 minute test allotment causing you to run out of time to finish the test. I do like how words are recycled throughout the lessons because it helps refresh and better memorize the vocabulary. There are no tutorials to guide you on how to use the app or how levels work— I’m currently in level 34 - Novice. I have no idea how or when you move up. There are glitches with the program that need to be fixed, such as having to revisit a prior category because it either shows 0% or as incomplete when in actuality it had previously been done. Another annoying glitch is when the same word is used for a different object or meaning and then you get marked wrong if you choose the wrong picture or word. For example: pen and pencil are both labeled olovka(Croatian) pictures of both appear, which are you suppose to pick? The program is set for one right answer, if you don’t pick the program choice you are marked wrong even though your answer is correct. I’ve come across quite a few like this. Overall I think it is a good program it just needs some tweaking. I’ve learned a lot, but at times irritated with the above mentioned issues/glitches. The program has room formimprovement.

3. 5/5Loving the challenge!

   So far I love almost everything about this app. The only thing I don’t like is that sometimes the completion percentage changes. For instance, yesterday my Lesson 1 showed 100% completed, but today it shows 80%. Is this because of an update? Should I go back and see if a new word was added? I guess if this is the case, it would be nice to know which units are updated and what has been added to them. (Perhaps just a simple notification like “a new word was added to Lesson 1.1” would be helpful - and not drive us OCD people insane 😆). #goingforallApluses Well worth the monthly membership. Honestly, I might even pay more. You can’t find a more comprehensive teaching tool for $30 a month anywhere. Well done!

4. 5/5Highly recommended!!!

   I have been using this language learning app for a few weeks now and I am extremely impressed with its features and effectiveness. The app offers a wide range of languages to choose from and provides interactive lessons that are engaging and easy to follow. The audio exercises and quizzes have been particularly helpful in improving my pronunciation and vocabulary. I also appreciate the progress tracking feature that allows me to see how far I've come. Overall, I highly recommend this app to anyone looking to learn a new language efficiently and enjoyably.

5. 3/5Okay for Dari

   I am an ESL teacher with a Master’s in TESOL. I already taught myself how to decode in Dari a little, but I am disappointed that the app anticipates an already fluent reader of another alphabet (especially one as obscure as Dari) without any lessons to learn the letters and their pronunciations first. The lessons are mainly flash cards, not many visuals except for fruit on the free version. I just took the test of Dari adjectives and got a 52%, which the app indicated was failing. I disagree with this grading practice. It would be more aligned to best practices in language assessment to measure my growth in the language as opposed to holding me to an arbitrary standard of fluency of a language I am learning. I am grateful that this app offers Dari, which DuoLingo does not, but there is much room for improvement in their practices. Hopefully it will continue to improve.
