This is a fantastic way to learn a language. I'm practicing Modern Standard Arabic, and it has been a tremendous aid. However, the Voice Coach functionality is extremely poor. The app uses AI to detect your pronunciation and its terrible at doing so; very simple phonemes and words are just not recognized by the AI. This would be a great tool, and given that I've paid for the course, I expect all of the tools to work. The guided course using the Pimsleur method is excellent, but just be warned.

Great language learning app. Helps you build conversational skills fast and makes you think as you practice - it cycles back over previously learned content in the half hour lessons, so you don't just get used to practicing the most recent vocabulary. Also has flash cards so you can see the spellings and a voice coach, so you can practice pronunciation. Less gamified than Duolingo, but I want to learn Italian quickly for work, so this is a great option.

I've only been using this for two days but I've used other language programs and this gives you a lot more for your money. I love that it starts you out with speaking and listening practice from the very beginning. I struggle the most with listening comprehension. Danes speak very quickly though so I'll see how much it helps in the context of real life. Update: I finished all 30 lessons of Danish and the enrichment exercises and I'm so sad there isn't more. I love this method though.
