Top Pcmac Reviews

  • Content: Great. App: frustrating

    By Electrical Enginerd (Pcmac user)

    First off, credit where it’s due: over the past 5 months I worked through Italian 1-5. I’ve been in Italy now for three weeks and am having a much easier time integrating at work thanks to what I’ve learned with this app. I have been almost constantly frustrated with the app’s seeming dislike of working offline, and its tendency to delete lessons I’ve already downloaded. Thus if I live in an area with poor cell reception but have WiFi at home, I might go out for a walk hoping to do a this app lesson already downloaded to my phone, and two minutes into my walk find that the lesson is suddenly no longer there. When this happens, the app tends to display a message to the effect of ‘Functionality updated. Re-download lesson’. I’ve found this extremely inconvenient. Finally, the lesson download functionality itself is inconvenient: say you want to download Level 1, all 30 lessons. You have to individually select each lesson. Ok, no big deal. But then you want to do something else while the messages are downloading: nope. If you switch screens within the app, if you try to open a different app, or if your screensaver kicks on, downloading stops, so you have to restart your download. Obviously, despite the frustration, using the app is still easier than buying the CD’s and carrying around a CD player. But come on, this app. Your developers can do better.
  • Really effective!

    By arachnidsGrip (Pcmac user)

    I’ve been using this app to learn Russian for a little less than a month now and it’s paid off so much! A subscription with access to all levels of a language is $20 a month which is a bit pricey, but if you can pay and are really committed to learning a new language I promise the results are worth it. Also, I’ve found that the specter of a renewing credit card charge has been a very effective motivating factor in getting me to commit and study consistently :) I used Duolingo to learn French and I can say after completing one unit in this app that it’s much more comprehensive in giving you the skills you need and getting you speaking right from the first lesson. I really like the app’s approach in starting with words and phrases that’ll come in most importance when interacting with speakers of the language. The one thing I’d say is that since it’s a primarily a listening course, I’d recommend finding some other way to practice reading, writing, and basic grammar and structure (although this app does have a few built in ways to practice all of those). Overall, if you can pay and want to start learning a new language, this app is one of the best methods I’ve found so far!
  • Perfect app for languages!

    By 74481023 (Pcmac user)

    If you want to truly learn and understand a language, or simply just learn a few words and phrases, It would be a complete missed opportunity to not use this app! I’m writing this to not let anyone out on an amazing opportunity- this app certainly is way cheaper than taking lessons, but it’s way better too (in my opinion)! I’m currently taking the Japanese course and just finished level 23. If you don’t do a lesson every day, every week, or even go a month or so, you can catch up quick! At the beginning of each lesson they have a quick review over what you learned in the last lesson or two. The app also lets you go back to the topics and phrases you’ve learned so far. The app gives you new vocabulary, and shows you how to formulate sentences by explaining how to use things and why they’re there (such as different particles and words)
  • Maybe MP3 is Better?

    By GGorska (Pcmac user)

    this app has been one of my language learning go-tos for many years (Russian, Spanish, Romanian, Italian) But when I reported that the app freezes up when you stop and start, the helpdesk informed me that I was Doing It All Wrong and would Fail to Learn because I was stopping after the prompt in order to have more time to respond. Language learning is my hobby, so I know that everyone needs to use tools in the most effective ways for them. I slow down this app to 75% or 80% while I’m in the shower, and when I’m working directly with the program I stop the app to have time make my responses, exactly the way I patiently wait for my English students to put together new sentences. (If I didn’t do this, I would feel like a failure and lose my motivation, plus I’m not willing to listen to those lessons more than twice!) So consider downloading the MP3 and using a more flexible MP3 player that will correspond to your own language learning preferences. In the meantime, I do indeed recommend this app for starting a new language (but be sure to use other resources as well.)
