HmongPhrases

I finally found an app for learning Hmong! Other language learning apps I've tried don't offer Hmong, and I'm excited to have the chance to learn it. While I've learned Spanish, a bit of French, and even Chinese, Hmong is very different, and I've been disappointed that popular apps don't offer it. I've been wanting to learn Hmong White since meeting my boyfriend 4 years ago, but couldn't find it in any iOS apps. I'm so happy to find this app! It's simple and teaches the differences between Hmong Green and Hmong White. I love that there's no limit on how much I can learn in a day. In just an hour on the app, I can already see progress. I believe this will help me connect with my partner's family faster.

A few things I would love to see updated is a Home Screen instead of tabs for navigation. For the flashcards, it should be more user friendly for kids. My four year old can’t read yet, so she doesn’t know how to get to the flashcards and which category to pick. A simple picture of an animal will help. The colors is confusing because the actual color is not shown on top. Maybe separating Hmong green and white into different settings so the user can only learn one dialect versus having two choices. Though it’s probably a more difficult request, showing a video of a person’s mouth speaking will help learn. Thanks for the app!

A cleaner design, really simple to use. Nice to learn both White and Green. Worth the purchase! Four stars because there are some spelling inconsistencies, but those could be fixed. In the future, I’d love to be able to save or favorite words/phrases I’m focusing on.
