Learn French: Language Course

Everything about this app and platform is tops. The practice lessons are well organized, easy to follow, and easy to hear and understand. They challenge you, but they don’t make you feel dumb. When you make a mistake, they explain things in an easy way. A great plus is that it’s available on both mobile and desktop; so, you have a lot of flexibility when choosing where and when to practice. It’s a great aid to langue learning

This app has phrases to learn, as if you were thrust into the country you’re studying. You learn simple phrases and words, learning more naturally than by simply memorizing words. I’m using Mondly in junction with Duolingo because I get something from each of them. I like how Mondly teaches phrases, and I become familiar with the cadence of how questions are asked, or how to answer them. The conversational parts are also fantastic, and you get to hear yourself pronouncing the words and sentences. Great app!

I hate it when apps lock almost everything and you have to pay for a subscription to use those features. I got to do a few lessons, and then EVERY. SINGLE. THING. LEFT. Is locked! All I want is I do is learn French! Geez! Unless you are willing to pay a lot of money, this app is useless. I’m only giving this 2 stars instead of 1 star because the few lessons that I could actually take used good techniques and the robotic pronunciation is better than some other language apps I use. I also liked the feature that you could have conversations with the robot. I would actually be willing to pay a subscription if it was cheap, for example $4.99/month or so, but this app is wanting around $10 a month, or $3 a week. That’s going to end up being over $100 dollars a year. I’m in my teenage years so I can’t afford that kind of money. This may work for someone older who doesn’t have to spend their money wisely and keep track of what they buy, but they are asking too much money just to use this app. I don’t mind if you lock a couple of things for premium user to have access to, but it just completely infuriates me when I’m only able to spend 10 minutes using an app and then there is nothing else I can do with it besides doing the same 5 lessons over and over again. Thank you for your time if you read this!
