I’m using this app to learn Albanian and Bosnian. I would emphasize that you won’t become fluent just through using the app, and learning the language comes down to your own motivation and use of other resources too. This is by no means a criticism of this particular app, as I feel that apps like Duolingo also will not make you fluent. However, I feel that the app is easy to use and is providing good information and a great starting point to guide my learning further. It doesn’t teach you every single word, but it gives you some important basic ones for each lesson. As I use it more I am beginning to understand some of the grammar rules by doing the conversation exercises and am picking up on certain nuances in the languages. Overall I think this is a great app to use as a starting point. You will need to incorporate other resources if you truly want to become fluent, but it has been very helpful in guiding me. Other things I have added alongside the app include watching videos of native speakers and chatting with AI in Albanian to have real-world conversations in lieu of knowing people who speak Albanian. Don’t expect to become fluent using just one medium, but the app has only been beneficial for me.

Good content, bad functionality

The lesson content is fine and digestible, however the app functionality is often faulty and frustrating. The Thai writing lesson portions are especially useless and aggravating to get through. I use my phone to get through the lessons, so I have to use my finger to draw the symbols to complete the “writing” portion, which requires a degree of precision that is impossible to achieve with a finger. A simple introduction to the letters, the stroke pattern to right them, and reading rules would be much more helpful. Since the latest update, the speaking portion is also often unbearable to get through. The “mic” sometimes will not connect/load at all, and will also frequently not catch a large portion of a word or phrase. The voice analyzer is also highly unreliable. Sometimes it will say “100% - you sound like a native!” But when I listen back, it only actually caught about 3/4 of what was said. Then other times, it will ask for a simple word that I know I am pronouncing correctly through my lessons and interactions with native speakers, and I can hear that it matches their own provided recordings as well, and it will deem it somewhere in the range of “75%”. I’m not attached to getting max crowns or whatever on every level, since this app is only a minor supplement to my learning, but it is frustrating that something that used to work decently no longer does. Again, I do like the actual content and the way it is presented, but the issues with the speaking and writing portions are pushing me to consider other, less frustrating options.

Hi! Thank you for your detailed feedback, and we’re sorry to hear about the frustration you’ve been experiencing. We’re glad you find the lesson content clear and digestible, but we understand that the technical issues with writing and speaking exercises are making parts of the experience difficult.For the Thai writing exercises, we appreciate your point about the precision required when drawing characters on a phone. We understand this can feel restrictive and not always effective for learning. Your suggestion of adding clearer stroke guidance, letter introductions, and reading rules is very helpful, and we’ll share it with our content team for improvement. Regarding the speaking feature, our team is actively working on improving speech recognition reliability and feedback accuracy. please contact us at support@ling-app.com if you have other concerns our assistance needed. We are always here to help. Regards, Recyl

Good customer service, faulty product

I was really excited to see that Ling offered Slovenian, which is a small language not available in most other formats. I had learned a very small amount already, and I quickly realized that while the written words for boy and girl, for instance, were the words I knew, the spoken words did not match. Turns out there are a couple of different ways to say girl and boy in Slovenian, and one way was used for the written word and the other for the spoken words. Slovenian pronunciation is already difficult for an English speaker; someone trying to match the spoken and written words would have no chance. I used the error-marking capability to mark these and other errors, but there were so many I finally gave up.To their credit, when I reached out to Ling, they were really nice and very responsive, which is why they have a couple of stars. But to release a language, not as a beta but as something you pay for, when it has so clearly not been vetted at a very basic level, is really irresponsible. A gain, these were very basic errors on simple words that started at the beginning of the lessons. I just logged on to see if they’d been corrected, but they haven’t. If you want me to help test a language, that’s one thing. But I decided to pay for a year, so ai think that was $60 I can’t get back. I’ve given them opportunities to fix the errors; time to delete the app and cut my losses.

Hi! I’m disappointed to hear that you didn’t enjoy Ling as much as we had hoped. I regret that our app didn’t meet your expectations and that you didn’t find it helpful or fun. I know how important it is to have a good app that can help you learn a new language in a simple and engaging way. We’re always working hard to improve our app and add more languages and features, like our various language games, to help our community of learners learn something new every day. I want to make sure that you have the best possible app for your language learning goals and that you can have fun while learning, and that is why I am glad to announce we have made a number of improvements with our newest version of the app and I would love for you to try it again and please email me back with your honest feedback at support@ling-app.com and tell me what we can do to make your language learning journey more enjoyable. I value your opinion, and I hope you’ll try our app again soon. Cheers! Nick

Handy app to learn languages

Believe it or not, I remember first downloading this app in 2017 to learn Thai before my upcoming trip to Thailand 🇹🇭 Back then, it was pretty much the only app that offered Thai. But I learned a lot, especially getting my ears familiar to hearing Thai and practicing my pronunciation since the audio was so good.Fast forward nearly 7 years later!!! I’m using this app to learn Georgian for another upcoming trip 🇬🇪 The app may look completely different from my first experience, but everything is SO much better! So many languages to choose from (still the best for Thai in my opinion 😋), clear audio from real people as opposed to AI, easy to use, and fun lessons to keep me interested. But not too fun that I get distracted from learning! You can also turn on/off the transcription feature for non-Latin languages, which is a great indicator of your language level. The app is also constantly adding new languages and features, which means there will never be a shortage of learning.Highly recommend if you’re in the market for a language learning app, especially if you want to learn Southeast Asian languages! 👏
