Language Transfer 4+

Ho sinceramente bisogno di più contenuti per il corso di italiano. Vi prego! I’m a big language learner from Australia. When I say that I mean my entire bookcase is filled with learning materials from Spanish to Icelandic. With the convenience of apps it shouldn’t come a surprise that I have Duolingo, Pimsleur, Mondly, Drops, QLang and Ling as my most used programs. So, what is Language Transfer like? It feels like a more natural Pimsleur but I’m sure it’s got its own method / tweak.

Whatever the case, I finished the Italian course and it really surprised me how I swear that I could feel my brain working differently than it does with the other apps. It’s like sitting in a true classroom and the creators really have poured a lot of love into it. The most bizarre thing is that it is all free which is rare these days. There is the option to donate on the website but it doesn’t bug you about it. How long will it all be free? I don’t know. Duolingo was like this too but focusing on the now it is all free and worth a go. I’m pretty happy with it and do plan to donate if not to vote for more Italian lessons. There are other languages too: Arabic, Greek, Spanish, Russian, French, German and Swahili from memory.

My only problem? The Italian course is far too short and I crave more. I think if I could keep going I would really show some “progressi impressionanti”.

Più contenuto italiano, per favore! 🙏🏼

It’s very logical, it’s kind of fun because you learn parallel to the student and make progress very quickly. You don’t have to learn rules or vocabulary as such and it is very intuitive to get started with a language. 1 hour of the Spanish course covered as much as 15 hours of a self learning book and it didn’t feel like I had to put in a lot of effort. It uses the rules and vocabulary of the language that you already speak.

Best of all, it’s completely free! I am using Duolingo and some self study books in parallel. Duolingo is annoying with all those ads between exercises and very pricy if one wants to use the ad free version.

I love the straightforward, intuitive UI and the easy to use nature of this app. The options to download the lessons and the various ways to manage them make it worth giving the app a go. The app seems to work without a hitch so far. I hope Mihalis is able to continue getting the support he needs to keep up the good work!
