Ling - Language Lessons 4+

Many good things about the Thai course I’m taking, but it is frustrating that two of the best features have been made less useful or eliminated completely.
In the past it was possible to turn the transcription on and off anytime, but now you have to quit the lesson and go back to the Settings menu to change this. The transcription scheme is actually very good; I just wish we could turn it on when we need a quick check about a tone or a vowel.
The elimination of the vocabulary review feature is really disappointing. Being able to go through a list of twenty or so new vocabulary was a great review, especially combined with the ability to toggle the transcription to test your reading.
The recent update introduced a number of errors, with things being mislabeled and dialogues appearing with the wrong lessons. It’s a good course and I hope the devs are not letting it become neglected.

Hi there! I’m grateful that you love our app. Ling is a wonderful way to learn a new language. The app is very easy to use and has a lot of languages and levels. The lessons are clear, and the language games are fun. I’m learning a lot and having fun with Ling, and I am glad to hear that you are, too. We are still looking into possibly moving the transcription back into the lessons, and our review and chatbot features should help with your desire to review vocabulary.

I think this app is perfect for anyone who wants to learn a new language in a convenient and enjoyable way. Whether you want to travel, work, study, or just have fun, Ling can help you achieve your language learning goals. If you have any feedback or questions, please email me at support@ling-app.com. I’m always eager to hear from you and assist you in any way I can. Cheers! Nick

他のAppでは発音記号に引きずられて学習が進まなかった。このAppは発音記号を非表示にしてタイ文字のみにできるため学習が進めやすい。
だが、明らかに日本語の訳が初心者の私でも間違っていると気づく部分があったり、リスニング問題の音声が極端に小さく聞きとににくいことがあったり、と気になることがいくつかある。エラー報告で都度報告はしているが、ここのレビューを見る限りエラー報告は意味がなく、サポートセンターにメールを送らなければ修正されないようだ。だったら最初からエラー報告コマンドなんて必要ないのでは？二度手間でやる気が削がれる。
単純で使いやすく、気に入っているので、どうにかしてほしい。知っています、メールしろって言うんですよね！

With other apps, I was dragged down by the phonetic symbols and could not progress in learning. With this App, I can hide the phonetic symbols and use only Thai characters, which makes it easier to learn.
However, there are a few things that bother me: the Japanese translation is obviously wrong even for a beginner like me, and the audio for some listening questions is extremely quiet and difficult to understand. I have reported them in error reports, but from the reviews here, it seems that error reports are meaningless and will not be corrected unless I send an e-mail to the support center. If that were the case, wouldn't there be a need for an error reporting command in the first place? It's a two-step process, and it discourages me from doing it.
I like it, it's simple and easy to use, so please do something about it. I know, you tell me to email you!

Hi! I’m sad to hear that you didn’t like Ling as much as you wanted. I apologize for any issues or problems that you may have encountered. I understand how annoying it can be when an app doesn’t function properly or doesn’t satisfy your needs.

While I am happy that there are parts of the app that you appear to have really enjoyed, it still makes me sad that you ran into some issues. With that in mind, if you run into an issue during a lesson, you should see a circle with an ! inside of it on your screen. If you tap on that and then tap on "Error Report," you can send us a quick message, and it will send me a message with your note and a screenshot of what was on your screen so that we can look into it and try to fix it ASAP as we’re always working hard to improve our app and make language learning more fun and accessible for everyone.

I want to make sure that you have the best possible app for your language learning needs, and that you can learn in a fun and convenient way. Please email me at support@ling-app.com if you have any feedback on how we can improve our language games. I’m here to support you and make sure that you have a great experience with Ling to learn a new language or three. :) Cheers! Nick

This was my favorite app for supplimentary learning and is well worth the premium subscription. What I like compared to other language learning apps is that there is a dialogue at the end of each lesson at native speed or close to it. It gives a chance to see new words in context. There is also a variety of languages that I rarely see material for such as various Indian languages, southeast Asian languages and Eastern European languages. I hope the team continues to expend the curriculum in the future. The one thing I would like to see is medium or long-form reading content such as short stories.
