Ling - Language Lessons 4+

I totally enjoy LING language app! It not only has an easy way of unpacking the language for learning but also builds from simple to more complex lessons in a creative and fun way! The interphase is also very user friendly making it easier to learn and retain the lessons. It’s like playing and learning at the same time! Amazing!

Just a year ago, I rated this app 5 stars. 😭 As much as I used to love this app, I have to be honest. Ever since the update, the quality of the app has decreased dramatically for the following reasons:

1. In the previous version, you could take short exams for each vocabulary lesson which made reviewing what you learned easy. In the updated version, there is only one exam for an entire module. Not only is the said exam faulty (repeating the same questions twice or thrice) but also covers only a small portion of what you learned.

2. The option to take a short exam that covers everything you learned so far is no longer available. This was a separate exam from those in the vocabulary lessons and helps users test their memory and understanding of the language WHEN THEY’RE READY.

3. The speaking test keeps lagging. This has never happened to me before the update.

4. Nothing was really added to the app. I think a good use for an update would be to add more vocabulary lessons or activities instead of just changing the appearance of the app. Plus I miss the predominantly banana yellow that used to be the app’s trademark.

Overall, I think the app has become less user-friendly and unfortunately for me, I had just renewed my subscription right before the update and now, I feel like I wasted my money. 😭

In Chinese, we don’t always have to say “one” (「一個」) every time we want to say “_a_ girl” or “_a_ boy” (「一個男仔」，「一個女仔」). We only need to say the word itself. “You are a girl” needs only be 「你係女仔」instead of 「你係一個女仔。」Adding the word for “one” makes it sound like emphasizing the fact that you are a girl.

Also, the speaking game? I saw the FAQ. Didn’t work for me. There is literally no way I can stop background apps on my phone, so I guess I'm stuck with no speaking exercises. Whatever; didn’t need those, and I’m sure I’ll just learn the proper pronunciation from Cantonese-as-a-first-language speakers, anyway.

Also, this app teaches you words in Cantonese that will probably sound kinda weird to natives. We don’t have to use 「二十」, we only have to use 「廿」.

Generally wonderful app, but has quite a few flaw as, both in functionality (the speaking game) and in native-like teaching of words.

Hello there, thanks a ton for this rating. I'm incredibly happy to receive feedback like this.
Regarding the matter on speaking game, could you contact our customer support team at support@ling-app.com for a solution?
Thanks again, RJ
