As a person who speaks more than 10 languages and knows the best approaches to studying foreign languages, I must say this app is the best I’ve ever used for language learning. For example, Duolingo is, honestly, absolute trash compared to this—nothing but a marketing subproduct. I wish you would design more languages in a similar way in your app(no English, it is boring😅)—it's a pure pleasure to study with the Chinese Skills : clear structure, and professional layout. I’m currently studying Danish, and Duolingo makes it feel like Chinese is 100 times simpler—simply because Duolingo it’s so poorly designed in comparison with your app🥰🥰🥰.
