Pricey Learning

I love this app so much and it really does have a clean finish and so many helpful features that ensure that you not only know what the words look like and what they mean, but also how to say them and speak them. It really is a helpful tool but I wish to learn at a faster pace and can’t do to being limited by the non premium features. I wish learning could be free because even at such a low price I can’t afford it. That makes me sad, I really do wish to advance but can’t. :(

3 Areas Need Tweaking

1-As many others have stated no matter how perfectly you say the words, it says you miss pronounce one and four with a totally different word! That’s frustrating AND THEN ....
2- though it turns red & counts it as incorrect, at the end of the lesson when you click “my mistakes“ it says I have zero mistakes & perfect completion. So Either allow me to correct the mistakes that you say are wrong… Or stop counting my pronunciation as incorrect! You can’t have it both ways.
3- What’s most needed in this app is a “previous review” option or at least quiz me on random words I’ve had previously in my future lessons for RETENTION As you were unable to go back to review any previous lessons or even individual words.

Those slight tweaks, which require minimal work from developers, in an update, would make this a PERFECT & well thought-out app.

Lingo Needs Gender for Gemma!

Lingo provides a fun and thorough way to learn new vocabulary. But it does not included gender information! In German, this means you don’t know if the word must be preceded by der, das, die, den, dem, einen, einem, etc. German relies on gender articles to signify direct or indirect objects. If you leave them out you are just mumbling incoherently. My German teachers and German books stress the importance of leaning new vocab words AND their gender in order to be able to actually communicate in German! The iTranslate team has not committed to add gender to the Vocab list. I am wondering if they are leveraging a free Open Source vocab list and so don’t want to spend the time or effort to improve their software? :-( This is a serious oversight for a paid subscription tool. Please join me and tell the iTranslate team to get off their butts and add an essential feature that their users must have to be able to learn a new language!
