Airlearn (formerly Unacademy‪)‬ 4+

Five Stars so far!

I’m an intermediate Spanish learner, but I enjoy trying out and using new apps. Using just apps at home, I learned enough Spanish at home in just six months last year to take a placement test at my community college and skip two full college semesters of Spanish, landing in Spanish 201 (B1). I’m at B2 now, but I simply love the language and testing the products that are helping people, especially for free, since many people like me can’t afford to pay. I’ve been relying on scholarships and grants for my college and now will be going to work for the school which has a HUGE Spanish-speaking population! Yay! More practice!

Back to your app! It’s fantastic! I love your lessons and the explanations behind everything. I personally already knew all of it, but it’s great information for learners at every level that most of the other apps gloss over. I completely understand why you limit us to five lessons per day. It seems like you have only a small amount of content right now and you want to keep us. I’ll be back every day, because it only takes me a few minutes to get through those five lessons. More people need to know about your app! I’m glad I saw the ad for it in Drops. It’s probably been there for a while, but I usually click past them. I’m SO glad I was paying attention to it this week. This is a hidden gem. I hope to see you grow with more content. You have something great started here!

Better than duolingo

I had been using duolingo for over three years but I still can not have a conversation. They don't teach you about verb tenses, feminine or masculine nouns, or the different spelling of words. They just expect you to know. This app teaches you everything that you need to know to learn the language. The first thing I learned was the difference between masculine and feminine nouns and how to tell them apart. They have a feature to practice real conversations with an ai character. You do not have to pay for anything and there are no ads. Instead of only getting five mistakes you get five lessons per day. Overall I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to learn Spanish. Only problem is the only languages they currently have to learn are Spanish and french.

Hi! Thank you for your feedback. We request you to update the app as we have launched the German language. We are working on launching over 10 more languages, so please check the app regularly for updates.

Do not waste your time on the French course.

I am an intermediate in French, I decided to comeback to a language app and study my French again. I come across unacademy as it was known at the time, I didn’t use it cause I h the thought it was only for Spanish, but then I see they have other languages. The app doesn’t start with a test to see where you are, so you just have to do test of the chapters to see where you’d be. I was a bit rusty and decided to see where I was. I took a chapter test, and when I did I discovered that the grammar on the app isn’t sufficient. The thing said along the lines of: « tu » goes with « déteste » when déteste is used with je. Before that I saw that it wanted me to get 950xp in one day. You get 50xp per lesson, and as I’ve seen from others, you can’t really go to too many lessons, before it asks for money to continue for the day. Sometimes it asks you questions that don’t have enough context, so you don’t really know. And I also was putting words, but I didn’t put the right «la» there were two “la”s, without any way to know which one to use, I got the question wrong. My last straw was the ai pictures that wasn’t related to question. (The question asks how many stories to a building there is, yet the ai photo only shows 4 stories, which basically makes me lie on the question about what I’m seeing). Please for the French course, do not bother with your time, it is better to just use an indie app to learn. God bless. :)
