I am using this for learning Chinese, and it's been working great for me so far. But, I keep encountering a problem with it lately. If I switch from the "Complete Chinese" course to the "Chinese characters" one which I like to do in parallel, when I go back to "Complete Chinese", all of the Hanzi related lessons disappear. Clearing app cache or force stopping the app used to resolve the issue, but lately, I have been struggling to get those lessons to show up again.

I ditched Duolingo to get away from poor pronunciation in AI generated audio, only for Busuu to have the same issue. The app seems to have a good basis with community feedback alongside lessons, but the AI is so off-putting. It also looks like the images might be AI generated too, which feels unnecessary and weird. The audio has some weird errors in it and sounds a bit stilted, so I'm not sure how accurate the pronunciation I'm learning is if it's not a native speaker.

Didn't match my learning style - now causing me real stress, as my 6-month free trial is coming to an end, and I don't know if I'm going to get charged. The options for unsubscribing are not working, and when I contact the support email, it says they are busy, and suggests the unsubscribing options that are not working!
