It's a very good app for learning Korean. The use of genders and having a distinctly American voice for prompts and narration works very well up until lesson 28 of level 1. There's a point when the American keeps saying, "Time" in conjunction with the Korean speaker, but it's not clear why he's saying it. My guess is that his part is supposed to be part of her explanation, but if that's so, then they should have had the Korean saying, "Time" instead. Other than that, so far so good.

The best language app out there. as long as the user puts in DAILY effort consistently without breaks and is serious about doing so. it is the most effective way to learn languages that ate on the app. BAR NONE. well done and easy to use with great features. just buy it if you're serious about learning a language. if you're just messing around and want to dabble there's a really popular app that'll help you with other lingo for free but it's about 10% as effective as this app.

Pimsleur is the best language learning method I've ever used. I used to use CDs. I paid the monthly subscription and used the app for the first time. Way cheaper than CDs. The faster you learn the cheaper it is: great financial incentive to master the language quickly! The Premium app has nice features such as flash cards. You can download the lessons to use them online but the process is tedious and slow. Other problem: the app is sometimes a little slow and the UX should be improved. So 4/5.
