Wth, the music is SO LOUD. it completely drowns out the dialogue, and you can't turn it off without muting both. There's a setting , but it doesn't affect the stories segments/ tests, it's just blasting like before. and the sound effects are super loud & distracting, too. Which is a shame, because what little I was able to get through was good instruction & practice, and I like the focus on real world speaking & listening. I want to live this, but I can't even use it.

I've only used it for a couple days so far, but it definitely has potential since it's helping to get me speaking. The only complaint I really have so far is that the music just isn't staying OFF for me. I need the music to be muted so that I can hear new (or review) words properly, but the music keeps turning itself back on. it wouldn't be so bad if the default volume of the music didn't start off so loud compared to the voices.

this is linked with duolingo which i didn't like, i felt like none of the lessons stuck. this one just shows you katakana, and kaji, as if you are expected to know it already. No roman or even hiragana to translate it you should just know it's meaning it's very irritating. it doesn't even voice it so you can get some idea. the lessons are all voice recordings and do a very bad job of teaching anything it's basically here is a bunch of stuff you probably can't read now repeat 'lession'...
