Pros and cons of Lingua.ly – Learn a language. Make it your own. app for iPhone and iPad
Lingua.ly – Learn a language. Make it your own. app good for
This is an amazing app. I highly recommand it.
I really would enjoy it more if it had Japanese.
Waiting for it ;)
You deserve 5 stars so keep working on it
Thats the really great tool to help people with their English. The only problem in my opinion is the app isnt able to spell whole phrase just word and some flash cards are totally random it doesnt make any sense to make a link between the word and the phrase.
Try this....it really works!!
(The pictures dont match but it doesnt matter)
Have always wanted an app like this. Great for people with some basic command of the language
Im using French at work more and more. This is my secret weapon.
Just started to use the app and I am very impressed. It forces me to learn words instead of my normal route of looking them up, reading the dictionary and then promptly forgetting. Very intuitive.
Some bad moments
It freezes the app when it asks me for a rating. Cant use the app or rate it. ANNOYING
I dont know what these other reviewers are talking about, but this app doesnt work. When you try to look up ANY new word, the oops, word not found message pops up. Complete fail- wont help you with language at all. Fix this basic feature, otherwise you can never get past the first step!!!
It is very nice to use this program to learn Spanish. But I would like you to add a like button. So that I can share the article I like.
This app is a brilliant idea!
But:
The text bites and articles wont load for any of my languages.
Also, there needs to be an option to select multiple languages with each learning at different difficulties and get articles in various languages at once in my news feed.
Im thrilled that this app was developed! Its made a huge difference to my language study. Now, Im getting beyond vocabulary and basic travel phrases, and doing what I really want: reading. It is still very difficult to study multiple languages, as you cant separate the vocabulary by language. And, there are inevitably limitations in the translations, especially for compound words and verbs with separable prefixes in German. But, its an awesome learning tool. And, the visual images are both fun and useful. Many thanks for the app and the continued development!
What better way is there to learn spanish than reading actual articles in spanish, getting instant translations for any words you dont know, and then practicing those same words afterwords until you know them by heart? Simply an awesome language learning app.
