Focus on written rather than spoken language
As someone who can have a basic conversation in Spanish, this app is discouraging me from continuing its use. There is no entry test to start in the right place, no way to preview content of lessons to decide where to start in the absence of a placement exam (For reference, I’m 20 lessons in and they’re teaching numbers 1-10, happily would have skipped that had I known), and the only verbal interaction is in repeating back single words. It’s totally impractical for actual conversational competence. I maybe would give 2.5 stars as it may be helpful as a total beginner but even then carryover to spoken interaction is questionable especially if the conversation doesn’t go exactly as scripted. Wouldn’t recommend unless you’re starting with 0 knowledge of your desired language.
