Their explanations set them apart from competitors. No other app explains cultural differences, grammar, and "Dutch things". For example: Babbel uses actual sounds that match the NS/train station. And their visual aids match what they're referring to (unlike competitors who use random, irrelevant pictures). The pricing and quality is simply superior.

Decent but not the best app for language learning. I am learning my second language from this app. Learnt Italian first and now I am learning German. However, I notice the same things. Not sure if it's just me but sometimes it feels like the app expects you to have some prior knowledge of the language as it has lots of words they use in conversations(which are super fast for a learner) that are not always translated. I am completely lost with German as the conversations are advanced level.

Better at teaching Spanish than Duo, with much clearer explanations & solid engagement with grammar. But the live lessons were what made it incredible & why it stood out in a field of similar apps. My Spanish went from A1 to B2 in just over a year because their teachers were so good. Shutting down that part renders it useless; it now offers nothing free apps don't. And the way they went about it was awful—such disrespect for teachers & students. I'm also yet to receive an email informing me!
