User Reviews for Ling - Easy Language Lessons

Version 3 Amazing, Version 4 Not So Great

5 stars for version 3. Version 4 not so great. I even erased my phone and restored it in order to go back to version 3. If you’re lucky enough to get version 3 I can’t recommend it enough. It’s both a fun and really effective way to learn another language. I’ve always been horrible at foreign languages but with Ling version 3 I’m blown away by how much I can speak in just 2 months. And it’s fun!Features in version 3 NOT IN VERSION 4:- Review all the words you’ve learned so far- Review the words you learned in the lesson you just completed- Report an error in a lesson. It was really easy and they’d usually get back to you within a day or two. Version 4 does not have this and upon getting version 4 the lesson broke and it was impossible to make it farther than half way through the lesson. So I actually needed to report the error which I can only do in version 3.Both versions have the fun and interactive lessons which are great. However to really make it stick I’ve found reviewing vocabulary every couple days is key. Unfortunately in version 4 you can’t do this anymore. The only way to see what you’ve learned would be repeating every lesson over again. In version 3 however you could review all the vocabulary by just swiping which is 20 times faster.I hope the developers will go back to version 3 or at least bring back all the features they had. It really was a great app!

I really love this app, but there are some serious bug issues

My best friend is from South Africa so I wanted to learn Afrikaans to surprise them. I got really far into the lessons and I’m learning so much. The one set back that has made me time and time again have to delete the app and re-download to reset is that it will skip me ahead in the lessons. This is only been happening for a couple months and I’ve found it has been happening since the latest update to the app. An example when I was redoing the exam for the introduction was the sentence “Ek praat Engles” (I speak English)I put in the correct answer and hit continue but while I did that it suddenly skipped me ahead to another completely different sentence and marked me wrong. This keeps happening and it’s really frustrating as nowhere else can I learn Afrikaans, as many sites like Duolingo and Rosetta Stone say it’s “too close to Dutch and not a popular enough language to bother teaching.”I will keep using the app as I paid for the yearly subscription but if someone could please look into the glitch I would really appreciate it. I don’t want to quit learning a language I’ve come to enjoy speaking because of a glitch. Thank you.

It’s okay, but the best!

This app does teach you words, but not the vocabulary or characters in the language. but thats no big to me since i already know them, what confuses me about this app is how the language appears sometimes. the app tries to put it in a way that you understand or help you pronounce it but it honestly just makes me confused. for example, i’m learning korean using this app. it’ll be something like, “저는 여자입니다” translation: I am a woman. and the app will sometimes get rid of the korean characters and try to make it english which would look like; “joe nun youjaibnida”. it’s confusing and i wish there was a option to turn that off or something. the app also doesn’t properly explain how to form sentences, for example, i know 저는 means i and is used when youre in a lower class/position than the persom you’re talking to, for example they might be older! i learned that from another app and so now i know when to use it and when not to use it. it would be nice if they had something like that

its good but..

I stumbled upon a language called Georgian and it's a pretty hard language to me. This app was the only one I can find to learn Georgian and I'm pretty happy with it. But, one problem. Actually, two problems. The app is easy to use, although the alphabet area is not one whole lesson. It is just spread apart where I learn 4 letters at a time. Or 3, not sure. You also need to be completely perfect to be able to pass one part of the alphabet section. Me, as an digital artist, who is good at tracing, but when i completed it correctly, it stated i was wrong (not literally, it didn't turn the letter green indicating I did it right) which is crazy because I left no stray marks. Second problem. The lessons are easy except for the end where we need to memorize literal sounds of the words. There are 5-10 words. I can't do that yet. That is extremely hard to do because I don't know what the words mean at all yet. Plus, the app also doesn't teach us a word one by one. I believe the conversation part at the end of the lesson should be removed and added to the later lessons. Please fix this and thank you for reading if you do.

It’s a good app....when it works

I’ve been using Ling for close to a month now and it’s easily my favorite language learning software. About 2 weeks ago I ran in to an issue with my app not working properly. Whenever I go through a lesson one of the questions will not load and I can’t finish the lesson. This has halted my learning experience completely. I have no way to track my progress or even finish a lesson properly. I’ve tried both apps, 2 different phones, 2 different iOS versions, and an iPad with all the same results. I even made a new account and got the same issue. I’ve worked with support but they haven’t been much help. So until the app is fixed I can’t do anything. The web version does not work either. I’m really holding out for Ling because I like it so much better than the others. But if I can’t use it I’ll have to look elsewhere.Edit. I can’t blame the developer for something that’s happening only to my devices. So I raised my rating to reflect my experience when the app works for me.

A decent app for learning a new language

I’ve been using it for a few days now and learning Canto. I like how easy it is to get into a lesson and the interface is simple to navigate around.However I think some things can be improved. When you see the sentence in Chinese along with the English translation it would be helpful to show the direct translation of each character. Also the audio of the native speaker should speak the sentence in a normal pace rather than slowly since there’s already a slow option available. That way I could understand better how fast it’s actually spoken. Lastly, the speaking lessons need improvement on interpreting my recording. I feel like I am close enough to saying the sentence but no matter how much I repeat it thinks I’m saying the same different word. I’m not fluent of course but there’s a YT vid of a fluent speaker who tried this lesson and the app thinks she got it wrong.I will continue to use the app but I plan to use other resources to continue learning.

Great app (add traditional character support pls)

Pretty solid, I love the languages offered. It’s a pretty great app if you get the paid version. I really wish though you could learn Chinese with traditional characters. I don’t really want to learn Cantonese (for the time being) but I also would prefer to use Bopomofo and Traditional Characters instead of Pinyin and Simplified (I just want the option I’m not saying take away simplifies of course). I would seriously love to see this feature come to the app, then I think I would use it a lot more often or consider it a major competitor with apps like LingQ. I love the offerings though, I think though some languages could use a bit more of an introductory part, like how the writing system works for Burmese for example. It kinda throws you in but it’s a good system and wonderful offerings of languages. I would really like to see a desktop version of this and also more configurations in the settings (also traditional characters pretty please 🥺🙏🏻) but it’s a great app you should give it a shot. I will change my review to 5 stars once traditional characters are added as an option.

Decent only because there are no other options

I paid for a subscription for the year because there are not many options for Cantonese language learning apps. I’m giving it three stars because the app is satisfactory given that there really isn’t a better option out there. However, the lessons are simplistic and repetitive. It is good for learning to recognize Cantonese words and training listening comprehension, but it is not good for learning how to speak or write your own sentences. The review mechanism also leaves a lot to be desired. I would like to be able to quiz myself on all past vocabulary but there is are no flash cards. Your options are to click through the vocab cards and cover the English with your thumb, or to do (what seems like) a randomly selected set of review exercises that are not comprehensive. The app is also littered with errors. I have submitted around 10 error reports in my first week of studying. Often the English answer is grammatically incorrect or the Cantonese audio is mismatched with the jyutping/characters. I already know some mandarin, so I can spot the errors pretty easily (and they do not inhibit my learning), but I’m don’t know if a complete beginner could do the same. In short, the app has potential but is very, very rough.

Sincerely disappointing experience

I downloaded Ling because it was the only app available with an Albanian course. That being said, my review is solely based on my experience with the Albanian course on Ling. The course is organized in a very strange manner and is riddled with an extreme number of errors. For instance, it tells you how the compound letter ‘gj’ sounds (like the ‘dj’ sound in jeans) and then gives an example word of xhep, which doesn’t have ‘gj’ in it at all. This type of error is commonplace throughout the lessons. The course starts by teaching you the words for boy, girl, man, and woman, which is sensible and similar to many other language courses. However, it then proceeds to teach you the words for twenty five, twelve, fourteen, and forty. How that random collection of numbers ever made sense enough to be approved and published is beyond me. The entire course needs to be edited and rearranged to make it even somewhat functional. One additional note, when I downloaded the app it said there was a free one week trial. However, when I downloaded the app it immediately charged me for a one year subscription. I would gladly pay for the subscription anyway, as I need to learn Albanian, but the way I was charged was dishonest at best. Moreover, with the current state of the Albanian course, I feel like I’m getting very little for the money. As the title of the review states, for me this has been a sincerely disappointing experience.

It WAS a good app…until they removed the review exercises

I was pretty happy with this app and bought a subscription almost immediately. It moved you along fast, taught languages not covered in other popular apps, and worked well overall. Then a few months ago, a major update completely changed the overall app UI — it looks like someone accidentally reverted it to a beta version from 3 years ago. Ugliness aside (though the new UI makes it significantly harder to absorb information), the biggest issue is in functionality: the review exercises are gone. The only “review” options are to either complete a lesson again from start to finish, or look at a static list of the words you’ve learned in each lesson. The previous review feature — which randomly selected exercises from all completed lessons and worked wonderfully — was fully removed. I’ve waiting several updates since then for it to be added back or replaced, but it hasn’t. A language app with no opportunity to review or practice what you’ve learned is essentially useless. I truly wish I hadn’t bought a subscription.
