Love the interactive audio lessons, they are easy to follow and understand
So far the course is great... Checks off all the learning avenues to guarantee your success.
I like the way the lessons are made. There is a lot to learn. Thanks.
The course has been good so far. There are good explanations about how the language works.
So far so gut, need to check further lessons though as this is just the second on Module 1 Starter
I like the format of the course but am disappointed that the presenter with an English accent has been replaced with one with an American accent. Also I have spotted a few mistakes with the words spoken by the tutor compared to that written on screen.
And in the latest version the "Play it" elements of the lessons won't work on my computer whereas previously I had no problem with them.
I'm not quite a complete beginner and I've only been using the course (French) for a few weeks but find it very comprehensive in terms of topics covered and the grammar explanations seem great. Travelogue is too advanced for me atm.
There is a bit too much English in the full lessons, I know it's for beginners but the bad jokes and bits off topic are a bit annoying. There seem a few things missing from the app (Android) like the end of section tests and the survival kit audios in the playlist. Maybe I've missed it somewhere but a search function would be good to find subject/grammar topics, I know you can see headlines in the contents. It would be nice to be able to highlight somewhere which topics I want to go over again, e.g. for some of the easier sections I've not bothered to go through all the Reinforcement Activities to make them green as I don't feel I need to, but for some topics I want to go over them again, and a way to highlight which ones "I've done" would be useful.
I think it is quite expensive (I've bought all levels) but I understand a lot of work has gone into them, but am hoping it will be worth it as it's probably too early for me to say, but there is the money back guarantee which is reassuring. I've not had to deal with the Customer Service so can't really comment on that.

Hi Nina - Thanks for the feedback. The Android/iOS apps are next in line for a comprehensive update. As far as the search function goes, there is a search field at the top of the page, which will give comprehensive results from throughout the courses. And, finally, you can mark an activity as complete in the 2021 Edition. Just click the activities icon within the activity box itself.
Starting to learn Spanish at 67 years old is probably not the best time but so far so good.
I can't fault the teaching method or the software and I even enjoy even the frustrating time when my mind goes blank.
Very good balance of written and spoken.
Pace of new words is good.
Native accents are helpful.
An interesting experience and interaction for learning Japanese, a solemn language.
