Ratings and Reviews
Brilliant!
(Tl;dr - I really enjoy using it and it’s improving my German. Would highly recommend.) I get so many adverts for language learning apps, but when I saw this come up I was immediately interested. It’s a simple but great idea and thankfully, it totally delivers! I really enjoy using it and learning about the stories themselves. The translation of sentences and easy translation of individual words is really convenient. I’m also learning new vocabulary easily, with the added benefit of scheduled reinforcement (a proven cognitive method of memorising something new, based on a specific delay before you review it again ie. the best timing is to review a word just before you forget it at around 4 days). That is not easy to do without actually using an app. Then there’s the additional benefit of the little quiz, keywords, and some grammar information custom to each story. However, my one slight reservation is that obviously, grammar is very abstract. I feel that perhaps without being able to actually use or test yourself on the grammar you’ve just read about, you might not be able to remember and apply it in situ? I don’t know if it’s a rabbit hole for the developer to add a quiz for the grammar as well? Anyway, regardless of that, I love it. Highly recommend as an additional and fun learning aid for your language study

Nice app to build up your vocabulary
I enjoy reading the short stories and the vocabulary learning function works well. There are a few improvements that I would recommend but it is very enjoyable as it is right now. I find it much easier to learn new vocabulary through reading instead of memorising it in isolation and if you operate in a similar way, then this app is for you.
- Vocab learning: it would make sense to limit the amount of words in each session to 15-20 to have a sense of accomplishment. My list of words to learn is about 350 at the moment and I feel a bit sad when closing the session after 30-40 words but realistically I won’t be able to go through all of them at once.
- It would make sense to enable to save certain grammar rules separately from the story so that I can look them up again later. Ideally it would be great to add a few grammar exercises (eg checking how I memorised certain conjugations) to refresh my memory of grammar rules if I want to. You can just take a sentence from one of the stories and ask me to type in the missing word / words.

Quality App for understanding French
I love the real stories that are graded according to learning proficiency.
It’s great to read these stories with some help from the cursor which reveals the word in English for me.
Also for understanding the spoken word there is an audible which has two different speeds. One a normal paced speed and the other a little slower to help if the normal speed is too fast.
Also includes a quiz to test your knowledge of understanding the story and a useful grammar section.
I’m well pleased !
