had a great time and a lot of fun

FluentU is a fantastic language learning app that uses real-world videos like movie trailers and news to teach languages. Its interactive subtitles, personalized quizzes, and diverse content make learning immersive and engaging. Highly recommended for those looking to improve their language skills effectively!

The best thing about this app is the content. It’s all real, native speaker content, including extracts from the news, interviews, tv shows, documentaries, adverts etc. And there is a lot of it so you can pick and choose the content that interests you. The subtitles and translations for each video are useful and enable you to follow and interact with content that might normally be beyond your level. I also very much like the way it’s learning is structured - you watch a video, then complete exercises on the vocabulary you’ve learned which then pop up as refreshers / revision after a certain number of days so you can revisit them to reinforce what you’ve learned. One small gripe with this is that, as you watch more videos the number of daily revision exercises you get seems to constantly increase. When I first started, I was getting 10-15 revision exercises a day, but after a few months it’s up to 120-150 a day which is incredibly challenging to keep up with. I haven’t found a way of slowing down this avalanche, short of just removing videos once I’m bored of them, which I don’t really want to do. I like the fact that it keeps a clear record of what I have done and been working on. I’m not sure if it would work for teaching you a language from scratch - the videos seem a bit too random / scattergun to provide the structured learning / progression you would need. I do also find the speech recognition a bit buggy - it seems to have odd moments where it repeatedly tells me “You said XXXXXXXX. That’s not quite right,” where XXXXXXXX is just a load of gibberish that I obviously didn’t say. Sometimes I have to just press continue to accept its version of events and move on. But all that considered, it’s still a good app, and I’ve broadened my vocabulary considerably by using it every day (ish) for 2-3 months. As I said, it isn’t really a standalone language learning app. Accept it for what it is - useful vocab, reading and listening practice - and use it alongside a structured classroom / learning course for the best results. And it’s way, way better than Duolingo.

I love FluentU because I can pose any unknown words to find out their meaning and learn and remember them. I also like quizzes after watching each video. If 80% of the year's payment is real after 2 week trial, I will definitely give 5 stars!

I like their content on blog, they are useful and informative. Their paid lessons are interesting too, but a little boring. I have to find motivation for learning.

Fluentu is the best place to learn new languages, but it's a little bit too expensive for Eastern Europe ppl :(

It is quite pricey but it does help. One of the better learning apps for sure.
