Sorry for the inconvenient experience. We hope to get another chance and you'll have a much better experience in our app.

You can actually set the chat settings to automatic recording and even decide after how many seconds of not saying anything, the message should be automatically sent. Just check out the chat settings on the top right ;)

The auto submit slider doesn't work for me (on Android) but I can imagine what it would be like. I don't think the Portuguese speech to text is good enough for the app to be usable hands free even if the slider did work. For example, it just transcribed

"Eu quero ir a assistir ao filme." (which is almost correct)

as

"Eu quero ia AA chistian ao filme."

These errors have to be corrected by typing.

you can always get the translation of the full message by pressing the icon on the right side of the chat bubble :)

Please send a message to [email protected], so I can help you out?

Thanks for the hint, We'll fix that!

When learning a new language, you should always go for Swiss guys. we have four national languages ;)

Did you already try out the guided mode? If not you can always switch in a conversation on the top left chat settings, by pressing on the cogwheel and then switching to guided. Hope this is something that could help you!

There’s definitely a gap for going from zero to something.

The guided conversation is too many words at once, it’s overwhelming. I immediately see a prompt to assemble two sentences from a list of words I don’t know without translations or hints. It’s the opposite problem of Duolingo drilling the same phrase a dozen times a day.

You actually can use the translator too in the helpers section.

Thank you for the hints! All of those are noted and will be fixed asap. We absolutely agree regarding the gamification :)

Thanks for your comment. We're constantly working on adding more languages, but we also want to make sure that we can provide you with excellent Quality in all languages we offer.

Thank you very much! We also think about implementing a phonetic tranliteration. This could be especially helpful for unrelated (to mother tongue) languages.
