"Learn languages completely free, without ads or hidden charges. It's fun, easy, and scientifically proven." So, this is what the site I'm posting claims to do, this website is really useful for those who are looking for something entertaining, useful and easy to use, it's a good way to learn! You also have the possibility to access to the app from your cellphone, the only thing to do is download it from your whatever phone store. I sometimes like to spend my free time, while sitting in the train back home from University, using this app, it's really intuitive to use and it has a lot of interesting topics to see and practice. You can definitely improve your vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation also! A note: You have the possibility to start from zero to learn any language, but if you prefer, like in the English learning case, you can skip all the initial lessons and directly go further by skipping initial unities. Since I've used and I am still using this app, I really recommend trying it out and it really comes handy for all the languages we are learning in our University. If you're having any trouble in running the app or understanding how to use it, please feel free to ask me any question you might have!
