EDITED: My initial review talked of an issue, however, Sam in support has been nothing short of superb. Now onto the app. I love it, only had it just over a week but I can see how this will improve my terrible Spanish more than any other app that wants you to learn what an apple looks like! I actually want to converse with the pen pals, I make so many mistakes, but the corrections are explained very well. It's how you learn, make mistakes, make them again then it clicks, I hope lol. Great app

Thanks so much Paul - this review update made our day! Love your approach to using Sylvi, making mistakes again and again is exactly how it clicks. And thanks again for your help tracking down the mic bug, now fixed! Good luck with your español. Best, Sam 🫶

So far the best app for me to learn a new language. I started with duolingo and babbel to learn portuguese which are both also great apps, but this one is on another level. You have conversations with bots in the language you like to learn and the app manages to identify the major mistakes from the conversations and turn them into a lesson so you don't do the same mistakes twice. They also have weekly reports so that you can see your progress over time. Best app so far for me.

Thanks so much for the review Breyer! It means a lot to hear Sylvi's taken things up a level for you. Really happy the lessons built off the mistakes in your own conversations are landing - and glad the weekly reports are useful too; seeing the progress stack up over time makes such a difference. Boa sorte with your Portuguese! Best, Sam 🫶

I already have the knowledge and vocabulary of Spanish but really struggle with practical everyday conversations. Sylvi fills that gap and little by little I'm getting more confident with conversational Spanish. it allows me time to think of my answers, rather than panicking on the spot with what to reply! it also gives you a great breakdown of what you have said wrong and how you can improve. one of the best apps to get me talking that I've ever tried!

Wow thanks so much for the review Tara! It's brilliant to hear Sylvi's helping you close it between having vocab and being able to use it in conversation. Glad the breakdowns of your mistakes are useful too. ”Buena suerte with your Spanish! Best, Sam 🫶
