With fluent you With fluent you, I enjoy learning a new language. I can do it in my own time. Set my level of difficulty. Words and phrases are authentic. With the Fluent You app, I can do it on my mobile if I am on the move or with the laptop at home. There is no annoying homework. Fluent, you are adaptive.

Too many technical flaws Like a lot of software now with good content, it is let down by poor implementation. Signed up today and already having major technical problems - app not working and website down. Simply not good enough.

Essential app in a language learning toolkit! Great videos and listening practice. FluentU is one of the best apps for learning new languages out there. It is all about the format. They have a huge library of videos containing movie clips, songs, little lessons, cartoons, and so on. Before you watch the video you are given a list of words that you can review a few times to get them into short term memory - so when you are watching the video you can actually understand the gist of what they are saying. It is a more natural way than just doing word lists or DuoLingo style lessons because you are actually learning to listen rather than recognize. On top of that they also have a more traditional DuoLingo style course with word and grammar lessons, but the power is in those videos. My current setup is using Human Japanese to get more in depth lessons on different words and grammar, as it has much deeper in a textbook style approach, with FluentU for listening practice and drills to memorize the material.

This is not a trustworthy company This is not a trustworthy company. If I could give them negative stars I would. They charged my account without any notice (yes I checked the spam folder) and because I wasnt expecting a $100 charge, my mortgage payment bounced and I had to pay a $45 overdraft fee on top of it! They say you'll get an email when your renewal date is approaching, but that's a lie. Also I've sent 3 emails to their support, as directed by their site, and have had absolutely zero contact from them. If you want to learn a language and need an app, don't pick this one. Go check out duo lingo or your local library and get a book. They don't rip you off.

An Indispensable Tool for Language Learners I've been using FluentU for almost 2 weeks now as an intermediate learner and it's been immensely helpful! Each video has correct transcription of what is spoken and has a natural English translation. The best thing about the transcription is that you can hover over any word and you will get its meaning in that specific context instead of two or more general meanings. Furthermore, there are also quizzes that help refresh your memory of relevant vocabulary and remind you how to spell words. Learning has never been more fun!
