The best thing about this app is the…great videos 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.

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!

It's simple and the material is easy… It's simple and the material is easy clear to understand. The course is great, fun for beginners and experience people that want to contuine to learn langusges. GREAT OVERALL. I recomment FulentU.

Quite close to "The perfect App" Quite close to "The perfect App". After years studying and teaching languages, I always say that there is not the perfect app, but FluentU is one of the most complete and engaging ones among all the apps I have tried (all the most popular ones). The selection of videos is accurate, and the feature of pausing to read transcription with translation and examples is great. Furthermore, the variety of written exercises is truly helpful, and the speaking tests in the mobile version make this app a great resource. The only thing I miss so far is a section with short stories to practice reading comprehension, but I have that in another app, so I keep learning with FluentU. Thank you!!!

FluentU takes up where others leave… FluentU takes up where others leave off. Other courses give introductory words, but doesn't really get involved like FluentU. One thing lacking is the speech part. Fluent should try to find a way for the customers to speak towards the program. Not only would it help retention, but it would also correct any mispronunciations.
