I'm surprisingly pleased with this app! I downloaded it expecting to not find the language I wanted to learn (Tigrinya) and to my surprise they had it, and on top of that it is actually very accurate! My mother has corrected a few things that I would try to tell her, but for the most part the best $17 I've spent!

Not bad at all!

Those pictures are high quality, not mecanical voice, fun game. but the price is a little expensive... you have to pay about $19 each language you want to learn. I purchesed anyway, so I'll keep use this one though.

It's ok, could use improvement

I purchased the Slovak language. I was hesitant because it seemed a little expensive. I enjoy learning with this app but there are problems. With Slovak, it teaches you nouns but not the gender. It's pointless to learn the word without the gender. Some of the speaking lessons speak way too fast, even when slowed down. This is really frustrating with phrases. The individual words aren't taught, they just throw a whole phrase at you at once. I would like if each word was explained. The matching game is pointless. It doesn't teach you anything about the word except where you last saw it. It's a really good app but there's a lot of room for improvement.

An Armenian for Arameans

Jshmarid

So they've added Latin. That's Latin, Klingon, and Esperanto....but I digress. Anyway, after update so-and-so, the slideshow under the practice function crashes almost incessantly: super annoying. That's a major loss of functionality. ------- I have been using Utalk now for more than 5 years, and I can tell you that it is certainly one of the best apps available for basic language accommodation, and it is being constantly improved. In the midst of all of the obscure language offerings (e.g. Esperanto - an invented language), they have miserably failed to see their opportunity to provide support for endangered languages - more specifically, the most currently endangered language... Aramaic. Aramaic (Western/Suryoyo, Eastern/Assyrian, and Classical Aramaic) is in danger of disappearing from the face of the earth. Whole communities are being slaughtered in the middle east, and whereas the implications and repercussions thereof are much greater than that of just a language, the annihilation of those communities means the elimination of the center of language knowledge for the worldwide diaspora of Arameans. My language, Western Armenian*, was in danger of annihilation more than a century ago in the Great Christian Genocide, of which the Armenian Genocide was a part -- 1.5+million Armenians, 300-500 thousand Arameans, and tens of thousands of Greek and many other Christian ethnic groups in the Middle East were slaughtered. Thanks be to Almighty God and His Church that brave men and women were preserved and kept their languages to this day. The Hebrew language would be extinct had not the Lord returned his people to Zion and given them a hero to revive their language. Now, Utalk has the opportunity to be one of those new heroes for the Aramean community worldwide. If any of the Utalk developers are reading this, feel free to contact me or a Maronite, Eastern Aramean, or Aramaen Pentecostal Church, and I am sure you will find all the help you need to make this a reality -- and some great people too!!! Let's defeat at least one of ISIS' goals and preserve the language of this ancient people!!!! This is your opportunity Utalk, take it!!!!!!! yAnun Yisusi Qristosi Hisusi Anunov Hisusi Anvampn Bshem Yeshua HaMashiach Bshmi Yshua Mshikha Bsm(i) Yesuah(a) AlMesiah(i) En el Nombre de JesuCristo In the Name of Jesus the Messiah Amen Amen Amen <*Utalk's 'Armenian' offering is actually Modern Eastern Armenian - the dialect of appx. 18-19th century Ararat, influenced by Modern Yerevanian Dialect. This is the language spoken in what is left of Armenia proper, after the genocide. Western Armenian was dispersed after the genocide and thus is the predominant language of the diaspora>

It's too picture dependent

I hope you don't plan on writing in any foreign language you intend to learn from this. It depends way too heavily on pictures. It's fine if you're combining it with other language learning software i.e. Duolingo, Memrise, and Mango, but alone? Forget about it.

Excellent app!

I love uTalk. I have purchased many of their premium languages, and they're great. Here are a few ideas I think might make this app stand above the rest: 1. If you have more than one language on your list, their should be a study option where ALL languages can be studied at the same time. You'll get random phrases and words from the languages purchased. It'll make studying more challenging and interesting. The algorithm will continue drilling you on the wrong answers, so that won't change. And it'll indicate what language it is. 2. More related sentences/words one might use in the country itself. 3. More words like, spoon, fork, etc. 4. More sentences. 5. This might not happen, but simple grammatical explanations that can't be ignored. That's all for now. I could only see this app getting better... I hope. Great job, guys!

Pretty good

Pretty good, but you need some. We basic improvements: 1 - Allow users to highlight problem words, to create their own lesson. Then all the words we have trouble remembering can be in one place, and we can study those. 2 - When teaching sentences, tell us what each word means. Don't just give us a full sentence and the translation. How does that help us learn the language?
