This app has over 60 categories to choose from with helpful vocabulary and phrases. I already speak, read, and write Thai, but this app is helping to fill in vocabulary gaps. Also, I love the recall section where you test your pronunciation against a native speaker (both male and female recordings). The microphone doesn’t lie! If you are buying this for mass sentences, syntax, or fluency in a language, you will be disappointed. Check out glossika instead. However, if you are looking for helpful vocabulary and you want to work on your accent, this is a fun app to accomplish those goals. Oh yeah, I just bough the Thai language for $40.99 and thinks it’s a better deal over all.tsunami8705iPhone  
If I'd had this at school maybe I would've paid more attentionRichard ParrettiPhone  
This app really helped with learning French just a few weeks before my holiday, I was able to download French and continue using the app without a network connection which came in extremely handy on the plane and when out and about without WiFi. And no annoying ads!danI1992iPhone  
I'm learning Esperanto and this app is fun for teaching you the basics of the language! Great learning tool for Esperanto! I recommend it for learning Esperanto! The memory game is quite challenging!Joey LAndroid  
You know how the other voices are like a robot wow that helped me with Macedonia! I hope the developer see’s this and reply’s btw just a messeage to the owner :he did great working on this app. Great I downloaded this app it’s really helped me I hope I can learn different languages later throughout my life. Btw I just want to say about the coins how do you get coins because I’m quite new I only got this last night so woah I got a lot of words in a night!Agln323iPhone  
I cannot stress how much I love this app! When I began learning Japanese I didnt know utalk existed so I had to use the silly inaccurate free apps which didnt help whatsoever. Then, when I found utalk my life was saved! Thank you so much!Videos By Rainbow RockerzAndroid

This app has helped me a lot and has allowed me to communicate better with foreign relatives that I wasn't able to before! It doesn't cost anything to do one language but you do need to pay for any others, but it is still very helpful!Lovin the tranceiPhone  
Kurdish (sorani and kurmanji) were good! Thanks
