## Description

American English by Nemo turns your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch into your personal English tutor. It offers essential words and phrases with native speaker audio, and the Speech Studio helps you train your accent—record yourself, compare with the teacher, and watch your pronunciation improve. All audio downloads to your device for offline use, so you can practice anywhere, even without internet or roaming fees.

With a personalized, flexible approach, Nemo tracks your progress across every word and phrase. You choose what to practice, dive into what you want to learn, and enable Review Mode to reinforce memory. The app uses flashcards and audio descriptions to build long-term familiarity, focusing on the most common words and practical phrases for travel, food, shopping, directions, and daily conversations. No prior English knowledge is required, making it beginner-friendly and easy to use in small, real-world sessions.

## Review summary

Users praise Nemo for clear, effective pronunciation-focused lessons and an overall enjoyable learning experience, with a free version available. The main drawbacks are the persistent English-French baseline limitation, billing/subscription issues with poor support, and language/TTs bugs that ignore device language settings. These recurring problems drive most negative feedback.

### Pros

- Improves pronunciation and spoken English for many users.
- Clear, didactic lessons that are easy to understand.
- Generally positive user experience and enjoyment of the app.
- Free version is available and accessible to users.
- Helpful for non-English speakers (Spanish/Portuguese/French speakers) to learn English.

### Cons

- Baseline language is locked to English-French with no option to switch to other languages.
- Billing and subscription problems, including being charged after attempting to cancel, with complaints about customer support.
- Language/TTs bugs and misalignment with device language (e.g., Cantonese/Mandarin mismatch; English-French practice persists when system language is English).
- Repeated reports that settings cannot change the French baseline or fix language issues easily.
