Taalhammer

I love the concept but the AI model seems subpar. The generated stories are often very formally written and dry. They don’t test conversational Spanish the way that it is spoken in day to day speech. Integration with Google Gemini or ChatGPT’s latest models wouldn’t dramatically improve the experience and easily turn this into one of the best apps around for language learning

I love the concept and this method has the potential to be truly outstanding for acquiring a foreign language effectively and efficiently. But, there are just too many mistakes already at the beginner level in German. For example: Das ist ihre Schule. Es ist ihre. The second sentence is so wrong, I had a hard time believing my eyes. Novice German language learners can spot it. The creator of the app clearly did not do the proper quality assurance with a native speaker. I found other mistakes too and reported them. If these issues are fixed, this would be a great app that uses the efficiency of the Glossika method, but without the random sentences and the audio quality issues that plague Glossika. I’m looking forward to an error free version of Taalhammer for German.

This app is one of the best language learning apps on the market. It uses SRS (Spaced Repetition System) really well, helping you ingrain info better than apps like Duolingo, Memrise, Babbel, or Busuu. The method here is cool - they use SRS with sentences, not just individual words, so you get more context and are more likely to memorize and use the words. They also begin to combine sentences you’ve memorized into short stories you can play on the go, reinforcing what you've learned. They're adding tons of new features, have more languages than other apps, and a simple interface. You can even use AI to build custom decks based on your preferred topics. Overall, it's one of the best ways to learn - and I've tried almost every app out there. This is probably the only language learning app that doesn't need to be combined with other apps to be complete.
