I've heard about this app for years but never really thought it would work for me. How well do you think this would help me actually learn a completely foreign language if I only know English and am slightly a dumb dumb?
You use the app for like a basic knowledge, but then if you want to be fluent you must use more traditional material to expand your understanding
@JokeDeity @sabreW4K3 yeah even you can learn using the app. It's fun and easy, so you can try it out and see how you go.
But, it does take time and practice. If you don't put in, you get nothing out
Honestly it depends entirely on you and your preferences. This was easy for me because I'm competitive AF, so that was my motivation. But the flip side of that is that I'm learning just a few things. Like I've finished the course and roughly know when to use a bunch of words, but don't know what they actually mean.
English is my first and only language too BTW. Give it a try.
