I’m writing to thank you Brothers for helping me to learn to practice Spanish preaching. My parents are Hispanic and I never really learned to speak Spanish until about 5-6 years ago. This app helped a lot to learn essential words for preaching and what to say. Thank you very much! Thank you! I’m writing to thank you Brothers for helping me to learn to practice Spanish preaching.

A great way to learn a new language. Are you going to be adding more languages? I wanted to learn Hawi’i ‘ōlelo hawai’i and hawai’i pidgin. For now, I’m giving Korean a try. Thank you so much.

The grammar is very interesting and helpful for beginners to see how to formulate sentences which can be used by those with smaller or more expansive vocabularies. The picture portions are very helpful in remembering the words. Before the app existed I found games to be a very effective way to learn but they had limited content beyond the basics. This is amazing! It covers basics and deeper vocabulary terms and phrases for advanced students. I particularly like that games can be done in different ways so that each learner can practice on what is the most difficult task for them. I highly recommend using this! Thank you so much! The settings to adjust the speed is perfect. This app is made with the clear goal in mind to help you learn and USE the language. For those trying to learn a language not yet supported on this app, mimicking your study of the language based on what is listed on this app with the other languages has been a useful tip. The information contained in this app is extremely practical and is the type that is used daily by those learning a foreign language as one of Jehovah's Witnesses. The ability to play audio for the phrase and not just read it is great! This app is a tremendous undertaking and the thought and care that went into developing it is overwhelming. It's truly appreciated that this app helps you not just preach in that language but really and fully function as one of Jehovah's Witnesses in that new language. For instance, phrases like "we will now watch this demonstration" are extremely difficult to learn in foreign language groups/congregations that have no native speakers or very little published literature. So, having it on this app is wonderful. I really like that you can choose any of the languages as your primary language instead of just assuming it's English. In a pinch it can used as a conversation translator. If someone doesn’t read their own language and you do not speak their language, you can press play to the audio and it speaks for you. So, having it downloaded in languages you don’t speak is helpful even if you’re not trying to learn it. I'm truly grateful to those who worked so hard on this. Fantastic for language learners!
