well, I think the development of this app could be worse, but also way better. I go from simple imagery matching to conjugated sentences without an introduction of any kind. the idea of trial and error is definitely visible here, but error over and over again does not help learning a language when you first start. I have experience learning languages as I have learned Chinese and Spanish. I self taught myself Chinese, and had a teacher for Spanish and neither was trial and error so constant.

Interesting app. I don't like the lesson structure. It seems to jump all over the place. There are a few simple lessons for beginners, then when you go to do speaking lessons, they teach things that were never discussed or taught. I wish there was a more gradual progression with the language for true beginners. Also, it doesn't go over katakana, hiragana, or Kanji but expects you to translate the sentences. Or, you can switch to romanji but that is never recommended by Japanese.

I think it's very well done. I wanted something for my phone & user friendly, Mondly is. Very effective in training your ear. Review is blended well with new material. I also like that you can bounce around and dive in to so many different areas. However, lessons can be overwhelming, grammar & structure not explained, demanding rote memorization. Early requests to translate full sentense, in writing, English=Japanese. Seriously?? Repetition & daily use is key. Star ratings vs other users is BS.
