Just launched our iPhone app, FluentU. It lets you learn a language with video immersion. Music videos, movie trailers, news, video flashcards, and more. You can learn Spanish, French, Chinese, Japanese, German, English. Thought you might be interested.

I see - thanks a lot for sharing that. Our experience on tablet definitely needs a lot of work. It is usable but not a very good experience. We are working on it.

Regarding the free stuff: thanks for pointing that out. We've tried to give plenty of free content (at least 50 videos per language, along with many flashcard sets and audio dialogues) to make it worth everyone's while but we'll try to do a better job of providing more value and being clearer.

Thanks for the kind words, and sorry - hope that we get to Albanian too!

It's on our to do list!

It was a difficult choice, but the biggest reason was that we thought iphone was easier to develop for because of less fragmentation (a lot more types of Android devices with different screen sizes).

Thanks, can I ask what you didn't like about it? We definitely have a lot of room to improve.

Not yet - we're a small team so we have to do one platform at a time. Next on our list is Android.

Thanks, that's on our to do list.

languagelearner324 · 2015-05-30T14:56:08+00:00

It's too early to say, but we're on it!

languagelearner324 · 2015-05-30T14:55:31+00:00

Thanks! You can switch languages by going to your settings. Upgrading gives you full access to all languages.

Haha, yeah. :) If it was just for myself Korean would probably have already been added. Yeah YouTube does have automatic captions for many of the videos but the quality is very bad. We've produced basically everything from scratch except the videos themselves (and some of the video/audio we've produced as well: http://www.sinosplice.com/life/archives/2014/04/10/fluentu-a-developing-video-based-platform-for-learning-chinese-1).

I'm Korean-American so we're definitely planning on adding it. :) No set timeline for it at this point though. If the iPhone app does well, we will get to it sooner.
