EWA English Language Learning Reviews

by Far_from7

I want nothing more than to rave about EWAEnglishLanguageLearning, but unfortunately, despite having purchased a year long sub package, I have been unable to use it for more than 2 hours total in the 6 weeks Ive had access to it. Shortly (or more frequently immediately) after opening EWAEnglishLanguageLearning and trying to navigate ANYWHERE, I get kicked to the page asking me which sub package I would like to sign up for to use the 3 day free trial. I bought the year package back in mid June. I have tried submitting a ticket, however, EWAEnglishLanguageLearning will not let me send the report and gives me a message that “the team is aware of the issue and is already working on it”. I fail to see how that is possible, seeing as I haven’t been able to send the ticket in the first place. I was then prompted to give a review, and sent in details regarding my issue and not only has the issue not been fixed, I haven’t so much as been contacted by anyone that the issue is even being addressed.

Mind you, I am not using the free trial. I paid $100 for a year. My hope is that SOMEONE will get back to me about this issue so I can actually USE the product that I have PAID for, but I am running out of patience. For what its worth, the little I have been able to use EWAEnglishLanguageLearning , I was extremely pleased and impressed with the product. It has the potential to be an incredible learning tool….IF I EVER GET THE CHANCE TO ACTUALLY USE IT

When you are going through the initial set up of your account, they ask you lots of questions which makes you feel like the content you were going to get access to his tailor-made to what your level has and what your goals are. Unfortunately, after I upgraded to the $15 per month whatever… I was only given access to a bunch of beginner courses. I sent them a message two days ago to see how I can be switched up to a more challenging level of difficulty so that the exercises will actually be worth my time. I’ve yet to hear anything back. As of right now, I have spent about 20 minutes going through pretty simple exercises to teach me very very basic things like how to say “me “ “you” or them or us. Awaiting support….

Starting out, EWAEnglishLanguageLearning asked what your age category is. I chose under 18, since I was checking out EWAEnglishLanguageLearning for my kids to practice their Spanish. I was very interested in the interactive reading and media usage. However I was greatly disappointed that the media clips used even in the first couple levels had clips from movie scenes for mature audiences, likely rated R movies. I’m so glad I decided to screen EWAEnglishLanguageLearning before handing it to my kids! One scene had two supposedly nude people on top of each other (no body parts shown, but intimacy is implied), and another scene were a couple under the bedsheets together (nudity under the sheets is implied). Obviously not ok for children. There should not be an “under 18” category if these are the types of clips used. I don’t even appreciate them as an adult.

Also, I tried looking through the books, wondering if that was salvageable. I’m a fluent Spanish speaker. Nope. It mis-translated words in the first chapter I read! The book used the word “tardar” which was translated as “take” or “learn”, but it means “to tardy”, and it’s obvious from the context it was incorrect, too.

I’m greatly disappointed, and I’m grateful that they offered a free trial. I won’t be using this service. Loved the concept, but poorly executed and misleading.

This has SO much potential to be incredibly powerful, but it seems like they went for quantity over quality of content. Yes, there’s 1000s of books, but the translations aren’t quite right. A lot of easier books are meant to include pictures that are essential to comprehensions and those have all been omitted. The tool to look up individual words often gives different definitions than what’s being used in the context of the sentence and it doesn’t make sense. EWAEnglishLanguageLearning seems like a good idea (and is!) but it’s poorly executed. If more care was taken to develop fewer resources at a higher level, this could easily deserve 5 stars. I’m excited to see how it improves over the next few years.

I tried out the free trial and love the idea of learning a new language while reading some of my favorite classics. But still I had to have Google translate open to help me out. Some of the vocabulary translations made no sense in the context of the sentence and when double checked with Google translate, I realized the definition was wrong or the word could be translated that way but not in this context. I also was hoping every word would be available to tap on for vocabulary but some significant and confusing words were not available as vocabulary. I definitely would not pay for a subscription for this until the tweaks get fixed. Lots of potential in this program it’s just not there yet.

by MikeBlyth$

Maybe the beginners’ lessons are OK, but the books are of limited usefulness. The selection appears to be limited to public domain works (including scanning errors) and, at least for the easy books, consists mainly of translated English and French stories and books.

As others have said, the pop-up translations are very often wrong, useless, or absent for the very words where they are most needed. I have to look them up on Google Translate or DeepL. So all in all, I may as well just choose some available texts and go through them using one of those tools.

It’s a good idea, but needs more work. Why not just link each sentence to DeepL, or to the original English sentence?

As you know there are many dialects of Spanish. EWAEnglishLanguageLearning is AWESOME the way it is set up. As I was using it, I realized that it was very different from the Spanish my boyfriends family speaks (his family is from Mexico)... and I don’t want to learn a different dialect because the reason I’m learning is so I can communicate with them. So.. I still think EWAEnglishLanguageLearning is awesome, don’t get me wrong. But I have no clue what dialect these books are translated under, and it was really confusing reading them when what I already know is different from some of the vocabulary on EWAEnglishLanguageLearning. Unfortunately, I can’t use EWAEnglishLanguageLearning :/

by Doublexvision

Let me start off by saying I love the concept of the courses and really appreciate the books. Love that they have my favorites: Pride and Prejudice, and Jane Eyre. I’m surprisingly making good progress with The Little Prince. I’m learning French and even though I said I’m intermediate, the courses are all for beginners; subjects cover basic greetings, colors, numbers, days of the week… things any intermediate and advanced learner already knows. I clicked advance in my settings and saw none of the courses changed. I recommend Duolingo for a challenge. The only reason I’m not asking for my money back is because the books may be worth it.

EWAEnglishLanguageLearning is going to be great, I think it needs a little refinement but it’s definitely going to be a contender with Duolingo. I like how it has links to stories that you can read within EWAEnglishLanguageLearning , however I have noticed that when you click on the translations for words within the stories they’re not always correct. I’ve also noticed a sometimes the conjugations, and translations aren’t always correct during the regular exercises, but I’m sure they’re ironing out these issues. This is going to be a great learning app. A little expensive right now for not having everything ironed out but I think once they get the kinks fixed it’ll be worth the price no doubt.

This is not appropriate for kids (or even for a mom like myself). There are space aliens in lingerie/underwear, and people naked under the covers after obviously having sex in the movie clips. And that’s not even with the “show adult content” button and selecting that you are under 18! The lessons are generally good, however, there’s little room fo reinforcement of what you have learned later on. Wonderful idea, fun clips (besides the inappropriate ones, that was awkward when my son looked at my screen), but… needs progress and a way where you see what you’ve learned integrated into new lessons. Also, movie clips do not adjust enough to the age you put. Between ages “under 18” and the age range of 30’s, there’s no difference between the movie clips, which I find it not advanced or comprehensive enough for a whole $15/month.

It’s super great for learning and it’s for free! You do need to watch an ad before each lesson but they are short and in my opinion well worth the trade off. They have book at all different levels of fluency though I do wish to see in the near future some books with an easier fluency, for people just started out. If you are advanced or fluent there are also books for your levels. You can also press on words you don’t know to get their definition and you can also add them to your vocabulary of list of learning. But they also have vocab lessons and fun games to practice. You should check it out if you are looking for something free and to learn or even just improve your Spanish .

I have found EWAEnglishLanguageLearning really useful in its ability to help me expand my Spanish vocabulary.
The option to highlight a word Im unfamiliar with simply by tapping it to reveal its list of that word in english is so simple and efficient. All i have to do is tap the screen and im back to listening and or reading again. If your stuggling with a majority of the paragraph, simply tap the G icon to the top right of the paragraph, and the entire paragraph is translated to english. I find this very usefull for the more difficult reads. The only reason its not a 5 star is its lack of definitions for the words. But no big deal, i can always have
my ipad open to look for definitons. I’m grateful for EWAEnglishLanguageLearning and will recommend to friends who are looking to learn to speak and read j. Another language.

EWAEnglishLanguageLearning has great potential. I think the vocabulary lessons are very effective. The books would be better if you could slow the narrator down. I have been reading by myself first and then repeating with the narrator. The thing I find the most frustrating is that many of the words are not underlined, and therefore you cannot get a definition. In my case these were usually the words I didn’t know. And I it would be great if, once defined, you could ask for the declination (not sure that’s the right term) of the verbs to see all the tenses. And one more thing: it’s most important to translate entire phrases that have a different meaning than the individual literal translation of the words. For example, in English, “get off my back” rarely means someone is on your back; it means “stop bothering me.”

When I first downloaded EWAEnglishLanguageLearning, I was so excited because I think this is a really cool way to learn Spanish and I think it will actually help me. For the past two days, I've been learning vocabulary and exploring EWAEnglishLanguageLearning and there are a lot of concerns I have. I know there is maintenance going on with some features in EWAEnglishLanguageLearning , but I still wanted to bring up issues just in case they were overlooked. For one, some of the translations on the example sentences for new words don't match up. 2, I wish that the vocab words were pronounced with every translation question instead of every other question (or maybe add a button to hear the word's pronunciation). 3, when I clicked on a book to read and pressed to learn the vocabulary that I will see, every Spanish word is butchered with an English reading and I thought this was important to mention. I haven't clicked and experienced everything but these are some of the issues I had so far. I really love EWAEnglishLanguageLearning and it has a lot of potential. I think if done right, EWAEnglishLanguageLearning can help SOO many people and get great reviews. The yearly payment will have been worth it.

As an Special Education, ESL, and English Teacher, I am always seeking more education. I’ve used a few apps to try to learn new languages and brush up on the ones I already know. This is, hands-down, the most effective. It allows users to choose their learning style and this is a technique that is rarely seen in Education apps; but is extremely important. Every learner applies new information in a different way and when that information is available in fun, unique formats, it adds so much more value to the content. This is an A+ from me!

by SierraMist30

I hope to see more books added to EWAEnglishLanguageLearning that include more diverse genres but I know apps grow everyday and I will happily wait for updates. I used to pay for Duolingo and it was alright but I have learned so much more in EWAEnglishLanguageLearning. I think they take a different approach as to how they introduce words and at least for the way my brain thinks it works much better. If you have trouble with other learning apps give this one a try. I love it so much I pay the subscription since I am actively trying to learn another language to go out of the country.

by Cecy111

I love EWAEnglishLanguageLearning but I am South Indian and I was searching for Tamil or Telugu as a native language to select but it is hard for me since there is very limited option and I am forced to choose some other language just to get inside EWAEnglishLanguageLearning to see all the features and it’s hard for me to read. It would be better to have an option to select English so that it will help people who knows English but also wanted to improve their vocabulary and so on. Hope you get that option for fellow people like us. Thank you

im excited to use EWAEnglishLanguageLearning. i wish there were more movie scenes than just one chapter, and some translations of words aren’t exactly accurate, but overall it’s got so much content and when you are bored of learning one way, there’s a bunch of other options to switch over to. you can play games and compete, use flash cards, but most importantly, you can LISTEN and practice that way, which i feel is missing when you buy a textbook. it’s easier to feel comfortable speaking after using this!

by @dcunit3d

Learning a new language in terms of another foreign language that you need to improve is a secret to accelerating your acquisition of the new language. It forces your brain to work much harder because there is no info on screen (like subtitles) that allow your brain to “short-circuit the translation” to save energy. Your brain has no easy way out: it must consistently reinforce new pathways. This interlinks the two new languages, but at a deeper level than when learning one new language from English.

Definitely worth the $99 per year.

Although I am a busy person, I always want to read some English books some time in order to gain more knowledge. But every time when I grab a book I feel distract because it’s not my first language. Now I feel satisfy with EWAEnglishLanguageLearning because not only it can translate to my language(Vietnamese), I can listening to it while I am on the way. So I can take advantage of it listening to the book without boring at all. Thank you so much for creating EWAEnglishLanguageLearning. I really enjoy it.

by Peyton727919

I think the developer of this application is falsely causing excitement where there ought not be any!!! As a linguist I can tell you it’s extremely difficult nearly impossible to learn the easiest of languages in 4 weeks, much less English which is by far the absolute most difficult language in the world to learn. Yes,one may find themselves speaking very, very basic English in close to a year. But keep in mind the plethora of contradictory rules the English language has. Antonyms, Homonyms, Synonymous etc words that sound alike have a different meaning and are spelled differently and the contradictions go on and on and on. So keep your expectations in check so you won’t be lat down

by GunkaGunka

Application has several free books, but it does not allow you even to read one of them till the end. In the middle of the book it stopped opening, and continuously offers me weekly free try, after which there will be mandatory subscription, which is not cheap.

I recently downloaded EWAEnglishLanguageLearning and I got my seven days trial, I really like EWAEnglishLanguageLearning but I found just one thing I don’t like, there is no way to rewind and sometimes I really need to listen again to the paragraph, so I have to go out and restart the book... please tell me that you will add this improvement to EWAEnglishLanguageLearning , I don’t mind spending $100 every year, but this detail is very important to me and it really bothers me because I need EWAEnglishLanguageLearning to practice listening. 🥺🥺

by Barbara Faria

Hello, I'm loving EWAEnglishLanguageLearning , the methods really help me learn and fix English, but I've already noticed that in some exercises the Portuguese translation (my native language) is incorrect, other exercises are simply error-correcting, that the student misses even though he knows the correct answer. This is a constructive criticism, please correct the mistakes, some students may just not realize the mistakes and learn the wrong way!

by SpieIkind

I’ve just started using EWAEnglishLanguageLearning. I really like the idea but there’s still a lot work for you, guys!
The translations in books or other sections aren’t always correct or there’s no translation at all.
Learning with EWAEnglishLanguageLearning can lead to mistakes. Be careful when using it and double check translation with an external translator whenever you doubt.
But, there’s a lot of potential, the support does a great job and they indeed want to improve! I keep using it for now to see where it goes.
Keep it up!

I've tried many apps and this one makes it very simple to learn. I love the videos and they are actually funny too haha. Tried it for a couple days and decided to pay the $15 a month. Its my new favorite app and I actually get excited when I have free time to use it. I don't feel like learning Spanish is a chore now 😊

by Dimabepra

I have been using EWAEnglishLanguageLearning 5 months ago, and I just love it, because of the tactics to learn this languages, also I read “ The Miserables” books which I love it, because when I don’t know a word they have a dictionary, and that help me a lot to increase my vocabulary. EWAEnglishLanguageLearning is amazing, entertaining and interesting way to learn.

by Steefedge

by Monicapuentes

EWAEnglishLanguageLearning really is very good, I like the method learning, pronunciation, vocabulary with movies, another important stuff is that you learn to speak such a real native because when you join words the pronunciation sounds different and you can listen the audio again and again

by Pumpkin 🧸

I’m in love with EWAEnglishLanguageLearning. It’s the most awesome app of all times. I can practice my English in a very funny way like it’s a game and I’m also able to read classic books or listen to audiobooks at the same time I’m chatting with my friends using another app. I’ll give them 10/5.

by Docinhomal

I love this application, because for me, it does not have to be more complete, I would like you to have the option of other languages ​​with these options you have in this application, it would be great to learn other languages ​​with this method.

by SicarioUSA

Is a nice app is so helpful and I love it is interesting and funny at the same time, I love what did you guys do with the movies y better than another apps, the only problem I see is I have to pay 100 in a shot, anyway I love EWAEnglishLanguageLearning!

by Jjcc12345678

It’s very hard to find an accessible app you can learn easily while you play and entertain yourself doing every day lessons. The quality of EWAEnglishLanguageLearning is one of the best!!!
