50 languages Reviews

I don’t know how else I could have integrated as much Albanian studying into my life before I depart in 8 days, and the native speaker recordings are fabulous. But the further along you get, weird things crop up. Some of this is attributable to the fact that everything is translated from German. Luckily I have a decent grasp on German, so when the English says “they” but the Albanian speakers are using second person plural, I know it’s because they’re the same in German. Sometimes the speakers break from the script, and I’m inclined to trust them over what’s printed. In lesson 90 there’s a typo in Albanian, where it writes “moj” instead of “mos.” 50languages is a very useful supplement to studying a language rather than the answer to one’s language learning dreams. As other reviewers point out, there are no lessons about structure and grammar apart from what you can absorb from the phrases. Take it for what it is, though, and make the most of hearing native speakers.

I overall love 50languages , however it could use some improvements. I’ve been using 50languages to help me learn the Thai alphabet, but there’s a couple of things it could do better. It doesn’t say if the letters are high, middle, or low class and while they do have native speakers saying the actual letter it would be nice if they had example words so you could hear how it sounds in an actual word. The consonants are the only letters that are really in the alphabet, but I would still appreciate it if they had a separate section for learning the vowels. But overall I love 50languages .

This is a great product! When I learn other languages, I forget the last one I learned. This helps me to review all of the languages I want to, and even explore others!

It’s really an amazing app to improve the language you wanna learn . I wish the developer could add a frequent play for each lesson . Many thanks

Hi, I have downloaded all of the audio files and still when I close 50languages they got lost and I have to download them again, what can I do to solve this issue?

It took me over a year to find this resource and I am thrilled to have it.

Better than any other app for learning new languages. I love it’s UI . I wanna say thank you to it’s developers

This is a great app for learning a language. The lessons are set up in a way that you learn more conversationally than didactic.

This is a wonderful app with many tools and plenty of content to help you learn literally 50 languages. Honestly? I’m in awe.

One of the few apps that have Kazakh. 👍

I did not expect 50languages to be so great, but it is an amazing app with all the languages and choices! I love it! It would be awesome if they could add Cantonese

I just purchased 50languages but I’m not able to be on it for more than a few minutes. it’s keep crashing

I purchased the full version for $10 only to find out that the developer still won’t allow you share in-app purchases for Family Sharing.

Do not get scammed.

Don’t have simplified chinese

If I could give a ten star rating, I would!!!!!!

I'm learning Ukrainian and most of the word phrases are spoken way too fast for a beginner to understand. There is no option to slow the speech.

Nice programming and I wanted to learn a language but this the only game I could find

Perfect combination of vocabulary and pronunciation.

Great app but it freezes and crashes constantly!

Thumbs up!

It’s easy to use and really really practical

Great language learning app!

I use 50languages to learn Hebrew and it’s been wonderful - most of the time. Except when there are mismatched translations on vocabulary lists. Ex. So the picture of a “dog” might have the right Hebrew word attached, but the (native speaker) pronunciation being played for it is that of a unrelated word i.e. a “train”. So if you want to be 100% sure you’re memorizing the correct pronunciation for each word you have to check it against other sources like google translate etc. and look at the vowels.

I wrote to the staff several times using “contact us” feature from within 50languages , but there was no response and no fixes in following updates, and this was several app updates ago, so maybe over the last 4 months or so?? At least there are updates coming out, 50languages isn’t completely dead, right?

Also, while I’m on it - the transliteration is complete garbage, it’s using some garbled characters and is not even readable. Again, I’m using English as primary language and trying to learn Hebrew.

Besides these two issues 50languages is amazingly stable, the voice reading by native speakers is amazing, sometimes hard to understand like the volume is too low or sounds like they’re talking in a bathroom or they speak too fast so you have no idea what they said, or they “swallow” the last part of the word, OR they add the (in)definite article to the word, or pronounce the plural vs the singular version being displayed, etc... Besides that, it’s still very useable. I’m primarily using the Vocabulary lists feature as it shows a picture opposite the translation in a list format which is very handy imo. Oh and it would be super awesome if the Hebrew words had vowels attached to them or at least the option to trigger their display on or off.

So overall - Thank You, keep up the good work and perhaps fix those few issues, as I’m seriously considering paying for 50languages . And thank you for the ads not being overly intrusive. A solid 4 Stars at this point, full 5 when I see these issue stated above being addressed. Thanks!!!

👍 nice
