Go Talk - Learn languages Reviews

Overall I felt like my little test run with GoTalk went smoothly. The fact that so many languages are offered makes this an absolute gold mine especially for someone wanting to learn more African languages like myself. Keep up the good work and expand on the offerings and make things more robust.

My one critique, is that the Easy Game of Tigrinya that I played went well but I didn’t have an English translation of what the words were. So aside from very obvious things like numbers or a glass of water I didn’t know what I was saying exactly. If all of the languages had an English (or whatever the learners language is) translation of what is being said it would really make this a top choice Language app overall. I do however love that words are written out phonetically in English.

Of course, I only did the free trial game so there’s no telling what the paid versions have. Btw, making this a Duolingo style app with the choice of subscription would also be great. I just wanted to relay that critique. Love GoTalk overall. Keep up the good work.

My husband is Laotian and his whole family speaks Lao. There is no Rosetta Stone for Lao and my husband is not a “teacher” so I decided I wanted to learn so I could communicate with the family and hopefully pass along some culture to our children. I started with the free version and checked the pronunciation and translation with him (native speaker) and when they were spot on and very proper, I upgraded to the full version and I LOVE it. There are so many words, very useful selection with matching images. I haven’t played the games yet with the full version but so far I am beyond impressed. I can’t wait to incorporate a few minutes of Lao practice a day and surprise my in-laws at the next gathering!

I’m really impressed with GoTalk. I’ve studied many languages in my life and find that GoTalk makes it very easy to learn and reinforce what you have learned in a very effective way. I’m looking forward to learning another language with the help of this program. It is well worth the money for the premium. I wish I could share with my family without having to repurchase for them. Family sharing does not work with GoTalk as it has in app purchases.
It’s an awesome app that I will recommend to my family and friends despite.

It’s awesome that you guys are providing sooo many languages including Africans languages. Most apps neglect African languages and only stick to standard European, Asian, middle eastern, and Latin American languages. I’m Nigerian and my language is yoruba and it’s hard to find that on an app especially when trying to perfect my language. I’m glad it’s not on every app because I don’t want everyone to easily learn my language and understand what I say but I’m glad that GoTalk is so inclusive. What makes me upset is what u have to pay. It’s dumb. Why pay so much just to learn. We should not have to pay to learn. Do premium yeah but for regular learning? Really?! Again that makes me a thad bit happy because it makes it even harder for ppl to learn my language but still. I’m tryna use GoTalk tf.

I have learned plenty from GoTalk, but needs some improvement; some of the phrases said by the male in Amharic are quite different than the female recording, this makes it hard to sort what is correct pronunciation. I have Ethiopian friends that also say often, “that’s not right”. I hope in the future additional every day used sentences are added. Update: I was contacted to provide specifics what is wrong pronunciation, I’m not. I’m not going to develop someone’s application. But I will tell you there is 3 ways in Amharic to say please1. To female Ebakesh 2. To male Ebakeh 3. Formal or elder respectfully Ebakewot. Many of the words on GoTalk address speaking in conversation to males. It’s a good app for very basic beginners but I still give it 3 stars

I am picking up a lot of new words. I recognize the phrases and pictures , but the memory and recall should be different. I find my self trying to remember where the pictures that disappear were and translating, instead of thinking in Basque and recognizing what I hear with the picture I see. This is my only criticism; otherwise, not bad. I also use Duolingo to learn another language. Duolingo doesn’t have Basque.

I got a message from developer today. I am a language teacher. I disagree that the memory game is meant to make you think in the language. It is simply a memory game, and it doesn’t help.

GoTalk is the first app that I have seen with Malayalam as an option and for it to be accurate and helpful. There aren’t many with these accomplishments. I have been trying to learn Malayalam for years since part of my family is from Kerala, and this is actually helping me. I checked in with my family and they say that it is accurate. So far, no complaints!

Great app to get an overview of a new language. I like the interface and great selection. It’s a nice quick reference and I enjoy learning little bits daily.

My only suggestion would be to selectively restore content if needed. For instance I have purchased 3 languages but only want to restore 2. Another option would be the ability to delete language packs if desired?

Cheers!

This helps me learn many different languages it’s awesome. So I was born English and GoTalk lets me learn all the possible languages. This is much better then asking google, Alexa, and Siri how to say something in Japanese. If you are looking for an app that teaches you languages, this is the one for you. I love GoTalk I will probably have it forever 😂 ~Leah

Hey it looks like your Afrikaans course is great, nice vocabulary (got the premium) love the learning style.
One thing your app is sorely lacking is a romance category, a must-have for anyone single or taken. I only took off one star because you guys did a nice job with the voice actors. Really nice hearing native speakers.

Please add a dating/romance section!! Otherwise we be out here sounding like google translate ᕦ(Ò_Óˇ)ᕤ

I I love this rogram! I wish you’d offer the advanced levels for free during the pandemic, so we could develop our language skills while were on lockdown and quarantined.⭐️

i give GoTalk a 4 star review because most of the apps i try to find, mostly cost money and it’s hard to find any but this is the right one but the reasons why i gave one away is because only one of them lets the person play but the rest will be money and it’s hard to ask you ASIAN parents to get an app just to learn some simple lao.

Horrible!! Not worth a penny.. Very little words and simple words most anyone already may know.. Like numbers, hello, goodbye.. Nothing more. Everyday words; table, store, foot...etc.. it doesn't have. Nothing to learn from GoTalk

GoTalk is still horrible when it comes to speaking / translating Sicilian!
The words aren’t all there and many come back as a blank box meaning it can’t find the correct word to translate English to Sicilian too.
Sicilian isn’t Italian - it is two different languages! And GoTalk doesn’t and can’t translate Sicilian!

This is a fairly nice app. The sound of the speech is clear. The interface looks nice and is responsive.
However, it is not always intuitive how to use it in different sections. Instructions would be helpful. Another helpful feature would be to save the language that you are currently studying so you do not have to select it each time.

I like how GoTalk doesn’t forcefully teach you the same things and words over and over again. Using our own voices to learn and recognize words is also very helpful.5 stars and good work!

I am learning Kinyarwanda. This is an amazing app. I am so connected to this language, as it is my native. Thank you for establishing a platform for me to further connect with my culture and become acquainted with my native tongue. 🖤. Please keep it updated and keep adding more content.

This is a great app to Learn Lao, but when you click on a phrase or word that you would like to learn, the program highlights the word above the phrase being said/shown. This is very confusing for my daughter. Hopefully they will fix this soon.

I love GoTalk. It's helped me work on my tonal pronouncements in a very tonal language. I can finally say husband with out accidentally swearing! Only issue is I recently attempted to put app in folder and now it forever says loading without going anywhere. Worried about uninstalling and then having to repurchase language. Web site didn't really address, anyone know if I uninstall will it make me re-buy the language?

Preparing for a trip to east Africa in a few months. GoTalk has everything u could want: games, flash cards, pronunciation practice, etc. I upgraded for little of nothing and it’s great

I just downloaded this. I purchased premium. The payment was immediately deducted from PayPal but I didn’t get access. Very disappointed.

Updated review. Their server was down. They rectified the issue and I now have access. I just started using GoTalk . Thank you for a speedy response UTalk.

I like the style of learning GoTalk offers. It makes you actually practice so that hopefully you won’t always need to use it. It’s how people used to learn languages before google! Plus the games are fun.
