I just found this app today and lost a chunk of my day playing it, it is super well done and I cannot wait to see its continued growth, I already signed on for life and I am cheap lol I love that I get to be creative with my sentences and I can challenge myself as much or as little as I want to. Some peoples clues are really funny and it encourages me to not only think in Spanish, but to do so with creative flair because it engages my intense need to try and be funny or clever with my hints lol Check it out, there are many different price points including free.

Amazing app for practicing a language after having a little bit of an introduction. It helped me a lot making me more comfortable speaking a foreign language, without having to take an actual class.

I'm one of the Welsh learners on Polygloss - there are lots of us, many migrated from DuoLingo I think. It's dead easy to use, and 'addictive' but in a good way - there's no pressure, you just feel stimulated to keep using it, writing something in your target language to keep the conversations flowing (you earn a 'reward' if someone else appreciates your creativity). And it also feels good to pay back by helping those less fluent, if they make an error.

@etiene_dalcol Polygloss is one of the few apps I've ever paid for. Part of the reason actually is that I did not feel pressured to do so. On the other hand, it is so great that I guess I'd pay even if I was forced to do so, albeit probably more reluctantly. I second what has been said already: I've also never run out of points and it would have been ok if I did and felt a bit more pressure to pay.

@jayde_m Hi Jayde! I'm really happy you found us today and I deeply appreciate the support 💖 First sale of the day 🎉

@etiene_dalcol I hope some of my language friends will become more sales for you soon! :D keep up the great work.

I'm so impressed by the continuous growth and development of the app. If anyone is yet to try it, the absolute highlight for me is the design of the app, that supports any language, also languages with low-resources that are spoken by smaller communities and that are traditionally excluded from the bigger apps out there. It also attends to the gap between language comprehension and production, which anyone who has ever tried to learn a language knows that it is the biggest chasm to cross. I learn Italian and perfect my German thought it, as well as check periodically if anyone is learning Macedonian to correct their input or pair with them.

@tamara_atanasoska Thanks for the support, Tamara. It means a lot! Making it accessible to minority languages is really important to me 💖
