The quiz sections are the most successful I've seen to integrate spaced learning of vocab, and not be bored out of your mind. The power of seeing an actor speak, hearing their pronunciation, and linking it to the Chinese character re-enforces learning. It is challenging and makes you think about how the Chinese language works.

I am loving FluentU. At first I was a little hesitant about the price, though I understood why the price was higher, since this was all done by a person. I figured I would try the free trial. After two days it became my favorite learning tool, and I have a lot of French apps and books. It's amazing to hear the pronunciation and see... Continue reading

In only 4 months, I've gotten to a comfortable A2 level in German thanks in large part to my practice on FluentU! I'm actually entertained by studying when I use it; it doesn't feel like work!

I really like learning with the videos. I have studied using other methods and it was very hard to put what you were learning into context. With the videos, not only are you learning new vocabulary, you are seeing how it is used. For example the tone which is used, the body language of the person using the phrase and the reaction to...

I love the videos that allow us to use our listening skills. The real life conversations force us to listen and try to understand the language coming at us. So very different, from knowing what to say then trying desperately to understand the reply! Also we are able to tap the word in the dialogue and it shows the meaning along with... Continue reading

I am enjoying FluentU. I have been using this site for a couple weeks and I have definitely noticed a huge improvement in my vocabulary. I love that it uses a lot of relevant clips like Norman fait des videos to practice REAL French, and it is presented in such a fun way that it makes it easy to practice. Using this site has become part of my daily routine.

I've learned a little Spanish vocabulary growing up in Texas, but not enough to speak it, by far. Within a week of working on this program I am able to form sentences. I find rote memorization to be extremely difficult, but FluentU helps me to apply what I'm learning so quickly, it doesn't feel like dreadful memorization, it feels like yo soy una alumna del Español!

It's the program I've always wanted, because when I try to watch Spanish clips on youtube a lot of the time the subtitles are wrong. Even if they're right, I always have to have google translate open at the same time anyways and look things up when I don't know them (which is unfortunately still quite a lot). I love that the...

I love that FluentU uses real content from a diverse range of French media sources and that both the French and English translation are given as subtitles. It's also incredibly convenient to be able to hover the mouse over an unfamiliar word to get a definition while viewing videos. I'm struggling to think of any criticism as it really is an amazing resource.

I just started taking a German course for a requirement for graduating college this summer, and this app has really helped a lot. It has a fantastic breakdown of the Grammar and truly understanding tough topics such as the Nominative and Accusative case; which is really tricky in German. Excellent app, highly recommend for anyone... Continue reading

I love how I get to see videos, listen to music and learn about real and relevant aspects of the Chinese culture. I enjoy seeing faces in those videos of actors and people that I can recognize from other programs outside of Fluent U -which again tells me that the materials I get are relevant in the real Chinese/Taiwanese culture!

I love this app! It's a powerful language learning tool that is also fun. Short of true immersion and conversations with native speakers, watching and listening to French commercials, kids videos, etc. is the next best thing. The interactive transcriptions and tutorials are great and easy to use.

I like the design, it's simple and elegant. The content is extremely helpful. I was able to pronounce my first sentence in German after watching about 10 videos.

I have been trying to learn Mandarin for quite some time. I have tried a lot of programs but they all seemed to fall short somewhere and I would give up. FluentU's program has met all of the shortcomings I had experienced before. The program covers everything I am looking for in my learning; new vocabulary, structure and hanzi all at my own slow but steady pace.

Pairing word repetition with actual French speakers is more challenging and makes the language stick to a geezer brain like mine.

Fluentu is an amazing platform for learning languages! Its system is intelligent, intuitive and focused on the learner's real needs. The videos and their subtitles are the most amazing feature of the website, allowing you to stop/resume the video in real time if there's a word you don't know. Also the flashcard system is great for... Continue reading

The best thing about Fluentu is that I can watch content and see the subtitles. It's a much more efficient way to study and not only does it help me to understand what is being said, but also it helps me to remember the Chinese characters subconsciously. The more I watch videos, more characters I remember

If you want to study Chinese, this is the app you've been looking for. There's something for everyone at every level. Studying Chinese particles can be a pain because they depend on context, but with this app, just tap on the word and a variety of examples clarify the meaning. And on top of that, you're watching real content intended for native speakers!

What helps me the most in FluentU is the video content. Being exposed to naturally-spoken Chinese is the best defense against a language growing rusty in my experience.

Mandarin Chinese isn't really a language you can learn just from books; you need to hear the words in context over and over again before they finally sink in. Videos are great for that, and the active subtitles make for even better in-depth learning.
