Natulang vs
other apps

After a lot of Duolingo, I was looking for an app which focused solely on speaking. This was just what I needed.

I ditched Duolingo for many reasons, but also checked out a few others at the time I was looking for a replacement, nothing comes close to Natulang.

It is a stark difference to the competition. Everyone's like "Yay! Here's a medal 🥇 and a streak... and a puzzle piece... and a fanfare..." and Natulang is like "Sit! Listen! Speak!" 👩🏼‍🏫, but I noticed day after day I'm getting better and I can actually say something useful …

I like it because it reinforces stuff in my memory a lot faster than other methods I’ve tried. For example a week with Duolingo will have you saying The man drinks milk. A week with Natulang will have you asking directions and describing your emotional state.

This app also has more direct explanations of grammar concepts than I’ve found in any of its competitors, which is very helpful. … I quickly decided to purchase a lifetime subscription, which, at 100 dollars, is less than a year of Duolingo for far better content.

I found natulang much better than Duolingo because it is more conversational.

He probado muchas aplicaciones para aprender idiomas, sin duda esta es una de las mejores!! … En comparación con Duolingo, siento que esta app ofrece una experiencia más práctica y efectiva.

Translated from Spanish: I’ve tried many language apps, and this is without a doubt one of the best! … Compared with Duolingo, I feel this app offers a more practical and effective experience.

This app is fantastic. I did over 30 Spanish lessons I really feel that I'm learning. … ¡Natulang es mejor y más útil que Duolingo!

Translated from Spanish: Natulang is better and more useful than Duolingo!

You'd be surprised how many language learning apps aren't usable for people like me. I also appreciate that the phrases you learn are actually useful, and not just "The mouse is big." (Lookin' at you Duolingo).

I can’t rave about this app more. I’ll happily pay to actually learn a language. Don’t even bother with babbel or duolingo

What I like about it is it builds on high frequency words and uses natural sounding conversations. It uses voice recognition to check your answers. It builds up speaking confidence by blending previously learned words with new vocabulary and phrases. … Meanwhile, the babbel app never gets updated and I don't think it's as effective.

I am just a customer, who totally agrees that Natulang is a great follow up to Pimsleur. … Natulang is better than Pimsleur because it has voice recognition which means that you have to give a reasonably correct answer in order to make progress, and also that it knows the words that you get wrong and can bring them back to you using spaced repetition.

I have tried a lot of apps: Duolingo, Babbel, Busuu, Clozemaster, Pimsleur, Assimil, and a few more. … If I could go back, I would stick to just two apps: Natulang and Speakly. … Natulang is just a better Pimsleur (same idea of getting you to speak and recall phrases through spaced repetition, with a voice recognition to actually personalise the review).

Aplicativo excepcional. Muito superior ao Pimsleur, tendo todos os lados bons do último, porém mais barato e com mais recursos que interessam.

Translated from Portuguese: An exceptional app. Far better than Pimsleur: it has everything good about Pimsleur, but it’s cheaper and has more of the features that matter.

I started French from 0 with it and made faster progress than with any other app. Pimsleur would be my 2nd choice after Natulang, but I haven't used the app version of it, just the audios. I find Natulang much more engaging though.

I've done some Duolingo, Pimsleur, Say Something In, and Language Transfer. … The app is closest to Pimsleur, or other speech/listening spaced repetition audio you may have tried. However, it includes flash cards and targeted practice so you don't have to repeat sections as often if you're not confident.

I have a reasonable grammatical knowledge of German to an A2 level and have done weekly lessons, self taught lessons and intensive courses in Germany but still froze when I had to speak. This app and the Pimsleur app unlocked this fear.

Anki, Pimsleur, memerise, dreaming languages, language transfer, and Michel Thomas all don't have a way that they could tell if you didn't pronounce a word correctly so I think that Natulang is the best system that's available for the time being.

Gets you to speak like no other app I’ve seen. … Natulang isn’t gamified, keeping you solely focused on producing sentences in your target language.

This app is sooo good! Excellent work with the content and learning style. Just absolutely outstanding compared to all other language apps I've used.

In 95% der Übungen tut man das, wohin es laufen soll...Sprechen...Ich kenne bis jetzt keine andere App, die das zu leisten vermag und ich habe nahezu alles ausprobiert, was der Markt hergibt.

Translated from German: In 95% of the exercises you do what it’s all about… speaking… I don’t know any other app that can do this, and I’ve tried nearly everything on the market.

This combination—gradual sentence building, related variations, integrated review, and a final dialogue for context—is what makes Natulang more effective than Anki for my speaking practice …

Love this app. I have made more progress with Natulang than any other app.

I don’t normally write reviews and I’ve tried a lot of language apps and this is the best one I’ve used.

I have been studying Spanish for many years and the most important thing to do is to speak and that is missing in classes (only primary/grammar words are spoke), other apps or textbooks. Natulang gets you speaking immediately and remembers your progress.

I have done many apps etc over the years, but for speaking French, Natulang is the only thing that has helped me.

This is the first and the only speaking app that I am actually using on a daily basis! This is the only format that actually brought me to speak.

Also, with any free time (LOL), I used the natulang app. I found it to be the best app option for speaking.

I was always looking for the app like this where I could talk a lot. Most apps help you to learn some words and build spoken language understanding. This app actually makes you speak.

I’ve tried several language apps, but Natulang is really something else for conversational learning.

Перейшов за сотню уроків, подолав страх перед спілкуванням, збільшив словарний запас і вперше відчув, що вивчити іноземну мову можливо. Жодна система, чи підручник, чи інший ресурс з інтернета такого відчуття не давав.

Translated from Ukrainian: I’m past a hundred lessons, got over my fear of speaking, grew my vocabulary and for the first time felt that learning a foreign language is possible. No other method, textbook or online resource ever gave me that feeling.

Just started it after a year of learning Dutch on other apps and it is exactly what I was missing in my language learning.

The best of the speaking apps I’ve tried.
