GBMostly Pros, and a few Cons Pros: I love the immersion method, the ability to navigate back and forth through different word groups and the ability to download on multiple tablets and use the little kid mode for my toddler while still having access to big kid mode for my older child. Cons: Ok so the movies zooming around and changing channels are kind of distracting, and the ongoing music is annoying. I do want my kids to get repetition of Spanish language but the music and dizzying video is over the top. My kids won't use it more than 10 minutes at a time. The other negative aspect is just the price. I can see a lot went into developing the system, but I'd love to see a significantly lower price for year membership.

GBI’m learning Portuguese on Duolingo but… I’m learning Portuguese on Duolingo but after several months in and a purchased 1 year subscription I am told that it isn’t in fact Portuguese from Portugal I’m learning but Brazilian Portuguese. No sign of European Portuguese available any time soon either. Duolingo is very effective though. It makes practice fun.

GBPictures are not clear as to what they represent. Thought this would be great for my daughter, but it was clear right at the start that the pictures weren't clear to even know what they were supposed to be. There were dogs & cats, a dog with an arrow pointing at its head, a cat licking it's paws but when learning a new language, you need to know exactly what you are looking at when your native language isn't referenced. There was no way this was going to work for my children.

GBI started using this app in 2020 I started using this app in 2020. After a year I quit using it. I have not used it for over 2 years and failed to notice that they had billed me last year. This year however i did notice on Jan 4,2024 the $119 charge to my credit card. It is atrocious that a company would not notify you of an upcoming billing giving you the option to opt out - especially for a $119.00. I would never recommend this product and am complaining to the Better Business Bureau.

GBNeeds more options for intermediate and advanced users It would be great if there were different levels ie beginner, intermediate and advanced. My son already has a lot of experience, so most if the lessons are too easy for him and really just a review. He loves the videos and games, it's a shame it's not more challenging for him.
