GBTantalizing TV & Movies I really enjoyed navigating thru Lingopie's extensive movie/tv selections. All of the different movie/tv genres were right there at my fingertips. It was refreshing to watch shows from other countries. Not only was using Lingopie entertaining but it was also educational. It really helped me in my quest to understand French.

PRI've tried them all... I've tried Babbel, Rosetta Stone, DuoLingo, etc and honestly found all of them to be frustratingly bad. I also tried watching NetFlix in Spanish with English Captions on, but found the translations tend to paraphrase vs spell out what's actually being said so it's not great for learning. LingoPie's captions are accurate, allow you to pause on words you don't know, determine the speed at which people are talking, etc, etc. LingoPie also offers instruction with live teachers. I don't know of a single online platform that can even touch Lingopie when it comes to learning Spanish.

GBItalian TV and music rocks!!! Watching great TV programs and listening to songs is a great way to learn Italian. I have been learning Italian for a few years now and this has to be about the most enjoyable way I have found so far.

GBFrustratingly glitchy......Has potential though I love the idea of this app and I think it could really help you improve your language skills especially if you are at the intermediate level. However, and this is a BIG however, the app is extremely glitchy. I constantly am having issues regardless of whether I use my Google Pixel phone, tablet or try to cast to my brand new LG TV. NOTHING works as it should. I even bought a chromecast for my new TV and I am still having issues. I was able to cast but the quality of the videos was poor and it showed but English and Spanish subtitles even though I chose only the Spanish ones. I have probably spent at least 15 hours trying to figure this all out but to no avail. So frustrating because I do think this has potential.

GBElevate with Lingopie I started using Lingopie to elevate my French. I have been stuck at A2 level for a while. Watching the tv shows then carefully learning the dialogues helped me improve my listening and vocabulary. You won't learn by simply sitting back and watching once. Watching and reviewing the content, taking notes and participating in lessons help move you to the next level.
