Very helpful. The number of languages has increased. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I am currently trying to learn Swahili. I find it very effective. Hopefully one day there will also be Amharic.☺️

I really like this app. It's very interesting for those guys who are at very beginning of process and want to move to a foreign language congregation. I'm learning French and I can start a conversation in the field ministry

So far good experience with it. I found out you can switch between languages. I'm really happy I can learn multiple languages. And it also teaches about Jehovah too. And the grammar is very neat. Best language learning app, especially better than those language apps that need payment or have ads. I recommend this app for linguistic and spiritual food. Love it. ♥️♥️♥️ thanks Jehovah for this gift.

The Website is available in more than 1000 languages, but this language app is available only in 32 languages. Need to add at least 500 languages.

I just downloaded apo & It will not allow me to save my primary language (the save button on the bottom will not turn green for me to save). My operating system meets the requirement, shame it's not working for me.

I've been using this app for a long time now and the features are cool, and also I'm learning French, but I really wished I could also learn Spanish, but I can't, but I'm also grateful that I could learn another language all thanks goes to Jehovah 😀🥰🤓
