Speechify is absolutely brilliant. Growing up with dyslexia this would have made a big difference. I’m so glad to have it today.

italki reviews

One of the things that caught my attention in italki were the teachers, most of them are kind and intelligent people who do their job, they have everything previously well planned and offer a good teaching plan which if you follow it to the letter you will certainly learn what they are teaching you.

- Garrison C. Creative director

It is easy to pick the right teacher for you, contact them and book a class if you like their method of teaching.

- Mohd Elfie Nieshaem J. SEO Specialist

The negative part would be that the teachers take a long time to answer your questions because they are busy with other students and it is quite annoying.

Yabla reviews

Yabla has videos that are current and relevant. Utilizing real language that is relatable to students is great so that they stay engaged. There are different levels of videos, so some are perfect for beginners, while others are more advanced. Having captions is nice for the reading component.

- Joanne R. Special Education Teacher

For foreign language learners, in my view, Yabla's multiple and multiple kinds of videos from native speakers fill the gap between the usual grammar/vocab courses - such as are usually taught in Anglophone schools/univs etc - and real live German radio/television/films etc. Even with the best of grammar course, this gap is too wide to bridge without some intensive work with material and exercises of the kind offered by Yabla - in fact I don't know of any alternative for this particular stage of language learning.

You don't make corrections to obvious mistakes. I can't recall the date of the experience.

Pros & cons

italki

Pros
I can arrange my own schedule which is great
I can choose any teacher I want
The customization of the profile is very good and allows me to fill in a lot of data
The video quality and fluency is pretty good
It also includes a group or individual chat so you can have a VIP chat with the teacher
The prices are relative
it depends on each teacher but they are acceptable and very cheap

Cons
Due to supply and demand the teachers have a limit of students in order not to monopolize the whole market
Every time you reach a certain amount of lessons the system gives you a gift card as a reward, the bad thing is that you have to spend it in less than a month
It would be nice if they added a VIP questions system, you pay a small amount of money for the teacher to answer the question faster and not wait for a long time.

Yabla

Pros
Excellent for learning languages , whether you're intensely paying attention, or multitasking
There's also the benefit of building up your listening comprehension with various accents and voices.

Cons
The variety of languages offered is limited compared to other software
There are easy commands to rewind or fast forward, as well as captions, which helps quite a bit.
