    The problem with Language Transfer is its very limited language selection and its format.

    Duolingo allows reading, writing, listening and speech (last two can be disabled if unsuitable in your context), and it does not impose daily limits. I’ve yet to find an alternative app that does all 5 of those things.

      Yes, Language Transfer doesn’t have as many languages as Duolingo. Hardly surprising, since the entire system and all the language lessons were created by one man!

      For me, the most important thing is to learn to think in the other language. Everything else follows from that.

      Language Transfer makes a conscious effort not to get you to memorize things, but to internalize them and understand the system. That works perfectly with my own way of learning.
