I love this program

I love this program. It’s the best I’ve seen so far. It has everything from speaking practice to writing to fun ways of learning. I wish it explained the subjunctive and had more practice for the verb tenses for Portuguese. Some don’t have practice. I also with you condo turn off the timed part on the excercises. It stressed me out. Other then that I recommend this program. It’s complete and fun.

Hello Bri, thank you so much for your kind words and for recommending OUINO! We’re really happy to hear that you’re enjoying the program.

For the subjunctive, we actually have a lesson on it in the "Building Blocks" module under "Verbs and Tenses." You’ll also find it in the "Recommended Verb Path" just before the conjugation lesson. There are practice exercises for verb tenses in the verb lessons as well, though we know that things like the subjunctive can sometimes take time and plenty of exposure to really click.

About the timer, you can easily turn it off by clicking on it. Once you do that, it’ll stay off on that device. The only place it can’t be turned off is in the "Fluency Sprint" exercises, which are meant to be extra challenging for those who want to push themselves. No pressure to do them until you’re ready!

Thanks again for your thoughtful feedback! Best of luck!

A great program…

It has been very easy to have already formed phrases and situations that are part of basic conversations. I think you designed a really good program.

Excellent Courses and Service

Fantastic courses that offer true value for money, and an extremely helpful team that assisted me immediately when I had trouble logging in to one of my courses (even through a weekend). Thank you very much from a languages geek!!

Awesome for Overall Learning and Plateaus!

This is a great application to use in conjunction with other resources. I have tried many competitors (Duolingo, Babbel, Busuu etc.) and none are consistently as good as Ouino. I hit a learning and comprehension plateau around intermediate skill level with Portuguese and this application has enabled me to continue improving through this stage.
You can pick your lessons piecemeal or follow their suggested learning route. I love how the lesson is presented first and you can customize the speed and repetition of items within the lesson. Each lesson then has an optional game afterwards to aid in comprehension and retention. I also enjoy the grammar lessons for conjugation because it is presented with so many examples. Lessons are close enough to a classroom lecture to understand the topic thoroughly but fun and visual enough to keep it interesting. The pronunciation is also great (option to listen to normal speaking speed and/or a slowed, enunciated version) for a language that I was utterly unfamiliar with and could barely understand initially. It is also seamless to use the app on my phone or on my laptop.
I really can't say enough good things about this app! Ouino combined with speaking with a native speaker, reading Portuguese stories, and writing a daily journal in Portuguese has really helped me advance my fluency! Out of all the language apps currently available, I would recommend this one!
[Last but not least, SO GREAT to be able to BUY the program instead of being stuck with yet another subscription]

Great value

In general, I'm very pleased with my purchase, especially considering the fair price of the program. It's clear that you genuinely care about customer satisfaction.

In terms of content, it's quite versatile, and it's great to see that different aspects of the language are covered. It’s not just another word-memorizing tool.

Here are some suggestions to make the program even better:
The exercises aren't bad, but in some areas, especially the conversations, I think there's a lot of room for improvement. I find them too easy and not very helpful. You don't actually need to understand much to answer the conversation exercises. In my opinion, if they were more similar to vocabulary exercises, or if they included some blanks to fill in with writing the actual words instead of just selecting answers, it would be much better.

In terms of design, I feel it's too generic and lacks character or personality. Also, the UI design choices are not always great in my opinion. For example, when using audio-only mode, I don't understand why you chose a black screen with very very small buttons to navigate through the conversation, and worst of all, a swipe-up gesture to return to the previous menu, instead of a simple "play, pause, next, previous" system. This is especially annoying when trying to use it while driving.

This section also has a few bugs (on Android). The audio pauses without any reason from time to time, and you have to go back to the menu and return to make it work again.

The resume function when opening the program is very welcome, but instead of resuming from where you left off, it resumes from where you started the last session, not where you finished.

Overall great job on the program and I wish you the best.

Thank you so much for your review! We're really glad to hear you're happy with your purchase and find the program to be a great value. It’s great to know that our approach to covering different aspects of the language resonates with you.

We also really appreciate your suggestions for improvement. You make a great point about the conversation exercises, and we're definitely considering ways to make them more challenging and interactive. In the meantime, if you're looking for more conversation practice, we encourage you to click on "Extra Language Practice" in the conversation exercises section. You’ll find additional exercises there that can offer more variety and challenge.

Regarding the audio-only mode and design feedback, we hear you. Since the app doesn't run on native code, we've faced some technical challenges with keeping the audio running smoothly in the background, especially when the screen is off. This is part of the reason we opted for a minimal UI with swipe actions. We're actively working on solutions, but in the meantime, keeping the screen open should help prevent interruptions. We know it’s not ideal, especially while driving, but we hope this helps reduce issues until a more permanent fix is in place.

Thanks again for your detailed feedback! It’s incredibly helpful as we continue improving the program. Best of luck with your language learning, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any other suggestions!

I liked the format

I liked the format. The way the lessons were set up and progressed. The use of photos and the audio at fast and slow pronunciation. It was easy to navigate to different lessons and manage my own pace.

A great investment

Easy to use, well developed application, no glitches, helpful guidelines to follow and build confidence yet very flexible to choose focus topics.
The available in-depth explanation of the individual words (target language) used in an example sentence, by clicking one button is a great feature to strengthen learning.
Customer follow up is excellent and provides an opportunity for feedback or questions.
I have tried a number of other on-line language learning tools but none provided the clear building blocks that Ouino does.

Very pleased, loyal customer

Well, this company has exceeded my expectations- and continues to do so. For a language program, it's the best that I've come accross so far. It's so indepth and thorough in it's design. I'm very impressed and pleased and I believe that I'll continue using it, without tire, for quite a long time.

Beginning Ouino German course

I'm just beginning the Ouino German course and am still exploring but so far I am finding it well organized, easy to navigate, user friendly, lots of material, clear explanations.
When I had a technical question about the interface, Ouino promptly answered my inquiry and provided the solution.

Great language course.

This is an excellent program for learning a foreign language. And it is a lot of fun.

It is also very comprehensive. Covers everything you need to master a language and probably a bit more. Highly recommended.
