I'd like to learn and explore the language. Unfortunately, there's an unnecessary reqt to create an account. Worse, devs have written the plus bug (in 2019!), making it impossible to create one (my valid email address has a + in it, they only say, infuriatingly and incorrectly, "please enter a valid email address"). Maybe they'll fix this properly by not requiring an "account", or at least remove their plus bug and allow valid email addresses. I'll try again later
Great app love the interface and the way it teaches but unit 38 has 2 glitches where it askes if these babies are hungry and if those two women are sick. There are only spots for 4 words and the sentence is 5 I submitted it for feedback but it won't let me move on until it is fixed
As a person who likes to learns languages I really like how you learn and progress. Building up on a premises - like how you learn colours and ask what colour and how to response yes or no. It's not just heres some words but actually how to use the words and build sentences. Most language apps are just word lists which are not very useful.
This app is great and is very easy to use. My father knows few words and phrases in Lakota and we use them around the house but now I'm hoping we can form full conversations, it seems legit,(the words I know on here are legit anyway) I was a bit hesitant at first but it's great
This is a wonderful app! I have been searching for a Lakota language program for a long time now. This is clear and fun. Lots of repeating so you learn. I would put this up against Duolingo any day!!
Awesome learning tool for Lakota! Great lesson organization, excellent learning challenges, a wide variety of reviews, and fun! If you want to learn Lakota you must have this tool.
It was great until I got to around level 35 and my correct answers would be taken as incorrect and no matter what I did I couldn't progress to the next level. too bad.
It holds me hostage until I finish it's section. I HATE THIS! I have limited time daily; NO HOSTAGE-TAKING. I should be able to do what I have time for; be able to come back & finish later. This about ME, not the app.
Could not even get on as when I put in my email it did not accept. But on a more positive note, the Lakota Vocab builder is amazing I would recommend it to anyone who can't access this app.
Great experience and I love learning my own language from the comfort of home. I'm hoping to become a Lakota language only household and preserve our language. I'm happy and grateful for this app. Every Lakota should have and use this app here in South Dakota 🤎 I am crst greetings cuzns
Very usable and good, only problem is online connectivity which I assume is my problem.
Good app. Easy to use and the keyboard is a good tool.
Great app, easy to use and learn at your own pace
Greatly enhanced my study of Lakota... looking forward to version 1.6!
Great app it has some bugs but nothing 2 major
This an excellent learning app and I am proud to be Lakota
Love this, always wanted to learn to speak First Nations languages
This app is great it makes learning very easy
Refreshing!
Cant even make an account to access the app
Amazing app for learning Lakota. I love it. After the last update, however, I can't hear the voices over my phone but I can over my headset. It doesn't affect the Vocab building app, just this one. I'm still trying to see if I can fix it on my own, but I have limited time.
