Thank you Dustin! I just came across this! I enjoyed watching you do lesson 8 and the expression on your face with certain connections like the B in 'debt', that's what I'm aiming for! :) hehe Thanks for taking the time to share the project and your enthusiasm :)
Thank you so much for your positive feedback this means the world to me :). Also for making all those courses… I'm still fighting my way through Spanish and especially the more advanced parts really take all my attention and a lot of thinking ;).
I have been through the whole introduction to Italian course, and as a complete beginner, it was definitely the most useful thing I could have done before starting reading and listening. Highly recommend it, even the introduction courses!
Hey Alex :). Yes I totally agree! There is no better head start to wrap your head around the language. Going forward I will always do it that way, relatively at the beginning. The Arabic material looks also cool with those cards.
Excellent app and content. Mihalis’s approach is logical, systematic and he advances the concepts in a good sequence. His philosophy on access is extremely generous and progressive. Not everything is for sale!
Thank you very much, Paul :). Yes! I'm a big fan of languagetransfer and admire his approach in teaching languages. This is high quality language learning… And in future there is more to come.
I adore Language Transfer! It was the first thing I used to get started on my Italian learning journey last year, and I still come back to it for practice of sentence structures I have difficulty with. I'm only sorry it's not available as a complete course yet. I like to use it by working through a few episodes at a time, and then before I start the next few I go back and review the last 3 or four and then continue. I would love to see him do a course like this in a Slavic language like Polish.
Hey Sadelle :). Yes same here! Would love to have full Italian! That’s also a good idea to review some concepts. They should be labeled in such a way that we can review more targeted. A slavic language, would also be interesting for me. Maybe starting with Russian, because it’s the one most widely spoken. I have no idea how they work.
Dustin, thanks for introducing us to the Language Transfer app. I look forward to trying the complete course in Spanish and the introduction course in French. I will also let several of my Spanish speaking friends know about the English course.
You’re welcome Kevin :). Thats a great idea! I’ll also do the Spanish to English course in future. Maybe it can teach me something as well. I hope you’ll like it! 🤗
Probably the best app for learning a language, but only if you know English well enough. there is so much English in the Spanish course that you start to question whether you have chosen the right course. constant comparisons with the structure of English, which for me as a non-native speaker doesn't mean anything. i lasted 5 lessons. in the first lectures you almost never hear Spanish, only English, English, English. the English lecturer speaks very slurred, hard, nothing is understandable. I'm now learning Spanish with dreaming Spanish. it is the best resource I have tried. You don't need to know english for use it. I've been with them for a few months now and recently subscribed as I realized it's worth it. Now I tried to find something like this to learn German.
Thanks for the comment Bumble :). I would say even better to get starting speaking. For listening comprehension I would rather use LingQ and comprehensible/compelling input :D. As usual. But languagetransfer also helps with the comprehension for sure.
@@DustinSchermaul Sounds good :) i will definitely try it for italian. I'm using LingQ every day :D I love it! My absolutely favorite way to learn languages:)
Yes language transfer is very special in that regard, I full agree, but all apps that encourage immersion are also super useful to let the language sink in your brain.
Do a review of "Pierre's Adventures in French/spanish" if you have the time. It is more like normal adventure game where you learn by just playing rather than giving you language test to pass level and etc. I am also looking at this game "French Crime".
Thank you so much for your suggestions! I will do reviews about both games. Pierre's Adventures I've had already on my list, but French crime I haven't heard about before. :-)
@@DustinSchermaul Thanks, Yea I just came across French crime couple of days ago searching for "French" on steam. It looked interesting and have spoken french.
I like language transfer. Using the app because it keeps track of where I left off. I'm at lection 22/40 for French (grammar from Duolingo is meh, so I want a few more perspectives), still pretty basic, not sure how far 40 will go.
It's a good thing to get going with speaking! Even if you are already intermediate you can still get some nuggets from it. Definitely worth to do for any language we want to learn. Glad that you like it :).
It's only the beginners course and I would also say more like A2. But only if you also pair it with consuming comprehensible and compelling input, because your brain needs some more exposure to the language in order to become used to it. But it's a great way to get going with speaking! I could learn some stuff even while I had already a B2-Level.
No way Language Transfer for French on it's own would even reach A2. It is a beginner's course of 40 short lessons and about 6 hrs. and 49 mins. overall. I am confident to say, if you only take the entire Language Transfer French course in full and attempt to have a conversational test in A2 a person would fail miserably. Never mind a B2 conversational test. B2 is the level needed to even study at a post secondary institute. I have no idea how a person could think a course less than 7 hrs. long would get a person to a B2 level. Considering LT is inspired by the Michel Thomas method, which is instructed in English to teach a language.
I'm doing Greek, and it's fantastic! After trying other language apps, I would say that Language Transfer is the best for learning Greek free or paid. This app should be charging $25 per month. The next language I would love to see is Greek fro Spanish Speakers. Since I'm a both a native Spanish and English Speaker I am trying to learn Greek with both as a base. Thanks and hello from Miami, Fl. USA
Haha, yes, it would be definitely an app worth paying for! I agree that to learn a language from another language changes the perspective fully. Sometimes it makes life easier, but sometimes also harder :). Thanks for your comment and greetings back to sunny Miami!
it's just a lesson audios. I have tried it for Greek but im not interested; the easy short sentences and grammar are better learned by books, but I am more interested in an interactive app which makes me reply in speaking, like AI chatting but with duolingo type of gaming structure with TPRS Story telling contextual approach. These kinds of podcasts are not interesting at all. Duolingo is using abstract sentences without any context and meaning, and no interactive involvement, so the interest and learning curve is very low.
Everyone should do what works best for them :). For me, it's a miracle and I'm getting a lot out of it. I'm also looking forward to more interactive approaches to language learning based on AI. Lot's to come in future I guess.
I concur that it's an inferior imitation of Michael Thomas courses. It incorporates some grammar along with numerous translations, which some refer to as the lexical approach.
They are planning a Brazilian Portuguese course, but so far it has not finished. That was two years ago they released a video for a script for it. Look for other resources and do not wait specifically only for the Language Transfer one.
For which language would you like to have another course, which isn't covered yet? And did you already try the app? :) Thank you very much for watching and see you the next time!
Just wait till you're in the later lessons. It gets hard, but you're so invested that you love it.
Yes I've already noticed the increasing difficulty! But it's also fun : ).@@jeremiahwat1

I took the french course and currently the spanish one. I'm planning to take the german and the italian ones soon.
This is an Amazing Tool! I have been using it. It has truly allowed me to think and speak stress free! I will support!!
Glad that you like it, too! :)
It’s also on TH-cam if you don’t want to download the app.
Keep it up Dustin. I appreciate your videos!
Yes that's true!

Thank you so much for your positive feedback, Vasila :).
So which one do you recommend, Lingq or Language Transfer?
I would use both :). LingQ is my everyday learning tool and language transfer helps me to get going with the language and also to start speaking.
Will Language transfer get you to level B2 for French?
Definitely not. A2 maximum
It's only the beginners course and I would also say more like A2. But only if you also pair it with consuming comprehensible and compelling input, because your brain needs some more exposure to the language in order to become used to it.

Try Mango Languages, it has exactly what you're looking for and they offer Greek too
No Portuguese?
Unfortunately not yet :(.
They are planning a Brazilian Portuguese course, but so far it has not finished. That was two years ago they released a video for a script for it. Look for other resources and do not wait specifically only for the Language Transfer one.
I couldn't find english language
There is also a course to learn English, when you're a native Spanish speaker. What is your mother tongue?
@@DustinSchermaulMy native language is Azerbaijan .
