a language app that's less of a language-learning program and more of a way to pass the time. but still, when you spend a little while looking at it here, you can more or less work out the anatomy and structure of a language. it adds a bit of vocabulary too, even if limited. however, it has one problem. there's a big difference between languages in terms of how they're programmed. for some they've put in quite a bit of effort, there's plenty of content. for others it's very limited, and you end up memorizing words and sentences without learning the language. the range of languages is unfortunately very limited too. there are around seven thousand languages in the world. never mind those, they've gone and filled the app with artificial languages. i looked at finnish back in the day, and since it was so limited it was over in no time. afterward i figured i'd look at estonian, the language closest to it, and they hadn't even added it. what was the need for stuff like valyrian, klingon, and the like?
