Full description
Streaks, XP, leaderboards and bite-sized lessons make a daily habit easy to keep, with a wide range of courses and a mature English path for Chinese speakers.
It is strong on vocabulary and pattern drilling, weaker on real-world context, free production and systematic grammar. Pair it with podcasts, reading or conversation practice if fluency is the goal.
Paid plans mostly remove ads and lift the hearts limit; some advanced content rolls out by region.
