I used Glossika German. I am up to 300+ hours and 100,000 reps. I have learnt German for 6 months in Germany with daily intensive courses from A1 to B2 at goethes (4 hours per day) and did C1 at another school with private lessons daily after Goethes for 2 hours per day and Italki 300 hours at around 2 hours per day and sometimes 3 on weekends. This plus LingQ all 60 stories done twice, hundreds of youtube videos. I think I did about 2000 horus in 6 months. I can say that I speak super fluently. Yes with mistakes here and there. Usually the simple kindergarten mistakes (endings) but my accent is excellent as what I am told and many people think I have lived in Germany for 10 years. I have spoken to many teachers and they all said my spoken fluency is C1. Writing is non existant and reading is okay. Listening is good. I would say glossika helps drill in all the A1, A2, B1 vocab which is critical to speak fluently. All the B2 and C1 vocab is seldomly used in real life and so I highly recommend Glossika. But I do this 2 hours on average. Boring as hell. But I break it up into 3 parts per day. 100 new and 300-400 review reps per day. So about 400-500 reps per day. Some days I do more or less. I have no problems instantly finding words in my head with correct word order.
That's impressive to hear. I've been learning German for almost a year now and I still can't speak very well. I would really like to know how were you able to reach almost fluent like level in only 6 months, what activities and resources you think helped you the most to reach that. By the way, I am learning only by myself, do you think those intensive courses at goethe helped you reach fluency or do you attribute it to self studying and immersion through youtube and the apps you mentioned? Can't wait to get your answer. Thanks!
@@ayoubmouzoun5758 man ! this guy has spent alot of money on learing the language you can't notice what he said ! 300 hours italky and Goethes also ! it's alot of money no wonder he reached to a very high level
I'm learning thai I'm about 12 hours in on glossika. Living in thailand and can make it through alot of daily interactions. Glossika works very well once you have already gotten off the starting block in a language, so basically you want to be able to read a tiny bit already.
Awesome review. I have been looking into Glossika and your views matched what I thought. I think I've got the self discipline to push through to the end of it all, so I'm hoping it's going to be the catalyst I need to reach a much higher level of Japanese (N4 at the moment). Thank you!
The Belarusian course is an absolute fake. It looks like a Google translation from Russian with many mistakes, but not as Belarusian. They have mistakes even in the Belarusian introductory page. People wrote to them, no reaction.
I don't know about now, but a few years ago it was very definitely just Google translations. I tried it for Thai. When the Thais didn'h understand me I showed them the sentence in Glossika and they said it was just gibberish. I asked how I should really say it, they said, "Say what? I don't know what it's meant to mean…" Further, it was obvious because of things like this. English sentence: 1. He's a fan of football. 2. He's a football fan. The purpose here is to teach you to construct sentences in different ways so they just begin to *feel* right. Great idea! But the Thai sentences would be something like. 1. He likes football. 2. He likes football. Ie. The exact same sentence. So it obviously wasn't teaching any grammar at all in the target language, it was just "a sentence". (Though really the translation would have been something dumb like "Man cosy sphere".) Maybe they've improved it now. Or maybe Google Translate is better now.

Inspring story!Intensity and consistency is the key in language learning.Learning fast really needs drill.
Did you used flashcards at some point? Or have you used lingQ flashcards?
Man is not a native English speaker and speaks better then most American's that I speak to.
First time I hear a Frenchman speak English without detecting his origins!
I know, still blows my mind lol. Most french people I hear have very strong accents

B1 English here and I'm looking for an app to improve my speaking skills and take me further cuz I'm moving to NZ soon.
Haven't heard that sentence in 15 years. "I don't have a smartphone".
What stops one from using the 7 day trial to simply copy all the cards for a language down into anki? >:)
Good luck with that.

I'm debating id I should purchase Rosetta Stone or Glossier, What do you guys recommend ?
I don't like Rosetta Stone (I made a video on it), I'd recommend Glossika.
Rosetta stone is bad for most languages, horrible for the rest.

That's what I worry about - that they just google translate everything and you wouldn't know if you're a complete beginner.

Your picture at the corner is a big distraction, would have been better to see the entire screen.
Thanks for the feedback.
@@loistalagrand I personally don't mind. Feels like you're talking to the audience directly.
