I knew some Spanish words, but was too scared to talk. Role-playing with Yapkin helped me overcome that.
Pretty good app if you want to be more comfortable speaking.
Came to learn Japanese, stayed for Yapkin's funny replies.
Love that it puts you in real scenarios, instead of teaching you random words.
The first app I've used for German that I don't keep on mute. The speaking is so good.
I had a long streak on the owl app before switching. Yapkin finally got me talking.
The custom conversations are the best in this app! I'm actually answering in Portuguese now.
Such a cool concept, I've never seen a language app like this.
