Hey there, gotcha, sorry for the bug, it's solved for the English <-> French course, I hadn't tested the German <-> French pair (although I do speak C2 German and B2 French). Thanks for the report, we have many many courses, many people that work on these courses, and recently relaunched entirely. We do believe in the mission, and we do have linguists and native speakers paid to work on these courses.

The issue here is a simple bug. We have two pairs for that specific lesson: - Hello <-> Bonjour - Good morning <-> Bonjour

They are identified by the question's id. And by the id we find the answer, and this is a bug where we show you one of the Bonjours, and only one of the answers is right per id. It's just a bug, that we already have mechanics for, but it's not always perfect. The course is still tested by linguists and native speakers.

Here to answer some of these questions: We offer a huge part of our corpus for free, and we offer a super cheap Premium offer in order to still make some money. We use linguists, teachers, and native speakers to curate our courses, but we're a small team of three people who just started this a few months ago, not all of our content is yet verified and corrected. We're working together with 2 institutions for endangered languages, offer them a "cms"-like interface to host their own courses alongside our existing courses. Yes, there are bugs. Yes, placements aren't great. But we're working on it! Goal is: Combinations. Make it possible to learn French from Arabic. Make it possible to learn Igbo from German. And so on. There's no fraud involved (how even do you imagine anything fraudulent here, it's a language learning app with a massive free tier), we're just trying to make it accessible.

Thanks for all the feedback, this filled up our backlog for surely a few weeks.

We definitely plan on adding it very soon.

You can use it for free. It's not fraud.
