17 Minute Languages Review: I Wouldn’t Recommend Using It
17 Minute Languages
Summary
17 Minute Languages is a language-learning program that uses spaced repetition and native-speaker audio to teach a wide variety of languages. In our opinion, the courses aren’t very engaging; the courses we tried included significant errors and didn’t offer any language-specific explanations. There are leaderboards for comparing your progress with other users and a language forum that’s available after four days of use.
Native speaker audio is the only thing that impressed me in the courses I tried; mistakes and glitches were many.
Explanations are lacking, which I found made some material misleading.
I think there are far better ways to spend your time and money studying a language.
I Like
- It uses native-speaker audio.
I Don’t Like
- I came across several bad translations.
- I didn’t find any helpful explanations.
- Site navigation wasn’t easy or enjoyable for me.
- I didn’t find the exercises engaging.
Price
The Beginner’s Course is $59.95 and the Complete Package is $97. For the whole package and all languages it is $197. There is a free 48-hour trial.
Superlearning technology? Fluency in 50 hours? Courses in 80 different languages? This is either the greatest language-learning resource of all time or it’s a painfully overpriced language site making absurd claims. Let’s find out.
