The OpenLanguage app will help you learn a new language in a convenient and engaging format.

How It Works:
· Learn authentic, high-frequency language just as it is actually spoken. All lessons are based on dialogues so that you learn from real conversations.
· Listen to our teacher presenters deliver a lesson just like you would get in a classroom using the same natural and engaging style as a radio talk show.
· Dig deeper into the lesson with interactive review activities, including our powerful Sentence Breakdown feature.
· Use the Tablet Textbook in the classroom, or with your teacher, to get speaking practice and corrective feedback.
· Practice what you learn with lesson tasks for review by your teacher or the community.
· Save all target-language terms to your personal vocabulary decks for future study.

Busy students can use the app to study languages on their favorite device, whenever they have the time and desire. Teachers and administers can use the website to manage students, as well as re-mix and assign courses. Unlike traditional textbooks which are rarely updated, OpenLanguage adds new lessons on a weekly basis so it is always fresh and relevant.

Pros and cons of OpenLanguage - Real Language Taught By Real People app for iPhone and iPad

OpenLanguage - Real Language Taught By Real People app good for

I like very much. I think is very dinamic, lets u learning fast, and with modern vocabulary from every day situation. As an improvement, i think the part of grammar should have a small explanation, like a short link to a html, or other window with the explanation of the grammar.and in the same manner there is a glossary for each word vocabulary, could also exist a small glossary for interrelated grammar.the ultimate would be having the possibility of practising speaking, with a recorder, and a direct voice recognition. But honestly i am quite happy, useful, fast learning, well presented, nice colours, easy to use, thanks for letting be arab language closer to everyone.salam.
Its really great listening to the funny dialogues and to Marco and Cathrine explaining it. Thank you guys! Still, the software needs improvement, its pretty slow and crashes quite often.
It is very useful for me ,i try to learn english by many sources but i get headache. This way is very good.
If support for current teaching methodology continue, this application is number 1 candidate to be for best language learning application. Method used is very effective: audio-visual, encouraging learner to participate. I am enjoying it while learning
This is a really great program for learning English! I loved it at once. Its very comfortable It have a lot of interesting stuff. Не глючит, имеет понятное меню, приятные голоса и я пищу от удовольствия, когда пользуюсь ею!

Some bad moments

This app was one of the best app in apple store. Recently, they damage theirselves.
This app was called englishpod before. It was a good app at the beginning, so I purchased a three years subscription for $270. After couple of months they stopped producing lessons. I tried to contact them but no response. I simply cant trust them and I think they have to be removed from apple store before doing the same thing they did to me to other people.
The app does not work continuing crash just the website is good
Seems to be written for iPhone5 and screen doesnt scroll to support iPhone 4S.
Just started with the Arabic segment, and from what I have seen, this app is a serious stuff; not the mediocre attempts about teaching a language with only words and meanings. This is great, total, coverage - language in the context of its culture, with additional analysis that enhances meaning and understanding; a lot of practice, and self-gauging. Thanks! You have offered what I thought was not possible in a single package.
The lessons are good it is very easy to follow very good explained. My only complain is about the app itself, it is not very responsive and freezes often, it needs an update.
