Impressive project, but the tagline says "learn every language," and yet there are some very glaring omissions. Just a few off the top of my head: Haitian Creole, Breton, Taiwanese, Shanghainese, Scots, and Yoruba. But probably the biggest omission is Esperanto, the world's most popular auxiliary language, which is often used as a bridge to other languages. If you learn Esperanto as your first foreign language, it's much easier to learn other languages, so it should be front-and-center in any language learning app.


Heh yeah that was just brought to my attention. It's kind of always been the mission of the project, and what we've been building internally. We've been adding 20 languages a month since we started, and we're not planning on stopping anytime soon - but indeed there are a lot of language missing at the moment.

By the time we're out of beta we will support every language, give us a couple months to make good on that headline!
