What Babbel users say
I like many aspects of this app but the speaking component is terrible. At first I thought I was a bad speaker because everything was marked incorrect, but then I got my partner to try (native speaker) and she was also marked incorrect for nearly everything.
Google Play reviewthe fill in the blanks blanks give away the answers, as you can see the size of the blanks and it's hard to ignore.

What Vozelu does differently
- You type the word. Nothing about the blank tells you its length, and we check the letters you type.
- Every sentence is read aloud by a native voice, and you say it after the voice. In dialogues, we check that you said every word.
- One language, all the way down: the sentences, the grammar notes and the reader are Spanish only.
