Strengths
- Highly rated for clear, beginner-friendly lesson progression (4.7/5 avg. rating)
- Strong focus on foundational vocabulary and grammar with spaced repetition (review: 'Perfect for starting from zero')
- Effective use of gamification (badges, streaks) to maintain motivation (review: 'I didn’t want to stop learning')

Weaknesses

Opportunities
