Fluent Forever app: holy grail or smoke & mirrors?

Postby Uncle Roger » Tue May 22, 2018 11:18 am

I'm seeing a lot of ads on Facebook. It's meant to launch in August 2018. One of its cornerstones should be associations through images, which I am a bit hesitant to believe it works for higher intermediate and advanced vocabulary.

Here is a video of a recent build, it seems to show mostly the process of building/enriching content rather than the study session

What are other people's thoughts on this?

Hi smallwhite, my bad for not doing a search and assuming my recent increase of Fluent Forever fb ads was chronologically in line with the exposure other people got of that app.

Feel free to kill this one thread I started, will post on the other one.

I wasn't implying you should've posted in the other thread. I see no problem with starting new threads for old topics. I just have to cross-reference things that are related...
