Will the app help me improve my speaking skills?
The lingoni app will help you improve your reading, writing, listening and pronunciation skills. In order to improve your speaking skills, you will need to speak on a regular basis with someone who knows the language well enough (B2 or higher). Private lessons with a qualified native teacher are also advisable, as this gives you a lot of speaking time and your mistakes will be corrected so that you will improve faster. An additional way to boost your speaking skills is by meeting up with a language exchange partner.
