Apps are a supplement, not a course

No app can correct your word order in real time or tell you why a sentence sounds unnatural. Use apps for the things they do better than a teacher — daily vocabulary repetition, listening hours and pronunciation reps — and keep a human in the loop for grammar and speaking.
