Our Verdict
3.0/5
A fun, video game style approach to language learning, and the retro design still holds up. The text-to-speech voices are well behind what other apps offer now, and the sentences can feel random, a bit like Duolingo. I still like it.

Spaced Repetition
Languages you can learn with Clozemaster
Corpus
- You're learning what people say or write, naturally. No textbook language, or overly simplified examples just for the sake of teaching the language.
- That said, the sentences are pulled from a generated corpus, so they can seem random. You'll meet genuinely useful ones and slightly odd ones in the same session.
Audio
The audio is text to speech, and the voices are lower quality than what's available today. It does the job for recognition, but it's the weakest part of the app.
