Love it, but wish for some tweaks

This app is great! It is better than any in-person language class I have ever taken. I would have given it four and a half stars if I could. There are some minor changes that could really help. 1) Possibly start off with absolute basics (alphabet) and pronunciations (phonetic spelling). Some languages have different letters in the alphabet and different pronunciations for the letters. It would really help understanding individual words (This is a problem I have noticed in in-person classes as well). 2) Have an option to slow down the recording when the narrator is saying a sentence or phrase. This would really help obtaining a proper pronunciation and understanding what word is which. When heard too fast, words sometimes sound alike but have completely different meanings. Otherwise this app is perfect.
