I have gone from literally zero Spanish to be able to understand basic spoken and written sentences and read basic signs etc.
I might venture a basic spoken question or statement (e.g. ordering a coffee, asking where check-in is etc), but not much else.
For me that is amazing. I've gone from nothing to basic toddler-level language skills just for messing about in the app a bit (and tantalisingly there was one or two moments where I caught myself thinking in Spanish too). That is valuable I think. I don't want to be fluent enough to be able to "chat with my Spanish friends" or whatever, just know enough to get by when on a vacation (which worked a treat when I spent a month in South America which was the main reason I learnt any at all - I didn't want to be utterly helpless)
