Hello Tyvy,
Thank you for sharing your first impressions of our learning platform. We sadly regret that it didn't fit your needs.
We foster immersive exeprience when learning a language, that's the reason why all content are available in the target language. To have translations available on the course platform, we suggest you change the interface language in your settings (see the silhouette icon in at the top right -> Settings -> Change interface language). Following these steps will allow you, for example, to click on words in the instructions to have them translated into your language. For grammar rules, the use of colours and summary tables helps you understand the subject in a clear and structured way. On the vocabulary cards, you'll find images to help you.
It should be noted that the interface has been designed to immerse learners in a semi-immersive environment, which is why you won't find many translations in the various sections of the course.
Immersion involves a metalinguistic approach, using the target language for teaching and as a means of communication. The aim is to ensure the use of a broader range of cognitive mechanisms and increased intuitive sensitivity to the language, as well as receptivity and appreciation of the language being learned. As a result, your command of the language can develop like that of perfectly bilingual people.
Of course, this means greater effort at the beginning if you learn exclusively on the online platform, and that is why we encourage you to widen the scope of your learning by varying the channels you use: radio, television, internet and, above all, human contact with native speakers.
Concerning your personnal data issue, you should contact your insitution that is in charge of that matter. If needed, they will contat us directly.
We hope that our answer will help you in your language learning process, and that you will give our platform a second chance regarding our immersive approach!
Kind regards,
The Altissia Team
