Overall I cannot find one objective review on the internet. It seems the marketers set up fake review sites and the product on every review site recieves 5 stars.

I am looking to move up from an INtermediate level in German to an advanced.

What I can tell you, as a native German speaker is, that personally I’d not recommend this product. First of all: The website does not at all look professional. Above that, it’s spelled ‘fließend’ and not ‘fliessend’ (you should know that when you want to teach German).

Above that: The audio example you can hear on the web page hasn’t a good pronunciation of the words (too much English pronunciation). There’re too many words that have to be pronounced on the first syllable and are pronounced on the second or something similar.

My advice: Better pay a bit more money for something very (more) useful.
