Have never really seen a community driven language app like this before so it really caught my attention. I like how I am not only learning new phrases but also contributing new phrases for other people to learn! Have been showing this around my Mandarin class, and they all think it is pretty cool!.

I teach grade school. There are lots of good academic apps but they don't always keep the kids' interest. This one does because it has funny phrases.

I'm heading to London this summer and have been using Phrasemates to accelerate my language skills. I'm a huge fan and owe this app for saving me in a few conversations!

I'm taking Spanish. The homework is boring, but PhraseMates is a blast. I'm going on a class trip to Costa Rica. I'm hoping to find a "mate" in school to meet when I get there.
