Early units may feel repetitive due to frequent recaps of previous content within brief lessons.
The transition from the alphabet to conversational units may lack sufficient individual vocabulary building and detailed grammar explanations. One signal suggests these gaps existed prior to the June 2026 update, though the update label does not prove a correction has been made.
