Pros and cons of Learn Shona - EuroTalk app for iPhone and iPad

Learn Shona - EuroTalk app good for

Great layout, fun and interesting. An excellent way to learn vocab. Bit of a cop out on Time and Countries - English words pronounced with a Shona accent. Perhaps other vocab should have been included instead. Expensive app when compared to products like Numbers, Pages etc. Would be great to add on additional vocab packs later on.
I purchased this apps 7 months ago. I just arrive home from Zimbabwe on 4 of July. I could understand a lot of my in-laws Shona and speak a little. I even started dreaming in Shona and was there for just 3 weeks! Im so ready to return (practicing more so now).

Some bad moments

Some of the words are not correct. I showed it to a friend from Zim and she laughed and said that most of what I am learning I will not use when I am in Zim. But it is not a bad app as there are so few resources available to learn Shona.
