If the point of learning a language was to say new words to yourself, you can just make up words.

If you want to be understood and understand others, who ever "they" are sort of need to exist while you're learning.

I can promise you, speaking out of a phrase book burned into your brain with limited cultural knowledge from other people makes for a very boring cringeworthy conversation partner, and an awful language teacher.

However, the app exists ... and it works. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
