This site is a really good idea, but I think it needs some work. The design is not all that appealing and the 3d avatars are soo 2004. Also, when viewing the website in any other language except english, it uses Google Translate. That seems kind of strange for a language learning site.
Agree with the Google-Translate. Entered the site from Germany and was confronted with borken German. I unerstand most of it but for a language site it's definitely not optimal. For sure I wouldn't risk to pay for it.

For example, I asked it for French and it gave me,
Now we don't know whether this is un système or une système without clicking through. Also the translation of rule is simply incorrect. It would be correct to suggest une règle or un règlement.
