TL;DR
A marketplace app for kids to take 1-on-1 English video lessons. It offers great speaking practice but is not a self-study tool.
A classic course based on books and audio. It offers a structured path with solid grammar but lacks the interactive features of modern apps.

Description

Description

PalFish is a tutoring marketplace primarily for children learning English. It connects students with tutors for live, one-on-one video lessons directly on a smartphone or tablet. The platform provides its own curriculum and interactive lesson materials, focusing on engagement and real-time speaking practice. Its strength is the direct, communicative approach to learning. However, it is not a self-study app, and the educational outcome is highly dependent on the quality and fit of the individual tutor.

Living Language offers a comprehensive, traditional method that has been refined over decades. Its courses are built around structured books and accompanying audio, focusing on dialogues, explicit grammar explanations, and cultural notes. This approach is thorough and great for learners who prefer a clear curriculum over a gamified app experience. While it provides a solid foundation, it is less interactive than modern platforms and lacks significant built-in tools for live speaking practice.
