I have been using Middlebury since Fall of 2020, for my Mandarin Classes. Every lesson is the exact same formatting (except 4 lessons, the midterms and finals of each semester, which are all the same as the other anyways) to the point where it gets boring and repetitive. 34 lessons in, not once have I memorized any of the vocabulary, unless I already learned it before Middlebury. The method of "teaching", which involves showing the vocabulary a few times and expecting us to memorize it is ineffective, and not "Interactive" as the title of this service/product says. And for the activities, they're just guessing games. There is no motivation to actually put effort into it, to the point where I put the answers in randomly and hope RNG is on my side.
In Conclusion:
You don't learn from this program. Don't waste your money on it.
