Cons
Con Not a good way to learn a language by itself
It's not your standard learning website with structured courses. Instead, it helps you get more familiar with your target language by translating content when needed.
This can be really beneficial for someone trying to improve their fluency, but isn't going to directly teach you grammar. Readlang is better used to supplement your learning while learning from structured courses.
Con Expensive for some languages
Particularly for a language like Arabic - it can be cheaper to find a tutor (or tutors) then book lessons through them.
