Why most German learners plateau.
Reading gets stronger and vocabulary grows, but speaking stays where it was last year. Four patterns explain most of it.
Der, die or das?
Three genders and no rule you can rely on. You stop mid-sentence to guess the article, and the guess is often wrong.
Four cases in every sentence
Accusative after für, dative after mit, and an article that changes each time. In a real conversation there is no time to look up the table.
The verb goes where?
Second place in a main clause, last place after weil and dass. The word order of your own language keeps sneaking back in.
Separable verbs fall apart
Ich rufe dich morgen an: the an at the end gets lost, or turns up too early.
How LingUp gets you speaking German.
Talk with a tutor in German
Marin and Alloy speak German with you, at your level, about whatever you like. No appointments and no waiting for a partner who speaks German.
A correction after every message
After every message you see the corrected sentence: the right case, the right article, the verb in the right place. Speak instead of typing and each word gets a pronunciation score, umlauts and ch sounds included.
Your mistakes, saved for review
Every case slip and mispronounced word is collected in Review, so the dative you keep missing comes back until it sticks.

What LingUp points out
You said
Ich gehe mit mein Freund ins Kino.
Better
Ich gehe mit meinem Freund ins Kino.
Mit always takes the dative, so mein becomes meinem.
