I've noticed some weird English (in the English for Russian speakers course).
Sometimes the rhythm of the phrase is very strange and also sometimes the wrong pronunciation is used when there's a heteronym.

The ambiguity goes away if you write them as "все" and "всё". Diacritics, accents, umlauts and cedillas are useful; if you omit them you do a disservice to the reader.
I've reported these issues hundreds of times since they added the ML recordings and none of them have been fixed.
But like you I keep using it just to get that little daily exposure to the language. I suspect it's useless for actually learning a new language, but it's maybe just barely good enough to keep up a language you already know.
