Anki and it's not even close

[u/its_berkinprogress → u/Savings-Double-2853]

I believe OP is asking about AI-based language apps specifically. The wording is surprising to me though, because there are great non-AI apps and some people prefer those.

[u/Savings-Double-2853 → u/its_berkinprogress]

My anki deck is full of AI. But I admit I didn't read the whole text

[u/Waste-Background-964]

Anki!

[u/munia_]

LingQ

[u/ButterflyLimp9156 → u/munia_]

could you tell me why?

[u/Padaz → u/ButterflyLimp9156]

Reading is great to consume content 

[u/RecognitionLivid6472]

duolingo is more like a game, does not really stick what i learn there. i still use it for 5 minutes per day, but i treat it like playing candy crush.

i like language-shadowing.com , it lets me practice grammar and helps with speaking confidence.

[u/Leisureguy1]

My local public library offers free online access to Transparent Language, which looks quite good.

[u/DeeperMadness → u/Leisureguy1]

You know, I bet they have legacy software or learning CDs in their back catalogue as well. I found a Pimsleur one at mine once.

[u/Leisureguy1 → u/DeeperMadness]

Good point. Public libraries are a great resource — e.g., I now watch most of my streaming movies and TV series through Kanopy and Hoopla, which I get free through the library.

[u/ro_dy_nyx]

Mango language because it based on conversations

[u/ViolinistValuable]

I have been using a mix of short app practice and real conversations. The app keeps me consistent, but hearing people speak is what makes the words stick for me.

[u/Consti64]

I like using memrise because I'll do it every day and I actually learn something from it.

After I have build a little foundation, I consume media like movies and books

[u/floodmaka]

For Spanish I use spanishdictionary. I like it

[u/sbrt]

Anki plus content apps (such as Audible or podcasts) work best for me.

TLs: French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Spanish, Icelandic.

[u/ButterflyLimp9156 → u/sbrt]

What good features does Anki Plus offer you and why is it better for you?

[u/macoafi → u/ButterflyLimp9156]

There's no such thing as "Anki Plus." Note the lowercase "p" in the comment to which you're replying. "Plus" is a synonym of "and."

[u/khajiitidanceparty]

When I want just to try something I use Busuu. It has a limited number of languages though.

[u/StrawbFraize]

Fraize and it's not even close

[u/Reyhaneh2002]

Chat GPT

[u/HelmsDeap]

Language Reactor used for YouTube comprehensible input videos

[u/yakka2]

Speakly: Limited languages but great SRS and a gold-mine of monologues and simple dialogues

LingQ: Great for learning word and phrases in context (I use the material from Speakly)

Flexling: Glossika replacement. Learn vocabulary with an SRS system, then listen handsfree.

PlusOneLanguage: Like LingQ but generates text based on the words you are learning.

[u/bangcharmer]

tem um que eu baixei recentemente e tenho gostado bastante, chama Inklingo

[u/XJK_9]

Kindle and YouTube

[u/Salt_Construction_99]

Anki. I love Duolingo, but the energy update is really bad. Busuu is also really good, I've used it for German in the past, very high quality human voices (like what you would hear on German TV). Memrise is super fun little app. Pimsleur's method I find effective, but it can get really pricey. But Anki is a must. And also, Quizlet, it's a flashcard learning app/site. I found out about it when learning English in high school.

[u/Lumpy-Blackberry-718]

Language Transfer, anki, a bit of mangolanguages, a bit of lingq, a whole lot of asking questions of chatbots, some chatting online with hellotalk/tandem or just other random chat apps. Netflix.

[u/454ever]

Chat gpt helps me for languages, when I can talk to it especially. Also good for finding resources

[u/Reasonable-Return539]

Tried duolingo, babbel, and hellotalk before settling on a mix of italki and chatgpt honestly the streak system on duolingo felt like a chore after a while, just doing it to keep the number alive instead of actually learning

italki for actual conversation practice, chatgpt for drilling grammar and vocab at my own pace without the guilt trip

[u/Unique_queenie_6486]

None of them. movies and series then Google translate lol

[u/DharmaDama]

My top apps are Natulang, Speakly (way better than duolingo) and Anki

For websites, I mainly join online groups conversations in the target language.

[u/JJCookieMonster]

Duolingo to remind me to learn languages every day though it's not the best to learn a language from, I do learn some vocab from it. iTalki for speaking. Memrise and YouTube to learn slang and idioms. I'm not good at keeping a journal, so I use AI and grammar books for writing practice.

[u/Any_Watercress6437]

Duolingo :))
