If you took some of the more popular text books and made it an interactive app. This would be it. As such you should use this like you would an interactive text book: as a starting point. LingoDeer explains grammar very well and the exercises are simple and engaging but drill in the grammar and limited vocabulary they are teaching you. There is a small story for each chapter. The stories are short and interesting enough. I do wish there were more. If you are interested in learning a language I would probably recommend starting here. I want to be clear though, you can’t learn a language with an app alone. You have talk to yourself through out the day in your target language it might be as simple as narrating your actives, “ me levanto y me capillo mis dientes” I wake up and brush my teeth. Then, as soon as you can start reading and then summarizing what you read and asking questions. Pros - Grammar instruction is king. Short simple and easy to understand, Interactive, works, app feels easy and well made. CON - Lingodeer’s vocabulary is just too small per lesson. Add in another 5 or 10 words per day and use them to tell a story, use AI to write you a story using your daily vocabulary and read. Plus where does this vocabulary come from? Why am I learning “Peach and Pear” before House?

This is hands down the best app I’ve used for learning a different language, Japanese specifically. I could go on and on, it’s just incredible. I tried learning Japanese last summer and failed miserably, nothing I used helped work for me. This summer I tried going back to it, and I used Duolingo at first. It was good, but I wish I had used this app sooner! Someone recommended it to me and I fell in love instantly! It makes it so much fun, and maybe it’s since I’m just passionate about learning the language, but still! It has all these fun lessons and games, and makes everything very interesting. I’ve only used it for Japanese, but from the rest of the reviews, I can see it’s an amazing app all in all, no matter what you want to learn! I highly, HIGHLY recommend this app for anyone wanting to learn a new Asian language! And I want to give a big thanks to the developers! You guys have done an amazing job! On another note, I’d like to say that there’s something I’ve run into recently that’s kind of bugging me. During the Pop Quizzes, sometimes if I write the answer wrong and try to erase it, the letters will disappear and I can’t finish the answer. Like, if I write “わした” instead of “わたし” and I go to erase “し“ and “た”, one of the two wont go back to my keyboard, so I can’t write it down correctly. I hope you guys look into it because it’s becoming a bit annoying! Thank you! ^_^

Honestly, I’ve been learning Korean for a few months through websites and videos, but because the videos and websites didn’t go together, I wasn’t really getting things. I didn’t have a system or structure to learn things in since I didn’t know where to look and practically watched/read anything I could find. I was starting to get unmotivated about studying until I asked a friend of mine what she used to study Korean and she recommended me this app. I remember hearing about LingoDeer before through my fav polyglot YouTuber, iKenna, so I thought “why not check it out?”. BEST DECISION EVER. I tried the first few lessons for free and although it was pretty easy, I wanted more. I skimmed over the lesson topics and checked the membership prices to debate if I should buy it. Eventually I caved in because 1)year long membership was on sale 2) if my favorite polyglot YouTuber used it and recommends it, I trust him. And 3) My friend can hold an intermediate level convo in Korean now. I can tell you for sure that after I got the membership and unlocked all the lessons, I have been glued to this app. I never feel unmotivated to log in each day and learn, I actually get excited and I love how there’s stories at the end of each lesson! I can spend as little as 5/10 minutes on this app to a whole hour! So if you’re wondering if it’s worth it... it is!! Go buy yourself a membership!! Now!!!

Initially I tried the free version to see how Lingodeer Russian compared to Duolingo Russian, to which I curently have a 1yr subscription......I liked what I saw from Lingodeer so purchased a 1 mo trial run. I find Lingodeer is superior in several key areas: the audio is very CLEAR, and does not sound robotic.......when questions are asked, the voice of the speaker actually RISES in intonation, unlike Duolingo, where most of the time you cannot tell if the speaker is making a statement,or asking a question..........the way the Cyrillic alphabet writing practice is integrated into learning phrases and vocabulary is FANTASTIC..............the ability to CHOOSE which vocabulary words you want to review in flashcards-writing practice is awesome, makes it easier to work on difficult words that are not similar to their English equivalent. One negative point, is that I wish more (perhaps 5-8) additional vocab words could be introduced in each lesson, because many Russian words are already easy to remember, since they are very similar to their English equivalents........and that additional lessons could be developed, as of right now, the Russian content looks small, compared to other languages like French. All in all, I am very impressed with the app; it is fun, and a great tool......not sure if they have a "Lifetime" or "Family Plan", but will look into it, and would love to see it offered if they don't yet have it.
