Way better than the other, more expensive apps that people keep raving about. I also use an app called Kanji Tree (android) to practice drawing, reading and identifying kanji characters. Also, the hiragana characters over the kanji can help, but I have removed it a long time ago because I felt like I was learning slower. Lingodeer's upside is that they have better grammar section (I barely read those but if you're into that because I can intuit it at this point but if you need it, go ahead) and the alphabet section. I love him and it's helped me reinforce Spanish and learn Japanese at the same time.Įdit: I forgot some very important stuff. He's a native Spanish speaker who teaches Japanese via YouTube. Spanish and Japanese, eh? You should check out Kira. Lingodeer will have you feeling like you can say more but I've honestly learned hundreds of words in a two-week span just going through Duolingo as well. LingoDeer is similar to Duolingo in its game-like structure and cute mascot guiding. Both of these apps, to me, are vocabulary builders. You must be connected to Wi-Fi or have a data plan to use this app. But in general, I think they both work the same way and I need the same supplemental resources (books, video, audio, writing prompts and so on) to see the improvement that I can actually use to speak to natives. Lingodeer is a very good application and sometimes I feel like it's 'better' to aid me than Duolingo.
