My top 15 language learning apps 📱
Click here for the full post with links!
(Not in any particular order)
- Busuu: My personal fav, great for learners who like structure, full courses, and stats // Free and paid
- italki: One of the most popular language resources for a reason! Great for learners who want personalized training and speaking practice // Paid (though the community features are free!)
- LingoDeer: Similar to Busuu. Great for Asian language learners, in particular, and those who like structure // Free and paid (mostly paid)
- Pimsleur: 30 minute audio lessons you can take on the go. Great for learners with busy lives or those who prefer audio lessons // Paid
- LingQ: Learning through context and reading. Great for learners who prefer naturally and intuitively learning, rather than strict and structured plans // Free and paid
- Babbel: Similar to Busuu and ideal for learners of one language who like structured plans (each language costs extra!!) // Paid
- Memrise: Started as just a flashcard app and now has proper courses with video and audio! Best for those who like to actively learn lots of vocab // Free with some (unnecessary) paid features
- Language Transfer: Audio lessons with the goal of achieving a deep understanding of the language first and foremost. Best for learners who like intuitive, audio learning // Completely free!!
- Duolingo: You already know this one, I’m sure! Fun, gamified learning, ideal for learners of European languages (not quite comprehensive enough for „complex“ languages compared to English -> eg Chinese, Japanese, etc) // Free! With some paid features, if desired
- Mango: Structured course that is great for beginners! Tons of languages offered (70+!) // Paid
- Speechling: This app focuses on perfecting pronunciation. Ideal for learners of a language with difficult pronunciation in particular // Free and paid
- Beelinguapp: Similar to LingQ. This app focuses on learning with context via reading // Free for one language, paid for 2+ languages and extra features
- HelloTalk: A language exchange app that connects learners of a language with native speakers, all with the goal of helping you teach and learn via their chat // Free, but a paid VIP membership is offered
- Innovative Language Learning: This is the company that created all of the Pod101 and Class101 resources! A very substantial resource with thousands of podcast episodes and videos // Free and paid
- Drops: A vocab learning app with a cute and simple layout // Mostly free with some paid features
+ A bonus (not necessarily language learning specific) app: Google Lens! Great to scan a book you’re reading, or a menu, or a poem, etc. You can then listen to it in your TL or native language and see a translation (per sentence, not word!) // Free!

Do any other multilingual peeps do the thing where you try to say something in one language, but you use grammar from another language? Like, I'll be out here using German grammar for Russian.

Everytime I hear the phrase "Great Minds think alike" I am inevitably reminded that the German equivalent is "Zwei Dumme ein Gedanke" (Two Idiots same thought)
