   Really a complete program!

   I used many language apps and programs before, but I found LinguaLift really provided me with the tools and encouragement I needed to become fluent. The app is great, but what really made the difference was the study plan they created for me and the tutor support.

   🏁 Competitors: Duolingo

   👍 Pros:    Customized study plan|Tutor support|Spaced repetition|Teach culture and language

   👎 Cons:    Limited number of languages

• Question about duoling

  Duolingo is fine for practice, if your bored, and if you have a decent grasp of the language. It does not teach you kanji at all, and kanji have multiple readings, you may know. So on a listening exercise, the word bank might have the kanji you know, but the furigana above it might not be what is being said in the listening exercise.

• Anyone got me beat on a pure Japanese streak?

  My Duolingo Japanese streak is only 943, but my iknow.jp streak is 2707. I also sometimes do the English for Japanese speakers course to change it up. I am a sucker for anything with a streak count. Although when I do the math for my streak on iknow, its like realizing how long I have been in my career for, and I am like "oh no... I am not as good as I thought I would be by now...". Source: almost 2 years ago

• Do you or have you used Italki to learn Japanese?

  I'm only using Italki to learn Japanese at the moment because I have discipline issues. Before I was using a website iknow.jp to learn vocabulary and Wanikani to learn kanji and some words. They just gave me vocabulary and kanji recognition. Source: almost 2 years ago
