LingoDeer Reviews and details

• Recommendations for apps

  Https://lingodeer.com is the most helpful app I've used. It's focus is grammar, but you'll learn vocab too, and the notes on there are incredible.

It gives explanations for every lesson and breaks down individual grammar points, rather than just throwing everything at you with no context (which might work for European languages, but is too simplistic for Asian languages as an English speaker).
