Pimsleur’s app has flashcards, reading, and lets you talk to the app. Pimsleur rates your pronunciation, which is helpful for toning down your foreign accent. It follows a spaced repetition strategy to grow your vocabulary and it leans heavily on short dialogs using the vocabulary in context. What it doesn’t do very well is explain the grammar rules, so you have to figure that out yourself. The lessons come in “levels”, which are like a 30 lesson class. The first two levels will get you close to A1 proficiency, at least verbally. At the end of level 5, that’s close to A2, though you’ll need to add some reading to learn enough vocabulary.
Out of all the apps you’ve listed Pimsleur is the only app I love. I really disliked all the other apps. It’s interesting how people have different learning styles, but when you think about it, and people in the language community don’t talk enough about this, is how we learned our native language since we were babies and that was strictly listening and speaking and that’s it! I don’t think kids learn how to start reading and writing until kindergarten, grade 1 I think? I’ve never understood the whole visual aspect with flash cards, etc., but to each their own. Whatever works best for each individual.
I agree with you. I tried Pimsleur, and I like it. Now I am trying Rocket Languages, which is similar to Pimsleur, but I can read the texts while I listen to the conversation and pronunciation.
@@abbasmohamed8167 I think it’s depends where you live, I got Pimsleur from the public library in Seattle for free, but I had to wait because there were other people waiting.
I use Duolingo. But Duolingo has two problems. Writing and speaking. Writing getting less than two years ago. Speaking ( Duolingo doesn't check your voice)
My problem with duolingo is sometimes I know the answer but don't know how to spell it or spell/type it fast enough and don't get answers in time or spelt correctly. Because I am dyslexic and can't spell in English very well either. So wish i could just say the answer.
I’m using Pimsleur for Japanese, but it’s getting tedious because it isn’t really teaching grammar, or alternative ways of saying things. Babel doesn’t even teach Japanese.
I am using Pimsleur for Japanese as well, I just completed level 3 and I’m about to start level 4. Just out of curiosity, have you completed all 5 levels by now? As a way of complementing my learning when it comes to grammar and more vocab, I’m taking lessons once a week with a native teacher, I also take notes after every Pimsleur lesson to practice Hiragana and Katakana and writing down the class material have actually helped me figure out some grammar structures as well.
Pimsleur is good but only for the languages French, Mandaring Portugués and even Finnish however it lacks languages such as Malay which is what I’m currently interested in. :/
Does anyone have any recommendations for people who grew up speaking Spanish but had no formal school training (reading and grammar) I find it hard to stick with programs like duolingo because the vocabulary and phrases are so basic that I just get bored.

You learn pronunciation but you can't write the words, unless you will never write a language then pimlseur is the way to go
Is it free or charged?

Duo's problem is it is very light on providing explanations.
And it kidnaps ur family too😞
For beginners it's really good
But don't really totally on it

I would like to know how you actually practice learning languages with which applications :)

Yeah I can definitely see that. Have you tried my app search? You could find language apps that do teach Japanese
Try Japanese with Michel Thomas method.

Busuu is the best 🎉❤
anki/glossika is the best
Not my favorite but glad you're getting results !

Although not exactly the same, Pimsleur does have Indonesian. They are mutually intelligible with each other to a high degree.
Im not really motivated to learn languages by gamification 😅
Same. It just gets annoying to me
Great coverage! What’s your take on using AI apps like ChatGPT or Fluenti to practice speaking?
Nothing wrong with it as long as you have reasonable expectations. That's my take on any approach, really
not mature ennough yet for your to rely on them

That's what my language app search is for! But off the top of my head: clozemaster, conjuguemos, and Lingvist might help
What are your thoughts on Rocket Languages?
thank you, very useful!
Is there a language app that teaches different dialects from the same language?
Yes, depends on the language
Busuu does

Fascinating video
mosalingua is the best. it does everything develops all part of language.
Jamie are you from?
Sadly none of these apps have the African languages I want to learn.
Is there any application that I can practice to other people just by speaking directly and freely???
hi talk
How is this a top 5 list without rocket language which is a better Pimsleur
Because rocket languages isn't as popular/well known as pimsleur
Thank You*
I'm so depressed right now! I'm in the demotion zone!!
Why? What for?
