Most language-learning apps are an absolute waste of time.

Some have spent so much on marketing and gamification that they’ve convinced the population learning through them works. Some focus on vocabulary alone and provide no context at all, expecting people to remember new words without even seeing how to use them. Some are just alright but definitely not the right option if any other is available.

Then, there are the language learning apps not aimed at teaching but at getting support from others. HiNative, Polygloss, and HelloTalk, are a few examples.

And finally, the holy grail apps were not made for language learners.

I’ve been learning languages for 14 years. It’s allowed me to speak 6 languages but if I had used those sooner, I probably would be speaking more languages at a better level.

Because these apps and their associated websites can really change the game.

Webtoons

Webtoons are manwhas supposed to be read on a smartphone. They originally come from Korea, although there are more and more from other countries today.
