Days and Words | Is It the Best Language App? - LINGVIST Review Part 2 @daysandwords | Uploaded October 2019 | Updated October 2024, 11 minutes ago.
I compare the new language learning app and website LINGVIST to popular alternatives such as Duolingo, Memrise, Anki and LingQ.

It's one achilles heal as a language learning resource is that you can only learn French, Spanish, German, Russian and English with it. Otherwise, Lingvist is the perfect tool for upper beginner to advanced learners. If you are sick of Duolingo and Glossika etc., then write to Lingvist to see when they might be getting your language.

So that you know I am not trying to hate on another learning app, I want to say that Steve Kaufmann who is one of the co-founders and owners of Lingq is a great guy with some very sound advice on language learning. He has TONNES of good videos, here is a recent one:

I think that Lingvist is better than all the other language learning apps I mentioned except for Busuu quite simply because the design is better but the programming and the learning theory, spaced repetition and user interaction are at least as good if not better as well.
What is Lingvist? Lingvist is a high level flashcard style vocabulary building tool, although they’re not technically flash cards: with some additional features. So it has other features… yes. But it is not a full language acquisiton program, like for example, Babbel or my favourite Busuu – in my opinion, the completely spherical, all in one complete beginner to proficient language learning program does not yet exist. Busuu is as close as anything comes, but it’s still not quite there.

For those wanting to know how do you use Duolingo so as to best learn a language, I would argue that Lingvist is the answer. Writing in the target language rather than your language, plus a better spaced repetition system than Memrise means that you learn your target language faster and better than alternatives such as LingQ or Anki.
There is also Glossika but in my opinion it's overpriced by at least 100% (yes, 100%). If you know of another language learning app that I should try, please let me know!
I love languages. I love learning them, talking about them, talking about learning them... This channel is not just about French and Swedish, it's about any and all languages.
If you like languages and learning language then stick around!
