The fields of computational linguistic and AI are growing, which means language apps are improving by leaps and bounds. I love languages and I study them just for fun; over the years I\u2019ve tried Spanish, French, German, Ukrainian, and Polish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My latest obsession is Russian. I never dreamt I\u2019d be able to read another alphabet, and I couldn\u2019t have accomplished it without the help of language learning and translation apps, most of which are free to use or at least very affordable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But how do you know if the translation or lesson you are receiving is accurate? Well, I\u2019ve tried each and every one of the most common language apps (and a few lesser known ones) and I can tell you honestly which ones are amazing, good enough, or mediocre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

DuoLingo<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The most popular language-learning app on the planet, DuoLingo is known for its gamified, free content. Besides having the most extensive library of languages, they also offer a few endangered (Navajo, Hawaiian), fantasty (Klingon, High Valyrian), and obscure (Esperanto) languages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have DuoLingo to thank for my success in the Russian language. In a matter of 9 months of study I managed to get pretty far, although with many useless sentences such as \u201cMy horse is not an artist, but an architect.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only downside: sometimes the translations are weird to native speakers\u2014not exactly wrong, but not what they expected, such as a formal word that is falling out of usage or an unusual word order. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Google Translate App<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Everyone knows the web version of Google translate\u2014it appears as the top result in Google whenever you search \u201cHow do you say word<\/em> in language<\/em>.\u201d Click on Open in Google Translate<\/em> to view more definitions and forms of the word, plus translate documents and websites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Better still, is the Google translate app. It has a conversation function allows you to translate in real time using AI to perceive the language being spoken. Although pretty amazing, it\u2019s not perfect yet. Google\u2019s detection tool can get a little dyslexic and will pick up the sounds I make, matching them to similar sounding words in the wrong language. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The translations are verified by users, and similar to Wikipedia, anyone can contribute. I\u2019m not fluent, but I just verified a few English to Russian translations, and now I\u2019m having imposter syndrome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Lingopie<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You know how they say one of best ways to learn a language is by watching movies? Well, I\u2019ve tried it both ways\u2014Russian with subtitles in English, and English overdubs with subtitles in Russian. But I really need to see both sets of subtitles to learn new words.

Lingopie is exactly the product I was looking for! Imagine Netflix with dual, interactive subtitles\u2014click on any word or phrase for a pop up definition and pronounciation (this auto-pauses the show). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the right sidebar on desktop, you\u2019ll see a running list of the subtitles so you can return to them for practice or add them to your dictionary. As a learner of a language in a different alphabet, I was impressed by they included the transliteration from Cyrillic to Roman to make pronunciation easier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Memrise<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Say it three times fast! Lessons on Memrise have more of a human touch with short video clips of native speakers reciting sounds, words, and phrases. On the mobile app, you can hear the audio only, no video. Beneath the video are additional audio recordings of other native speakers, since no two people sound the same. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lessons are broken up into \u201cscenarious,\u201d and can be tailored by selecting \u201cI already know this\u201d or \u201cTeach me this.\u201d The voice recordings are the most authentic and high-quality I have heard so far. And they have a decent amount of free content in each section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Reverso<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It sources it\u2019s translations from multilingual texts such as government documents and movie subtitles, and provides those examples of context beneath the translation so you can see how the words function together in usage. It even has a conjugation tab where you can enter a verb (in any form) and it will show you all of the tenses. This function is available in 10 languages only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, Reverso translates 18 languages, whereas Google claims 133, but I find the quality of Reverso way better. How do I know? Well, I popped a few English phrases into both Google translate and Reverso to compare, and after asking a few Russian-speaking friends, Reverso\u2019s translations to be more accurate and the pronunciation more authentic. They also recently added Ukrainian which they\u2019ve done a good job with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

LingoDeer<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If learning languages stresses you out, I recommend Lingo Deer. It comes with a very chill vibe. Your mascot is a deer and you are being guided through a walking path of exercises with cute drawings and animations. The sound effects you hear when you get it right or wrong are non-invasive and the teaching voice sounds like a happy, carefree child. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An innovative feature is the voice recording which actually captures your voice and plays it back, so you can compare your pronounciation with the teaching voice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Rosetta Stone<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Considered the gold standard of language learning, Rosetta Stone<\/a> it is how I developed a pretty decent vocabulary of German phrases. Although it has no explicit grammar instruction, it is as close as you can come to true immersion with exercises for listening, speaking, and matching pictures with words. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a static product which means the content never changes, but they have created live webinars for specific topics like \u201cGerman idioms.\u201d Remember when everyone was stuck in the house and bored during 2020? Well, the owners of Rosetta Stone saw it as an opportunity and they practically gave away the product with a lifetime\/all languages subscription for $199 as a pandemic special. It is definitely best two hundred bucks I\u2019ve ever spent in my life, and even $20 cheaper now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Babbel<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cleverly named after the Tower of Babel<\/a> origin myth about how multiple languages came in to existence, the Babbel app contains lessons in 14 languages. I\u2019ve noticed they break words in phonemes, a groups of sounds, which is not something I see a lot on language apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Less gamified than DuoLingo, Babbel has a sleek and sophisticated interface. It is meant to feel like you are turning the pages of a virtual textbook with exercises and flash cards. The prompts act as a self-aware virtual teacher holding your hand with pop-ups like, \u201cDid you notice? These words use the letters that you\u2019ve already seen!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Mango Languages<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Mango wins for most outstanding feature! You are presented with an audio recording and waveform from a Native speaker, you hold down the microphone icon, record your audio, and then line the waveform up with the original and play them back simultaneously to see and hear the areas where your pronounciation needs improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

HelloTalk<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A social media app disguised as a language learning app, HelloTalk is going to eat up a lot of my time. The platform is focused on developing a profile, following between users, and communicating in real time. It has a feeds similar to Facebook sorted by All, Learn, Nearby, Following, and Help Others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Live tab has video events and audio rooms hosted by members to practice conversational skills or contribute comments to discuss issues of vocabulary, grammar, pronounciation or any topic related to language. I\u2019m very impressed with the app for being uniquely interactive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Pimsleur<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I tried Pimleur for French years ago when it was a set of CDs! I remember listening to lessons on the subway and picking up enough French phrases to get me through my travels. It\u2019s been a while, so I signed up for the one free lesson they offer on their website. I chose Ukrainian. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I listened on my headphones while I was cleaning up the apartment\u2014no screen, hands-free\u2014and after 30 minutes I can confidently say \u201cExcuse me. Do you speak English? I speak a little Ukrainian. I am American.\u201d Each word was broken down into syllables to repeat again and again. I know half an hour sounds like a long time for 4 sentences, but I woke up the next morning having retained what I learned.

They don\u2019t have a free version like the other apps do and I can see why. They claim to have you \u201cspeaking like a native in 30 days.\u201d After my trial lesson, I\u2019m convinced it\u2019s good investment especially since I want to reduce my screen time<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are many great language apps out there and deciding which one is best for you depends upon your goals and your learning style. Do you want to work alone or find a language partner? How much focus do you want to place on vocabulary, pronounciation, grammar, or culture? Do you want to feel motivated by the design and layout of the app, or are you more concerned with the quality of content?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
