Which one is better for vocabulary

[@BischannelYT]

As a person who uses pimsleur and Innovative since 2008, i agree it's on God tier

[@_cesarjoseph]

what makes you say that? I skipped straight to level 5 and I don't think the Spanish is deep. I thought it was very slow as well

[@quantus5875]

@@_cesarjoseph Pimsleur IMO is not good on it's own, but most language apps aren't either. Where Pimsleur excels is when you want to learn how to speak. I actually suggest not starting with Pimsleur until you maybe are an advanced A2 or beginner B1 level, build up your vocab and listening skills first, before you start learning how to produce output. Yes, easily God tier.

Personally, I really like Mango Languages. Really good depth on the "big" languages (Latin American Spanish has over 700 lessons), structured, a hands-free listening only mode, reading and listening comprehension exercises. Love it.

[@robxfong00]

A super useful video and love your frank and honest assessments. This is one of the few videos that highlights whether the app is better for developing reading/writing or speaking/listening skills. This will help potential learners identify their objectives better and choose the right app. I love this video and your channel. Keep up the great work!

[@loistalagrand]

Thanks!

[@theunknowngamer2397]

RIP Rooster unless he was spared. In all seriousness, I'm a firm Innovative Languages. It seems like it was made for people who can't just focus on one single long lesson at a time like Pimsleur or even Rocket Languages. The main "Path" is super linear, but I've found myself going into the library of content and just doing random 3 minute video lessons or listening to the "Current Events" section. There's almost no end to the content they packed in the JapanesePod site and I'll probably be using it for years before I get to some sort of endpoint.

[@loistalagrand]

I chased him away, these things run way too fast! I agree with you for JapanesePod101. Great resource.

[@cajeb5396]

Big thing for Mango is it is free w/ a library card, at least where I live. The Tagalog course is pretty short but it’s has some pros. Color coding grammar, flashcards and vocab list after the lesson, you can switch the lesson to audio only mode if you’re driving or working out.

I have Pimsleur Japanese and Rocket Language Japanese. Pimsleur is awesome to get you to speak and understand, and make your pronunciation amazing. Rocket is it's father, it goes just like Pimsleur's approach, but it allows you to talk and check if what you said sounded good, plus all the extra content. Pimsleur Japanese can take about 5 months to complete, and Rocket will take about 2 years.

[@loistalagrand]

HAve you finished Rocket?

[@geekatari4391]

@@loistalagrand No, I just started it like six months ago.

[@pimsleur]

FYI. Pimsleur also have a pronunciation feedback AI tool called Voice Coach.

[@quantus5875]

Absolutely love Pimsleur but not complete on its own. I'd argue that no app is complete on its own. The problem with most apps is you run out of content, or they are what I call "assistance" apps to help learn vocab, or something like that. Pimsleur is the best when you want to learn how to speak. Yes, God tier. btw: Never bought the app -- bought the CD version of Pimsleur for Brazilian Portuguese for $100 off of eBay. Love it!! On Rosetta Stone -- love RS!! -- If you're a visual learner it is an easy way to get you to A2 as a starter app. Always a believer is starting with a starter app. RS excels if you are a visual learner -- and just to say vocab apps are just as good -- shows a very poor understanding of Rosetta Stone. Fantastic app. The only thing I wish is -- I actually finished the RS course in Portuguese and then I was done -- and no more content to get me to B1. RS was a great way to get to advanced A2 -- just wish they had an advanced course in Portuguese. They do have advanced courses for some languages like English, Spanish, French, etc. -- but unfortunately not for Portuguese.

[@Martin.T.C]

I think Glossika is best for someone who's gone through another program and now wants to expand beyond the basics. I like the depth of the course, but how Glossika prioritizes and orders how vocabulary is introduced is puzzling. For example, in Latin American Spanish, I'm pretty sure you can work through the first 1,000 sentences and still not know the names of days of the week and months of the year or know the names of primary colors or count to fifty.

[@millyzaidan]

Do you think that Glossika help a people b1?

[@Martin.T.C]

@@millyzaidan I have only used Latin American Spanish. That one definitely has enough vocabulary and practice sentences to reach B2, probably somewhere into C1. Other languages in Glossika may be different if they cover less vocabulary and have fewer sentences.

[@misscamay]

Langster is pretty good too at least in Spanish, not boring and bote sized articles based on real news. Not frustrating, you’d feel that you understands what you’re reading.

[@Bigparr43]

I used Rosetta Stone many years ago because a friend got it free through his job. I tried the Japanese, which was great because I am an extremely visual learner but what I used of it didn't teach me any Kanji and barely touched Kana. I wish there were good language learning apps that are tailored to visual learners. It is hard for me to sit down and focus for an hour straight on reading with no visual media to supplement it. Thankfully my college textbooks had a lot of examples due to the visual/tactile nature of my major

[@VysNhatAnh]

Immersive Translate is another great way to become fluent in another language. I use it to practice my Vietnamese every day, and I have to say, the more I use it, the closer I get to mastering another language.

[@sunce0072]

I wonder why nobody mentions OUINO. Is it because they think it's bad or because it's limited to just 5 languages?

Hello Talk = God tier. Once you have a basic grasp of a language there is no better tool, just use a translator and learn the phrases you need/hear. Those other apps won't teach you real life conversation skills, except maybe the tutoring ones. If your goal is to have conversations and make friends then HT will be super motivating. If you just want to consume movies and books with zero human interaction, then sure HT is "Meh tier".
