Honestly try it

I have been trying to learn Korean for some time now and Duolingo and Memrise and all the other one are good and all but if you want a app that teaches you, really well what terms mean try it out. I found that it so much better use it this to learn Korean than other language apps. Please download and try it your probably enjoy it. Ps* can’t say if it as good doing other languages through this app other than Korean but I’d say they all have the same standard. Which is amazing.

In love! Fills the gaps where other apps don't!

So many apps don't focus on the grammar and vocabulary so I'm stuck with shocking pronunciation and I don't know how sentence structure works (when I don't have time currently to use my grammar book as pay for a tutor) so this really helps!! I adore that you can turn romaji OFF! I hate when other apps won't let you because then I just stick with remembering English characters, not kana! Ugh! So thank you!! What a brilliant app. Love the interface, everything is so smooth, the test activities are varied, and I've only just started! Love the cute mascot deer too :3 brightens up my day (the yellow theme probably helps too). Thanks for reigniting my love for languages !! ❤️❤️ just studying Japanese right now as I have a language study trip coming up, but I'm SO excited to learn Korean and Chinese next. Ahhhh !! Love it!!

Amazing app. Deleted memrise and Duolingo and drops.

I had a yearly memrise subscription, that I cancelled, and then deleted the app.
I had a Duolingo app, but it was very slow paced, deleted - not my style.
I tried out drops, but it was slow paced as well.
Then I found out about LingoDeer, and it has changed my language learning habits for life. This app is free and I could learn the languages that I want to learn with the proper grammar involved. The other two apps don’t show how the grammar is used. This app shows the sentence structure and how the language is co trusted, making it easier to learn Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. I am enjoying this app so much, that I feel so guilty when I don’t touch LingoDeer for a day. It’s free which is such a godsend. The developers of this app are really modest people to offer it for free, no annoying ads or time limits in it either! I’ve learnt that three of these languages have shared words, and it’s so much fun!

A recommendation for improvement though, maybe an easier way to switch between the languages? Like a little drop down at the top of the main learning screen would help. I like switching to keep the brain going!

Anyway, huge thanks to the developers who have made this app. You are truly gifted people who have given broke college students like me a will to live! Thank you!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Amazing App!! I definitely recommend

Anyone learning a major Asian language should be using this app. First of all, it’s free and there’s no in app purchases.. so that’s like enough said. I’m learning Korean and I have to say I haven’t found a lot of apps that teach grammar and sentence structure as well as this one. It also adds in vocab with every lesson. The pace doesn’t start off too hard, and stays pretty consistent, so you aren’t giving up a few days in. It’s light practice, easily explained, and very aesthetically fun. Would work for kids or adults. I’ve only been using it for about 5-10 min a day, skipping a couple days, for about 2 months and I’m about 70% done with the course, so I feel good about myself. And there are optional review sessions as well (the fact that review is optional is actually really nice compared to some other apps) so when I do finish the app, I’ll just go back and review everything... for the rest of my life probably. 10/10 would recommend 👍🏼

best learning app ever!

i’m someone who struggles with a learning disability making it harder for me to learn languages. which is a real shame because i really like k pop. i sort of started to teach myself on my own with the songs but i couldn’t read actual korean, which is sort of needed in the community. Out of all the apps i’ve tried, this one works REALLY well! they’re very rewarding and seeing the sad little deer makes you wanna try harder when you fail! not to mention the overall design is easy on the eyes! and there’s videos to help you read and speak the language!! duolingo didn’t have that. like tf how am i supposed to know if i’m saying it correctly?? i just wish there was a way they could tell you if your pronunciation is close to the other persons, instead of comparing and contrasting and hearing your own voice over and over again. i know it’s hard to program these things, but it would be sooo beneficial in the end. i stumbled upon this app on a whim and i’m glad i did! i never wanna use another app again for korean TT^TT

Pretty good

I’ve only been using it for a little bit but it’s actually really good would definitely recommend it for learning korean

Best App for Korean 💕

I have other apps like Drops or Memrise that are good for vocab words but they struggle when it comes to sentences and they still have a hard time using only 한글, which is essential for learning correctly.

With LingoDeer, however, the romanizations were gone right away(you can choose to turn them on if you wish), and I could test up to the level where I was at in my learning! I can always go back and complete any of the old levels for review, and the tips before each of the lessons are really helpful.

My other favorite thing is the sentences, they are broken down easily, you can listen and look at each individual word, and you have listening options for voice speed. Plus, the voice sounds perfectly natural and very clear. This app is really helpful if you want to get a good grasp of 한글 and Korean sentence structure! I’ve literally told all my friends who are learning Korean, Chinese, or Japanese to get this app because I love it!! Thank you!!

Excellent App for New Learners

The big advantage I have found in this app over some others, is the explanation of grammatical features. This can really clear things up and make sense of sentences when it could otherwise be guesswork.
Disadvantage of this app is that it you can feel a bit isolated. This could be a plus for some but I like to be able to converse with others on the same journey. Perhaps a feature for down the track. Otherwise an excellent, well paced learning tool.

Great App

This app is actually amazing. the courses are really fun and interactive and I enjoy using the app. the cute little drawings make it so much more enjoyable. Compared to Duolingo, the Korean course was so helpful, it explained to me how and where the subject/object/verb should be used in a sentence. this app is just the best and I have recommended it to all my friends who also wanted to learn korean and have all moved over from Duolingo to this app. I enjoy this app so much and I am so thankful that you have made it completely free. and maybe in the future, you can add an in app purchase where we pay around a dollar which would support you and you could give us costumes to dress up the really cute deer and personalise it to how we like. just a suggestion :)) thank you for developing this app, I am so happy with it.

Fast learning, enough recap

I’m learning Korean, and This app is quick to get to the good, important and structural stuff, all while feeling you tons of vocabulary and recapping a ton. You don’t even need to think about “studying” because the app takes care of that for you - just follow it through. If you’re stuck, the learning tabs at the start of the level spell it all out easily - there are tons of levels, (haven’t finished them all so not sure if they’re all free) - but I’ve got a sizeable amount done for free - it’s the kind of app I know when I finish, just for the skill I’ve acquired for free, the developers are getting a donation from me. Apps like these are so important and useful, and easy and intuitive to use. It’s like learning the language in your sleep! If you’re on the fence, don’t be! Download it!
