Scam

Literally the scammiest app I have EVER had the displeasure of downloading. App said $119.99 for lifetime access, and it charged me $180. As if that wasn’t bad enough, it charged me $180 TWICE. Twice! And it didn’t even work, said my payment method was declined even when I checked my bank account and it DID charge. Please take my advice and consider before purchasing ANYTHING off this scam app, everyone.

Amazing!

I’ve only been using it for a short time, but it’s been really beneficial. I came from learning Japanese on Duolingo because I aim to go there in a few years time (to Japan, not Duolingo!), but I found it incredibly challenging. Unlike Duo (which is still a great way to learn languages casually, and is lots of fun due to the social aspect as well as the quick-fire lessons), Lingo tells you WHY certain symbols are placed where they are in sentences. While Duo’s swift lessons are enjoyable, they don’t help develop your understand of the language - rather, they focus more on just KNOWING words and letters from it. That isn’t a problem for languages such as Spanish, but for more challenging and complex ones like Japanese, it isn’t enough. Which is why I’d recommended LingoDeer! I feel like I’ve learned so much from just ten minutes using the app - and it’s completely free if you don’t choose to pay for the premium option (which is still good value). It’s also a good option for non-asian languages too. All in all, it’s a very well-rounded experience, not to be overshadowed by its green-feathered lookalike. Thank you for making a great learning tool!

Keeps crashing

Ios 16 please fix

Wonderful but…

It’s great but you have to pay for every second lesson great but kind of disappointing

The best language app for learning Korean

This is the best language app I’ve found for getting started with Korean vocabulary and grammar. Nothing else even comes close. I would highly recommend it if Korean is your target language. It is well worth the cost.

All of the other apps I’ve tried felt like their Korean language tracks were incomplete or not designed with a language like Korean in mind. You can tell that LingoDeer got its start with Southeast Asian languages because it does such a good job teaching them.

And if you are interested in any of the other languages on the platform, I still think that LingoDeer will likely do a better job than any other app. I have only spent a lot of time with Korean, but I have compared Arabic across a few different language learning apps as well and the way the script and the language was introduced on LingoDeer was so much better than anywhere else.

The alphabet

I’ve trying to learn Japanese with this app but I realize the alphabet wasn’t correct

Trust me, this Deer won’t hurt you like the Owl

Alright so look, we all know that persistence is key in most things - the more you practice something, the easier it becomes etc etc. But unlike the Owl who threatens you, this Deer just calmly reminds you to come back and practice - and not just that, the exercises are actually engaging and you get to critique yourself by reading it aloud and then playing it back to you. Also, even if you don’t know the answer to one of the questions, you can press the little volume-looking button and it will read it to you as like a hint. I’m not even paying for the app but I think I actually will in the near future because I’ve actually learned more (while not paying) than I did in my middle school Spanish 1-2
So, if you’re still on the fence, I’d say just try it. It’s free, wont cost you anything. But I can guarantee like 80%-90% of y’all will actually make progress with this app, like I have.

Helps better than Duolingo!! (Russian)

So, I love this app, and it helps me with learning a new language stat! I am currently learning Russian and it is a blast!! It is way better then Duolingo, I tried learning Russian with Duolingo and it just didn’t work. It mad everything complicated, with Lingodeer they start you off slow. I would have changed my German course on Duolingo but, I am a little too far to quit and try again. I was trying to find a new language app for Russian and I found this one! It had great reviews and the stars are high! And, when I got on the app, it was the best!!

I have 3 different language apps that help me. This one, Duolingo, and Memrise. 2/3 help me with the languages! So far, this app has not been any cause of trouble to me! It’s so good!!!! On my Duolingo I got hacked and lost everything and I had to start over! This one is just better!

Thank you for making this app! I love it so much!

Worth it!!

I’ve only been using this app everyday for about a week now, but the amount of words and sentences that I have learned is amazing. I am using the app to learn Korean. For the beginner level, the app teaches you sentences in an “add on” approach, as in you learn a word or sentence and then add more/different words to change the meaning slightly. For instance, you’d learn how to say “Korean”, then “Korean person”, then “I am a Korean person”, etc until you’re making full sentences. This way, you are able to learn new things without forgetting what you’ve already learned previously. There are pop quizzes you can take, and you can even review your lessons in story form so you can apply what you have learned to real conversation. If you are diligent with your learning and use the app to its fullest, you won’t be disappointed. Best of luck with your studies!

I am a new student.

And I find that having notes that clearly explain why, is a huge help. In (this is my third day with LINGODEER) just a few days, even in the intro classes, I have learned things that made no sense to me before. It is refreshing and drives me back to wanting to learn more! I learn better when not frustrated. LATER, I am actually learning how to spell en español….that has always been a problem for me, but they have a unique way of teaching spelling. TODAY….I noticed that Lingo always has speech available! I can tap to reinforce what I heard, or just practice with a new word. There are sentences where I read and then get a grade on pronunciation. I learn by hearing, so this is ideal. LINGO takes your mistakes and gently (no more sentences over and over ad nauseam) brings it back in another format; in a spelling or ‘insert a word’ format. I realize later that I now understand what I got wrong AND WHY!!!!
