suggestion

i am loving ludus so far, it’s the best for learning korean in my opinion. one suggestion i have is adding a place where we can learn the alphabet and the sounds of each “letter”. it’s showing me words in korean and telling me to pick what it means in english, but i have not learned how to read or write in korean so im basically just guessing. other than that, the app is great thank you!

Great app

Overall everything seems fine, the lessons are enjoyable and easy to follow, the app seems complete and the visuals are cute. The only downside is that it is not free 💀 I could only do 2 or 3 lessons before being blocked because I do not have the premium version, so the other tools are also useless because I can’t go further and learn new words. Honestly I think making at least the jungle area free, and then putting the subscription for the next one is better !

Good but..

Ludus, I like how you make your game fun but I didn’t know there was a paid version and that hit me hard. Now it’s not that fun anymore.

Good, but some frustrating aspects

There is no way to choose your fluency level. I had to go through just about 20 lessons about hangul even though I already know it. If I didn’t accept the free trial, it would’ve taken me DAYS maybe weeks to get through that. During the Hangul writing practice, your answer will not register as correct even if it looks identical if the stroke order wasn’t correct. This wouldn’t be so bad if they TAUGHT you the stroke order beforehand, but they do not. You have to guess a few times before they just say you’re wrong and show you it. It is also not iPad compatible which is frustrating because I like to do writing practice with my Apple pen like I’m actually writing instead of my finger. I like the way it breaks things down though. That’s the biggest positive so far. I was considering buying the subscription but it’s been so frustrating that I will not be.

Great, but…

Not going to lie I’ve learned a bit in just the little while I’ve used this app. But when writing the jamo with my finger there are several it doesn’t recognize even if it’s done correctly. It also skips some key concepts that I had to google in order to even understand and continue the lesson.

Example, “before a pause” in Korean means a very specific thing and that concept is ignored entirely.

The best app

I was struggling to memorize Korean alphabet. This makes you retain it. The best app so far that I’ve been on. I’d give it a thousand stars if I could.

THE ONLY APP I USE NOW

I’ve tried SO many apps and nothing ever sticks. I finally feel like I’m actually retaining what I’m learning!

Response from developer

Thanks for choosing Ludus!

W app

🔥 Ludus > Quizlet

Beautiful, geeky and fun

It's like language learning for geeks! Word search saves you so much time compared to Quizlet, the gacha feature is genius, the art and music are beautiful and the interface is incredibly smooth and satisfactory. This is the highest quality around. I am pleasantly surprised 🫶

Language learning app that actually works

Started using this app as a way to practice French on a busy schedule, and it’s actually effective and useful for daily conversations. Instead of assigning specific vocab or grammar, I can personally choose what I want and need to learn. Super useful for anyone who wants to learn a completely new language or hone their existing skills!

Ludus is goated

Really helpful for actually learning a language. Combines features from apps I already like, but in a more effective way, with the system built on commonly used language and words. Curriculum is well structured Plus the art and interface are really well designed which makes for a great overall user experience.

French

I tried this app because Duolingo wasn’t really teaching me anything and it made all the difference I’m already learning phrases and punctuation I would totally recommend.

Zzzz.

Doesn’t do anything. There are no flash cards, because no words have been added, and there is no way to add words. Also, there is no way to access the “stadium(s).”

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. The inability to add words was a Chinese-specific issue, and we have fixed the bug. Stadiums are out only for select languages, but Chinese stadiums will be released soon. If you go to Stadiums and click on a lesson, it should say "Coming Soon." Currently, French has the most features available.

amazing

I love the yt series and excited for more features

Features don’t work

The scanning feature appears to be broken because I keep encountering an unexpected error when I try to use it.

There is no multi select option for the questions at the beginning.

In the translate sentence feature there is no option to get the audio of the whole sentence and that’s a little frustrating for beginners who haven’t even seen or heard any of these sentences.
It feels like a bunch of random words stuck together in a sentence and you have never seen it before. There is no option to go to the next sentence - I have to go back and then click on that feature again to get a new sentence.


The app has potential, but the bugs and errors need to be fixed.

Response from developer

The scan feature of our app was a really tough one to build, and we have since tabled it and focused on other features like building Stadium-style curriculums. Please let us know if you try our app again, find any other issues, or have any other feedback.

Up and coming app

Better than Duolingo. Art is satisfying as well as the easy to follow style to learn a language!

Peak Cinema

It’s so peak it almost made me shed a tear. And it’s peaker than duo lingo because duo keeps you chopped. And the art is also peak, i’m still requesting a fire penguin.

The next #1 learning tool

I have used several ways to work on languages throughout the years. Duolingo, Quizlet and much more.

This app is new, fun, and engaging with incredible design. If you don’t use Ludus, you’re Ludicrous!!

Love this!!

I just downloaded this and I love how the app is formatted and designed to help you learn. Being in university it’s hard to find time to learn a language and this app makes it so easy to learn on an everyday basis to improve gradually. Looking forward to my progress and growth with Ludus!!
