APPS WE LOVE

Learn the Building Blocks of a Language

LingoDeer makes mastering the fundamentals fun.

With lessons that dive deep into grammar, spelling, and culture, LingoDeer can help you learn a new language from the ground up.

What we love: How the quick, 10-minute lessons taught us more than just how to recognize words. Right from the start, we learned to spell new words too.

LingoDeer has lessons for over 10 languages, including Japanese, and shows you how to write out each character.

Quick tip: Record your own voice reading a custom story. It’s a fun way to hear how your pronunciation has improved as you grow more fluent.

Meet the creator: Founders Wang Zhulong and Zhang Jie believe in the importance of building a solid foundation when mastering a language. “You need to understand its structure and culture—not just memorize words,” Zhang Jie says.
