Migaku: Really Learn Languages

I’ve been wanting to learn Japanese for a few months and watched tons of videos on how to get started but still had a hard time knowing quite what to do…but then I found Migaku. This combined pretty much everything I’d read and watched online about how to learn Japanese into one app. Everything is taught through flashcards in a spaced repetition system. It starts by teaching Kana, then around 200 Kanji/kanji components. After that it begins teaching words using those kanji, which are always and tied into a new grammar topics and put in context with a sentence. Kana and Kanji flashcards come with mnemonics, and you can add personalized ways to remember to both these and word flashcards. After 3-6 months, you have been introduced to the top 80% of words and kanji and can begin learning through immersion, creating in depth flashcards of new words straight from books or tv shows. I’ve been at it for about a month and am learning new things every day. I no longer have to wonder what I’m supposed to be learning or if I’m doing it right—Migaku lays it out so clearly. I feel like a child learning to read, with a thrill of pride and excitement every time I pick out a single word I understand in my new language in a random show or song or book. It takes time and effort, but so far it seems that this app really teaches you. It’s not just a money grab or a scam or a game, but it’s also not a textbook or lecture. In my humble opinion, it’s seems to be reaching above all of this. It seems to be the perfect way to learn a language :3

From recording audio and making flashcards using YouTube to just taking lessons is so fun and effective. Must have for any language.

By far the best app I’ve personally used for learning Japanese. This is the number thing I’d recommend if you are serious about learning a language.
