TL;DR
An audio-heavy platform that uses massive repetition of sentences to develop fluency. It requires discipline and is not for absolute beginners.
A classic course based on books and audio. It offers a structured path with solid grammar but lacks the interactive features of modern apps.

Description

Description

Glossika employs an audio-lingual method, exposing users to thousands of natural sentences for repetition. The goal is to internalize grammatical patterns and sentence structures through high-volume listening and speaking practice, rather than explicit study. Its algorithm uses spaced repetition to schedule reviews. While powerful for developing an intuitive feel for a language, the method is highly repetitive by design and provides no grammar explanations, making it challenging for those who prefer more analytical approaches.

Living Language offers a comprehensive, traditional method that has been refined over decades. Its courses are built around structured books and accompanying audio, focusing on dialogues, explicit grammar explanations, and cultural notes. This approach is thorough and great for learners who prefer a clear curriculum over a gamified app experience. While it provides a solid foundation, it is less interactive than modern platforms and lacks significant built-in tools for live speaking practice.
