TL;DR
Ask native speakers questions about their language and culture, from "Does this sound natural?" to pronunciation help.
An audio-heavy platform that uses massive repetition of sentences to develop fluency. It requires discipline and is not for absolute beginners.

Description

Description

HiNative functions as a global Q&A forum connecting language learners with native speakers. Instead of a structured course, it allows you to ask specific questions about vocabulary, sentence structure, pronunciation, and cultural nuances. Users can get quick corrections on their writing or upload audio to ask for pronunciation feedback. It is an invaluable utility for clarifying doubts and getting authentic input, but it is a supplement for learning, not a standalone course.

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.
