TL;DR
A comprehensive and opinionated platform for learning Japanese that integrates input and reviews. The strict path may not suit all learning styles.
Mondly offers daily lessons and conversation practice with an AI chatbot, and stands out with its use of AR and VR technology. Its grammar instruction is limited.

Description

Description

NativShark offers a systematic, all-in-one curriculum primarily for Japanese. The methodology is built around comprehensible input, immersion, and a built-in spaced repetition system (SRS) to ensure retention. It guides the user through a long-term, linear path designed to build a deep understanding from the ground up. Its main limitations are its focus on a single language and a rigid structure that offers little flexibility, and it prioritizes input skills heavily over early speaking practice.

Mondly focuses on teaching practical vocabulary through daily lessons and interactive exercises. Its primary selling points are its innovative technology features, including a conversation chatbot and an augmented reality (AR) mode that brings virtual objects into your learning space. While these features offer a novel way to practice, the core pedagogy lacks depth. Grammar isn't explicitly taught, and the content can feel repetitive and may not be sufficient for progressing to higher proficiency levels.
