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.

Speakly’s methodology is built on teaching the 4,000 most statistically useful words of a target language. The app uses spaced repetition flashcards, listening exercises, and simulated conversations to embed these high-frequency words and phrases. By prioritizing practical vocabulary, Speakly helps beginners and intermediate learners build conversational confidence quickly. While light on deep grammar, its practical approach is highly efficient for those whose primary goal is to start speaking.

MosaLingua is built around a highly effective Spaced Repetition System (SRS) designed to help you learn and retain a large amount of vocabulary efficiently. The app prioritizes the most useful words and phrases to accelerate practical knowledge. While its core is flashcards, the platform also includes dialogues, articles, and other resources to add context. It is a powerful tool for learners dedicated to building a strong vocabulary foundation, though they will need to look elsewhere for structured grammar lessons or extensive conversation practice.
