Description

Description

WuKong Education provides a structured, classroom-like experience for children learning Chinese (Mandarin). It is not a self-study app but a platform for live, online lessons with certified teachers in small-group settings. The curriculum is comprehensive and designed to develop all language skills, particularly speaking and listening. It is an excellent option for parents seeking a formal and interactive educational environment for their children, but it is limited to Chinese and requires commitment to a fixed class schedule.

Readlang helps you learn a language by reading authentic content from across the web. As a browser extension and web app, it allows you to click on any word or phrase you don’t know on a webpage to get an instant translation. These translated words are automatically saved as flashcards for later review via spaced repetition. It is an exceptional tool for intermediate-to-advanced learners looking to transition to native materials and expand their vocabulary contextually, but it is primarily a reading and vocabulary tool with no speaking component.

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.
