You get:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fill-in-the-blanks<\/li>\n<li>Choose the correct answer<\/li>\n<li>Choose the right image<\/li>\n<li>Translation<\/li>\n<li>Listening comprehension<\/li>\n<li>Putting words in order<\/li>\n<li>Typing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Depending on the language you&#8217;re learning, you&#8217;ll also get other types of exercises, like choosing the right character, tapping wrong words or adding words to their correct place in the sentence.<\/p>\n<p>Two features I especially loved in the lessons were the <strong>audio speed selection<\/strong> (very useful when you get whole sentences) and the <strong>mic\/ear buttons<\/strong> (perfect to record yourself and then listen to your recording).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/lingodeer-review-4.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-26493\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/lingodeer-review-4.jpeg\" alt=\"lingodeer review\" width=\"320\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/lingodeer-review-4.jpeg 512w, https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/lingodeer-review-4-150x300.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And, like many competing apps, each lesson takes around <strong>five minutes to complete,<\/strong> so if you&#8217;re in a hurry or want to practice micro-learning, this is your app.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;Practice makes perfect&#8221; section includes further reading, listening and speaking practice (especially in the form of dialogues, stories and full sentences you&#8217;ll have to listen to and record by yourself), as well as a subsection with tips.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Learning Tips <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>This is where you can read everything about the topic of the lesson, the explicit grammar rules and lessons that you need to know to perfect a new language.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/lingodeer-review-5.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-26494\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/lingodeer-review-5.jpeg\" alt=\"lingodeer review\" width=\"320\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/lingodeer-review-5.jpeg 512w, https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/lingodeer-review-5-150x300.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Grammar is presented in a very understandable way so that learners can manage it by themselves.

I&#8217;d call that a win. Here&#8217;s what else I really liked about LingoDeer:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Native audio in all courses<\/li>\n<li><strong>Japanese and Chinese character writing practice<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Well-structured lessons<\/li>\n<li>Excellent grammar explanations<\/li>\n<li>Offline learning option<\/li>\n<li>Fantastic review system<\/li>\n<li>Free travel phrasebook<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The Cons of LingoDeer<\/h2>\n<p>Even though I liked LingoDeer overall, there were some areas for improvement in my opinion. The top cons to LingoDeer, for me, were:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Not all courses include all the features<\/li>\n<li><strong>No video material or authentic content<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>No content for advanced learners<\/li>\n<li>Little speaking practice for non-Asian languages<\/li>\n<li>You have to pass previous &#8220;Test Out&#8221; quizzes to access later lessons<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>LingoDeer Versus Other Language Learning Programs<\/h2>\n<p>Since LingoDeer is conceived as a holistic language learning program, you&#8217;re supposed to be able to use it and it alone to achieve fluency. So I thought I&#8217;d see how the program matches up to three of my favorite language learning programs.<\/p>\n<h3>LingoDeer vs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FluentU<\/a><\/h3>\n<div style=\"float: right;\" id=\"fluen-1457458437\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"FluentU New iOS App Icon\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/iTunesArtwork@1x.png\" alt=\"FluentU New iOS App Icon\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/iTunesArtwork@1x.png 512w, https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/iTunesArtwork@1x-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/iTunesArtwork@1x-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/iTunesArtwork@1x-65x65.png 65w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Since one of the features I most missed while using LingoDeer was video and authentic materials, I wanted to start this comparison section with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FluentU<\/a>, which has video at the heart of its program.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I know many people who&#8217;ve told me that they learned English through watching movies and TV. In fact, I&#8217;ve heard it so many times, I definitely believe it. So I like to use this method, too.<\/p>\n<p>FluentU works really well for me because I&#8217;m a person who really likes to watch TV, movies, music videos, news and vlogs on YouTube. So it feels like a really sustainable and fun way to learn and review a language and it&#8217;s worked really well for me.<\/p>\n<p>I find myself spending hours on FluentU, all while feeling engaged, while a 10 minute session on LingoDeer and other programs sometimes feels like a slog.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I think <strong>FluentU and LingoDeer would complement each other nicely<\/strong>, and the cost would still be pretty affordable.<\/p>\n<h3>LingoDeer vs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.duolingo.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Duolingo<\/a><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-41662 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/download-1-1-150x150.png\" alt=\"Duolingo logo\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/download-1-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/download-1-1-65x65.png 65w, https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/download-1-1.png 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/h3>\n<p>Comparing LingoDeer to Duolingo, Duolingo also has some more unusual languages, with choices such as Finnish, Hawaiian, Navajo, Ukrainian and Hebrew on offer.<\/p>\n<p>I think that Duolingo is more a little fun and more gamified, and that cute little bird is always encouraging you (some would say pestering you), but especially for people studying Asian languages, LingoDeer might feel like a better fit because you get to practice writing Japanese and Chinese characters.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/does-duolingo-work-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">full review of Duolingo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>LingoDeer vs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ling-app.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ling<\/a><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-41676 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/download-4-150x150.png\" alt=\"Ling logo\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/download-4-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/download-4-65x65.png 65w, https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/download-4.png 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ling-app.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ling<\/a>, which is based in Thailand, has the same stated goal as LingoDeer: to teach the words, phrases and sentences that you really need in a language. Ling also uses spaced repetition just like LingoDeer, and both of the programs are based in Asia.<\/p>\n<p>Ling has a lot of less common languages like Nepali, Mongolian, Lao, Bosnian, Latvian and more. Overall, there are 60 languages currently on the program.<\/p>\n<p>But I found myself confused by some of Ling&#8217;s example sentences and word choices. I thought to myself: would I ever say this? No. They&#8217;re often too formal, or just not useful.<\/p>\n<p>Also, Ling doesn&#8217;t teach the writing system of the languages that use them. If you can&#8217;t read Thai, for example, you&#8217;re going to be very lost as a beginner, and there&#8217;s no Japanese and Chinese character writing practice like on LingoDeer.<\/p>\n<h2>The Final Verdict<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Will LingoDeer help you learn a language?<\/strong> Yes, it will!<\/p>\n<p>The organization of the courses allows students to learn up to the B2 level. The lessons have been created by people who know what they&#8217;re doing, and all the supplementary practice works nicely with the main content to create an effective whole.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is LingoDeer worth its price?<\/strong> It definitely is, but&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Having two main apps (three if you also want the children&#8217;s English learning app) and making learners buy two independent premium plans is a bit excessive.<\/p>\n<p>If a premium subscription gave students unlimited access to both adult-oriented learning apps, LingoDeer would be practically unbeatable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Does LingoDeer have everything a learner needs to reach fluency in a language?<\/strong> Unfortunately, it doesn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>There are some things missing in the app.<\/p>\n<p>The lack of authentic content and video material is its biggest flaw. Besides, advanced students can skip this app altogether, since there&#8217;s absolutely no material for them.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, other language learning platforms such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-schema-attribute=\"\">FluentU<\/a> contain a vast treasure of resources covering these two key aspects. <p>\r\n<strong><a data-bid=\"1\" data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/try\/april-sale-3331\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">FluentU takes real-world videos\u2014like music videos, movie trailers, news and inspiring talks\u2014and turns them into personalized language learning lessons<\/a>.<\/strong>\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\nWith FluentU, you hear languages in <strong>real-world contexts<\/strong>\u2014the way that native speakers actually use them.
