    Rype<\/a><\/b><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Rype has re-defined the traditional language learning model, by applying a Netflix\/Spotify model for private French<\/a>, Spanish<\/a>, German, English lessons<\/a> and more. For less than the price of a coffee per day,\u00a0you can have daily one-on-one language lessons with a professional tutor.<\/p>\n

    Pros<\/strong>: Dailyone-on-one lessons with a professional language tutor — anywhere, anytime.
    \nCons:<\/strong>\u00a0Can be expensive
    \nMain benefit:<\/strong>\u00a0The benefit of receiving daily one-on-one lessons with a professional tutor. It’s like signing up for a gym membership and having full-time access to a professional, personal trainer for the same price.<\/p>\n

    2. Duolingo<\/a><\/b><\/h2>\n

    Pros<\/strong>: Free
    \nCons:<\/strong> Not great if you’re serious about getting results. Recommended for hobbyists.
    \nMain benefit:<\/strong> The main     benefit of using Duolingo<\/a> is that it’s great if you’re just getting started and want to play around with the basics of the language.<\/p>\n

      Conversation Exchange<\/a><\/b><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      If you have the time and lack the budget to work with a professional teacher, conversation exchanges<\/a> are worth checking out. They allow you to connect with fellow language lovers, looking to practice their skills online.<\/p>\n

      Pros<\/strong>:\u00a0Free to connect
      \nCons:<\/strong>\u00a0Takes a lot of time, patience, and dealing with scheduling problems.

        Memrise<\/a><\/b><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        When you’re learning a language, memorization is key. Memrise makes the process easier.
        \nUsing a gamified approach, Memrise has a set of steps you go through in order to memorize your desired words or concepts.<\/p>\n

        Pros<\/strong>: Great for memorization, and can be used as a complementary when you’re working with a professional teacher.
        \nCons:<\/strong>\u00a0Only good as a complementary tool, not as a complete language learning solution.
        \nMain benefit:<\/strong>\u00a0The\u00a0biggest benefit is that it’s a free way to help you memorize more concepts faster, not just languages.<\/p>\n

          Rosetta Stone<\/a><\/b><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Rosetta Stone<\/a> has been around for decades and has faced controversial reviews about its promise and effectiveness by several language experts and journalists. Nevertheless, it’s a popular method that is still being used by many language learners.<\/p>\n

          Pros<\/strong>: Easy to use, can learn at the comforts of your home.
          \nCons:\u00a0<\/strong>Expensive. Effectiveness of its solution has been reviewed negatively amongst many           language experts and bloggers<\/a>.

            BBC Languages came up with a new section of their website to provide language learning content focused on 8-10 main languages, and more. It contains video tutorials and written content to guide you through the basics of your target language.<\/p>\n

            Pros<\/strong>:\u00a0Free
            \nCons:\u00a0<\/strong>Great as a starter, but it can only take you so far without practicing what you’ve learned\u00a0with a native speaker.
            \nMain benefit:<\/strong>\u00a0The\u00a0main benefit is that it’s free and a great place to start for someone looking to             learn a new language.<\/a><\/p>\n

              Busuu sits in a similar category as Duolingo and the other free mobile apps out there. It provides a simple, yet interactive method of learning, and can be a useful way to learn basic words and vocabulary for language hobbyists.<\/p>\n

              Pros<\/strong>: Free, interactive
              \nCons: <\/strong>Not great if you’re serious about getting results. Recommended for hobbyists.

                Babbel provides a slightly more personalized approach, compared to Duolingo<\/a> and Busuu<\/a>, as they have different levels for beginners and intermediates, while understanding what demographic you fit in. At the end of the day, it is a do-it-yourself approach, and unless you’re 100{54c12dad2cc2b53ae830e39915b1a3e70288dbcbbeb8bbf8395437c5dc3c512c} motivated to using the service on a daily basis, it may be difficult to keep yourself accountable.<\/p>\n

                  Fluentin3months is not necessarily a language solution, but rather a destination created by Benny Lewis. It contains forums, articles, reviews, courses, and a book that you can learn from. What this really comes down to is counting on the expertise of the author, Benny, who is a polyglot fluent in seven languages.<\/p>\n

                  Pros<\/strong>:\u00a0Benny has a great track record of providing unbiased, research-backed information.
                  \nCons:\u00a0<\/strong>You can’t necessarily work with Benny, but rather have to learn from his strategy on your own.
                  \nMain benefit:<\/strong>\u00a0Learn from an expert who has achieved significant results in acquiring languages fluently.<\/p>\n

                    Livemocha, which was acquired by Rosetta Stone<\/a>, provides online language courses and has an avid language learning community. The company claims to have a methodology for learning a language, but it’s hard to know of course if it really works.<\/p>\n

                    Pros<\/strong>:\u00a0Free and an avid community of language learners
                    \nCons: <\/strong>No ability to speak with a native speaker and seems to focus on upselling to Rosetta Stone.

                          LingQ is focused on the text-based approach for learning a language. In summary, it’s a digital flashcard for learning languages. While this can provide some value, it may not be a good fit for visual learners (use Memrise instead).<\/p>\n

                          Pros<\/strong>: Many languages available. Good if you’re a text-based learner

                              MosaLingua focuses on helping you memorize words and vocabulary. Here’s the approach explained by a language blogger:<\/p>\n

                                \n
                              1. You listen to the word or sentence and record yourself pronouncing it. You then compare your pronunciation to the native pronunciation.<\/li>\n
                              2. Once you know how to pronounce the word, the app shows you a word or sentence and asks you to guess its translation. If you guessed right, you click \u201ccorrect\u201d, if not you click \u201cincorrect\u201d.<\/li>\n
                              3. The app then shows you an English word or sentence and asks you to write the translation.<\/li>\n
                              4. Finally, you see the English translation and\u00a0evaluate\u00a0how well you know the associated word or sentence.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                                Pros<\/strong>:\u00a0Good for learning words in sentences
                                \nCons:\u00a0<\/strong>Limited in scope, and doesn’t help in improving your speaking skills or other facets required to learn a language.
                                \nMain benefit:<\/strong>\u00a0Memorizing words in your target language.<\/p>\n

                                  Pimsleur is an audio-based language program that is taught by native speakers, which means you can hear native accents and pronounciations. It’s a story-based learning system (although it sounds fake), can be a good way to understand how native speakers talk.<\/p>\n

                                  Pros<\/strong>: Good for repetition, taught by native speakers.
                                  \nCons:\u00a0<\/strong>Irrelevant context. It seems far too professional, and many of the materials taught cannot be used in everyday conversations, making it seem too formal.
                                  \nMain benefit:<\/strong>\u00a0The\u00a0main benefit is\u00a0the emphasis on audio and pronounciation.<\/p>\n

                                  There’s no best solution that will fit everything you’re looking for. What you’ll need to do from here is to evaluate your goals, and understand what your desires are.<\/p>\n

                                  Do you lack the basics of memorizing the most common words? Try Memrise<\/a> or LingQ<\/a>.
                                  \nAre you just looking to play around with the language for fun? Try                                   Duolingo<\/a> or Busuu<\/a>.
                                  \nDo you want to be able to become a fluent speaker and work with a private coach? Try                                   Rype<\/a>.<\/p>\n

                                  Whichever methods you try, just make sure it aligns with your goals, and that alone will help you find the right solution for you.<\/p>\n
