I know Anki is the most popular by far, but what else does everyone else use? I’m currently listening to a Mass Effect Legendary playthrough in German. I use https://yourdailygerman.com/ to learn grammar. And I made a custom app to help me learn vocabulary in a way I find a bit easier than Anki.

What does everyone else use?

    For Japanese:

    • Genki I & II grammar textbooks (w/ corresponding TokiniAndy YouTube lectures)
    • Anki to drill the vocab
    • JPDB (less great at spaced repetition than Anki, but easier making cards plus it bridges Kanji)
    • Remembering the Kanji book for learning Kanji, w/ Kanji Kohii companion app
    • Tadoku graded readers and NHK Easy News for reading
    • Comprehensible input Youtube channels and podcasts

    I’ve also used HelloTalk before to talk with native speakers (but only for Spanish so far). In the future tho I think italki (paid private tutoring) might be worth pursuing instead of language exchange.
