Fortunately, today's technological age is quite accommodating and offers a variety of options to forget about hundreds of years of textbooks, various mnemonic devices and instead focus on the main thing - vocabulary, grammar and constant progress. That is why we have prepared for you language applications, which will easily guide you through the corners of a new language and help you learn at least its basics.

Memrise

We acknowledge that the Memrise application is mentioned quite often on various websites and is among the most sought-after helpers. And it's no wonder, the application offers an incredibly simple user interface, a clear overview of your progress and, above all, images, pronunciation and especially gamification. Back then, literally "school through play", when developers rely on keeping you at the screen not just by reciting dry facts, but above all by live interaction. And don't worry, thanks to the wide community of users, you don't have to rely only on official manuals and courses, but you can also learn, for example, Japanese swear words or one of the artificially created fantasy languages. Now, the best part - the Memrise application is completely free, it doesn't force you to make any purchases and if you study obediently, it may even gift you with a meme from time to time.
LinguaLift

If memorizing words and constantly repeating them doesn't bother you and you'd rather learn the basics of a language directly from its source, we have good news for you. The LinguaLift application is not talked about much and we bet you've only come across it a few times, but it's still a great way to progress in your self-study. Although the software doesn't look much different from its namesake, it hides a number of other options under the hood, such as studying with a tutor. You can connect virtually with your mentor and learn not only about the local culture, but also the realities of the country and the context of the phrases you're learning. So if this method appeals to you, head to the official website and try the application for free.
Duolingo

Who doesn't know the legendary and probably the most widespread application for learning and studying languages - Duolingo. At first glance, the playful and interactive application hides a whole range of possibilities and, in addition to gamification, as we have already mentioned with Memrise, you can also look forward to rankings, community competitions and motivation in the form of points. At the end of each lesson, you will also be given a short test that will clearly indicate whether you are ready to continue or whether you should stay a while longer and repeat the material. Of course, there are also a number of friendly features that you will simply love and maybe one day find yourself using them. Duolingo is your new productive addiction. So head over to App Store and get this nice app for free.
HelloTalk

If you're tired of classic apps that rely on forced phrases, perfect grammar, and other not-so-fun aspects, this app might be for you. Unlike its counterparts, it focuses exclusively on conversations with native speakers, and in essence, it's a WhatsApp, with the only difference being that they will only connect you with a person who speaks the language you are learning. And these are not professional tutors or standard chat. Users help each other, learn from each other, and try to communicate with each other. So if you prefer real human interaction over just software generating vocabulary and tests, head over to HelloTalk and download the app for free.
Busuu
Not everyone is comfortable with the free learning method, and some users simply prefer full-fledged courses that will properly prepare them and clearly know what they are up to. This is also the case with Busuu, a fairly well-known application that builds on integrated materials and offers courses in up to 12 languages. Of course, there are vocabulary words, dialogues, grammar, advanced sentence structures and other modules that the application takes you through. You don't even have to worry about a little social interaction, as native speakers are actively involved in the learning process, correcting you and giving you all kinds of tips. Either way, if you prefer the aforementioned learning style and need a "firm hand" over you, we recommend heading to App Store and download the Busuu app.
I tried Memrise, but it's impossible to learn English when I'm Czech. The fact that there is no Czech doesn't bother me, but you can't choose English either. It's probably for English people learning Eastern languages. I don't know…
Poor thing, it really bothers me that there is no Slovenian in any of them, how will I learn English? Probably not through applications /:
Hi, you can try Vocabulary Player – MyPlaylist. Great if you want to learn your own vocabulary/translations of sentences (songs), which you can simply prepare in Google Sheets, perhaps from Google Translate history or from translations of entire songs, interviews, articles. You can then play the vocabulary just like in a music player. You can use a lot of options for repetition, filtering, reading speed and appearance adjustment. LikeoneYou can test what you have learned ;-)
the Memrise application is completely useless, if a person knows Czech and wants to learn, for example, English, it is not supported. However, you have to tick Russian, for example, so that English appears. In addition, despite registering and logging in, it still won't let you go anywhere, no confirmation email will come, reading and agreeing to the terms, nothing. Nothing happens, you're still stuck on the login page. After 5 minutes of trying in vain to do anything, the application flew exactly where it belongs: to hell. :-)
Fortunately, it is here. Duolingo, it doesn't suffer from such stupidity, it's even usable, this is completely useless :)
Are any of the applications in Czech, please? Thanks for the reply.
Duolingo is in Czech, definitely try it, it's really great stuff.
