And that's why it's so good.

No, it doesn't.

But then it kind of comes down to how strict you are with yourself.

Because I would say if I see a word and it asks me the definition and I can tell you the definition, but I couldn't use it in a sentence, I would probably still mark it as a hard word or maybe even forgot.

Yeah, they work.

And the reason why it's such a good one for Chinese is because of that writing function that most spaced repetition apps obviously don't come with.

So that's why it's so good for Chinese.

And it is, I mean, you're right that it's not testing your ability to use them in sentences, but then that's not really the purpose of the app.

It's really a vocabulary memorization app.

So for that purpose, I would give it 10 out of 10, definitely.

Yeah, I used that one when I first studied Chinese.

Yeah.

you did okay it worked all right do you think it's decent yeah yeah yeah it's good um and there's i mean you can also use things like quizlet as well quizlet is a flashcard app and that the idea of quizlet is that you input your own information so you could also have um you know if you're studying i don't know biology and you need to learn something about the human body you could put in all of these like body parts and you could test yourself on those for example um yeah

Great idea.

I am using Duolingo.

I used Duolingo to learn a bit of German before I went to Germany a few years ago.

Then when I first got here, I did use it for Chinese for a while, but I think the Chinese isn't great and also it uses simplified characters and Taiwan uses complex characters or traditional characters.

So Duolingo

I wasn't reading the same characters on Duolingo, which is less useful.

And I think it's really, really good for more beginner level, certainly in Chinese.
