The apps on your phone know way too much about you. I'll tell you which apps collect the most data and offer suggestions for locking down your private information.
I’m interested, but also confused. They’re flash cards, and I guess other users have made sets of cards already so I don’t have to make my own. Is it just word=word translation, or do people use pictures and sound? How does it teach things like grammar, etymology, and mnemonic tips? Can I write on it? Can it listen to my pronunciation?
You’re right, they’re just flash cards. This helps a huge amount in it being flexible in general, and yes; they can put images to help :)
You’re supposed to create your own decks, but i usually just use shared decks from other users.
How does it teach things like grammar, etymology, and mnemonic tips
In a [good] card-deck, it probably has an explanation before you start, but many of them are vocabulary based.
Can I write on it?
Yes
Can it listen to my pronunciation?
No, you’ll have to manually compare your own voice to the voice of the card.
Overall its stellar for vocabulary but so-so in grammar. For the latter i don’t really recommend apps, i’ve had a better experience reading about them and using the vocabulary i learned as practice. I used to use a hebrew deck but i’d only learn words, conjugation i’d use Wiktionary or articles about hebrew conjugation. So i’d understand “Yalad” means boy, then i’d add “-im” so i could understand Yaladim means “boys” without using an app to learn it.
Overall it’s personal taste and may not fit you. But it’s the best free app for many languages, but there are apps exclusive to 1 only that are probably better.
