“I waste my time in the morning and evening
Caught in a feeling
I lose my mind looking up at the ceiling
It’s just a feeling, it’s just a feeling…”
Part III - Crumb

“It’s not meant to be a strife
It’s not meant to be a struggle uphill
If you’re bleeding, undo
If you’re sweating, undo
If you’re crying, undo”
Undo - Björk

“Past love, come back to yourself
Don’t keep reaching out to him
He can’t help you now
It’s a past life, so come back to the time
It’s been far too many nights, and you still cry”
Past Love - Kimbra

I kind of gave up on Japanese years ago, but I’ve been trying to learn Korean for a couple months now. I started with Duolingo (great for basics like the alphabet, and in general for reminding you to practice everyday), then added YuSpeak (similar to Duolingo but way better paced/structured and with some useful systems to keep track of your weak points and review words and concepts effectively. Their Japanese course has even more features).

Although the apps are a great way to start, like other commenters said, they really promote memorizing over understanding/using the language, especially Duolingo. So the greatest addition for me so far was actually ChatGPT (GPT 4). Now I can learn a new concept on YuSpeak or Duo and then immediately go ask ChatGPT to go over it together and make up some exercises for me to do. It really works surprisingly well, and in just the few days since I’ve started using it, it feels like my ability to write and read the language has improved exponentially compared to when I was only using the apps. I also fare much better in the apps themselves.

Of course ChatGPT is not 100% accurate, as we all know, but it opens up so many learning avenues that it doesn’t really matter, especially if you’re a beginner to intermediate student. Obviously it also can’t completely replace an actual teacher (on the other hand, it’s available 24/7, unlike an actual teacher, and it’s much cheaper too) and it won’t help with listening or speaking, but using it in conjunction with apps and a YouTube video here and there really creates a pretty effective and proactive learning environment.

TL;DR: Check out YuSpeak and consider using ChatGPT 4.
