Pros
- apps like Duolingo and Drops try to make language learning accessible to anyone
- I’ve been using Drops (vocab) and LingoDeer (grammar). They’re the best I’ve come across.
- The apps I’m using are LingoDeer and Drops, which are the best apps I’ve come across, but I would still like something a little more structured.
- I have mostly used Drops to learn vocabulary. ... The test said I seemed to have about 3,000 words memorized and I checked Drops- 2,910.
- Drops and memrise have European Portuguese in a kind of duolingo format, both are good!
Cons
- An apps like Drops it’s mainly vocab, but it’s kinda like gamified flash cards without exercises or lessons to like reinforce the vocab—and they’re largely out of context
- Since then, I started learning Chinese and while using other apps I tried to use Drops again for some extra vocab. Its here where I realized this app was really bad at Asian languages. I understand its an app for words rather than gramma...
- I used it a bit for Japanese a couple of years ago. After the very first lessons, it was pretty bad. Main problem was splitting words up at weird places.
- App with PT-PT that I know and use are: languagedrops.com Practice Portuguese explains also grammar, the other are just for learning words. And they are paid, free versions have big limitations.
- maybe Drops?

Since then, I started learning Chinese and while using other apps I tried to use Drops again for some extra vocab. Its here where I realized this app was really bad at Asian languages. I understand its an app for words rather than grammar and sentences, but even the words they use often arent very common or obsolete.

The app "Drops" has European Portuguese and a lot of basic Vocab and phrases that are good to start learning. It also has situational units (ordering at a restaurant, going to the eye doctor, going through immigration forms) that can be really useful for the day to day basics.
Drops is also free (for 5 minutes a day) and covers a lot of languages
