Pros

  • For reading - Glossika, LingQ
  • I know Glossika has a Hakka course.
  • I’ve started using Glossika to work on my pronunciation. It’s so much better than what I hear on Duolingo.
  • I like glossika for mindless passive learning that has a real effect on how you speak. It's not a comprehensive solution but it'll get you talking and listening. And as a bonus for whatever reason a lot of their content is medical themed
  • Overall solid app that I can see myself paying for.

Cons

  • The consensus online is Pimsleur / Glossika / Shadowing but in my case, those seem to be reinforcing bad tones (since I can't hear myself making mistakes as I repeat).
  • Glossika does as well but it's more expensive than LingQ and more boring to me.
  • 10 mins of speaking (Glossika, but I don’t recommend it) ... Glossika isn’t good for much.
  • You could try something like Glossika, but it's very difficult to learn a language with only one method.
  • Other apps reviewed are Duolingo, Language Transfer, Pimsleur, Anki (a flashcard app), Glossika, and Bee Lingua.

Use tools like Pinyin Trainer (app) or Glossika’s tone drills.
