About language learning apps

Beginners after a gentle start, travelers who need useful phrases and intermediate learners keeping their skills up can all practice in spare minutes, with progress tracked along the way. Some apps drill words and sentences, some focus on conversation with feedback, and others connect you with human tutors, which gives a way to speak or sign without a classroom. The main differences are how much speaking or signing practice you get, whether lessons follow a fixed path or adapt to you, and how well they work offline.

What to look for

  • Check how the app handles speaking or signing practice, because production is what turns recognition into usable skill.
  • Look at whether lessons adapt to your level or follow a fixed sequence, since a poor fit can waste time on material you already know.
  • See what feedback you get on pronunciation or handshape, as vague corrections make it hard to improve.
  • Consider how the app charges for its content, such as unlocking full courses or tutor sessions, so you know what is free and what is not.
  • Check whether lessons download for offline use, which matters if you practice during commutes or travel.

How we rank

Apps are ranked by their Google Play rating (weighted by how many people rated them), their number of installs, how recently they were updated and how closely they fit the category. Only apps we've reviewed are included.
