おはようございます! long time no see, japanese learners’ thread :)
reviving this because
we’ve done worse necroposting around here, and after a long while of only inconsistently reviewing old lingodeer lessons, i just started using
renshuu and i’m liking it so far. it’s got a mix of different types of learning - multiple choice quizzing, kanji & kana writing practice, games, social features, a “question corner” feature where you’re prompted to answer a question in japanese… lots of good stuff. from what i’ve seen all the core features are free too, there’s paid options but it’s mostly cosmetic bonuses and extra goodies. honestly, if i stick with it i might consider supporting the site
(
EDIT: okay i looked again and renshuu pro
does come with more learning features. but there’s so much you can access with a free account i didn’t even realize there were paywalled features lol)
i was also pretty quickly reassured by the site owner’s stance on AI. hint:
they’re not using it, not for translation, not for lesson content, not for art. i’ve talked quite a bit about my gripes with duolingo because of their adoption of AI translation, so it’s comforting to hop on a new service and
immediately get confirmation that They Don’t Do That Here.
i found it through a list of japanese learning resources i wrote down from my twitter bookmarks, y’know, so i wouldn’t lose ‘em when i deleted my twitter. i’ll have to check out the other resources i wrote down and give my thoughts on those here, too. but if any of you decide to try out renshuu, let’s be friends :D i’m sevenleaf there too, i thought about changing my display name to クローバー or セベンリーフ but i haven’t decided yet
