I paid for it for a while to up my Finnish vocabulary, and it was fairly useful for that. So if you dislike making your own vocabulary flash cards, I recommend it.

This is really helpful, thank you!
I know someone who is trying to learn Finnish and tried to supplement their learning with Duolingo, which is not very refined course. So might have to suggest languagedrops.
If they do go that route, I recommend they set their language level to at least intermediate, because otherwise they will be locked into the beginner sets until they get enough points, and they are like early A1 vocab lists
Thanks for the tip - that is really useful. I have to ask whether they already started!
Ehh, I used Drops, on the free tier it only gives you 5 minutes/a day to use it, I think it can be okay as a supplemental tool, but not as a main learning app
They do offer some small languages, like Ainu and Maori, so that's nice
That's interesting. Do they also mention / teach grammar rules in the app? I would love to have those in an app and not always look it up in my books / online.
Not really, it mostly focuses on vocabulary
Ahh okay, that's a bummer. Thanks for the info!
