Hey guys, me and a lot of volunteers (approaching 100!) from here on reddit, including /r/LearnJapanese have been working on a duolingo alternative that was everything duolingo used to be before they became another for-profit public company, and more!
That means no ads, no heart system, back to the tree system that you might remember, forums, sentence discussions, It’s equally completely free for everyone! Actual spoken audio sentences and examples too, not just text to speech
No shareholders, no funding rounds or super memberships, just my own pocket and (much needed!) donations by generous users.
We just opened up and launched our course creator ‘launchpad’ that lets our volunteers help build out courses, and we need all the help we can get!
If you’re bilingual, and are able and want to help contribute to the japanese course or start work on a language we haven’t gotten around to yet, please do and join the volunteers who are already working on them!
If you like what you’ve heard and haven’t already, please take a look at our website, https://lingonaut.app, you’ll find more about us there as well as a link to our discord which is where we’re posting updates the most and coordinating the entire project. It’s the best place to ask questions if you have any and to talk with other lingonauts! If you can, please please please donate to the project at patreon, and volunteer for course building if you’re able!
**Manabi Reader** – iOS and macOS native app for learning Japanese through reading
– EPUB, web browser, RSS feeds, spoken audio
– Tracks every word and kanji you read and learn. Charts your progress page-by-page against JLPT
– Anki or built-in flashcards with SRS (FSRS soon)
– Privacy obsessed: works like a web browser with processing and storage on-device (and in your personal iCloud)
I quit my job to work on this so expect a lot more soon, such as YouTube with clickable transcripts, MPV-based movie player, etc.

Hi everyone, I’m taking the opportunity to remind people about my app for practicing listening to numbers, Numbiro!
It speaks a random number to you, in a range of your choosing, and you have to type the number in. It also supports up to 66 counters!
It’s available on the [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/app/numbiro/id1610373472) and [Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.numbiro.free). I’ve had lots of lovely feedback on this sub so please feel free to get in touch with your thoughts!
Hello, I and my brother created a chrome extension for learning Japanese with anime using Crunchyroll.com. Here is the list of our current features:
* Japanese subtitles
* Hover over and click on parsed words to open a popup with translations
* Word popup offers two tabs, word meanings and kanji information
* Highlight the subtitle text to open a Link popup for a quick search on various websites, or build your own google query
* If the subtitles are out of sync, you can adjust the offset yourself
* We provide customizable settings to tailor the user interface to your needs
For now, we only support a limited number of anime, but we will add more if people like it. What we have now is just a foundation that we would like to build on by adding new features (we have a lot of ideas). Please note that we are very early into development, so we appreciate any feedback (especially related to database availability, since we are using a free tier DB service). Thank you for checking it out!
