The browser extension is an amazing tool that covers almost everything a learner can dream of. Even if you are already fluent in a language, it can still help you getting the extra edge! Also, the community and support are awesome and you can really see the developers care about the users.

Been using the Migaku Toolset for a good while now and I'm amazed. This has literally changed my life by changing my daily routine. I love this so much and I'll recommend this to everyone I know who is also interested in language learning 😊

As a language learning approach, Migaku is compassionate and human. It is truly refreshing to have these philosophies be brought to the community.

After a year I can actually hold a decent conversation with my grandparents in Mandarin! I hated not being able to understand what everyone was gossiping about, laughing about, or upset about at the dinner table, but now I actually can connect with my family on a deeper level thanks to Migaku.

I'm using Migaku to learn Chinese and I'm making a TON of progress creating flashcards on the fly from Netflix subtitles using the Migaku browser extension. This feature is a GAME CHANGER and really speeds up my flashcard creation process, the cards even contain the originally dialogue audio and screenshots. This really improves my reading, listening and speaking skills!

I am a serial Chinese language app user Lingodeer, ChineseSkill, Ling, Lingq, The Chairman's bao, Memrise, SuperChinese, Mondly are all apps I have lifetime subscriptions with but this is by far the most fun and powerful. If I were to recommend one app to a person learning Chinese Migaku is the one. It has courses for newbies and is so flexible and powerful you'll be able to use it as an advanced learner.

Discovering Migaku for Mandarin has been the most mind-blowing experience for language learning I've ever had. The integration between comprehensible input with Netflix, Youtube, etc. and flashcards/anki is awesome!

I became frustrated with the endless glut of subpar language resources... Migaku does all of the heavy lifting for you: customized card creation in Anki or its native app... I have now reached an upper B2 level... Migaku has turned it from a laborious process into an exciting life's journey.

Since early years Migaku has been helping me in my studies of Mandarin Chinese (Traditional Characters) to advance in my intermediate level. The tools offered to help me develop my vocabulary and comprehesion of my target language while enjoying the media that I like, it doesnt have a price.
