Glad you found a game to play while you're sick! I've played LingoLegends in Mandarin and French. It's not my type of game but I had some fun. Hope you feel better!

A cheesy language learning app is the best thing you can do to yourself when you're sick! Hope you get better soon.

It really felt like a treat, and I keep using it now that I feel better! It's my new breakfast ritual.

I downloaded the game and played for a couple of minutes. Will be recommending it to my students!! Thank you and I hope you’re back in tip top shape ☺️

I find Pleco really good for investigations into Chinese characters (including radicals), if that helps.

Pleco has been a favourite so far! I even use it to look up Korean hanja in more detail. I'm using the free version, and thinking about trying their paid flashcard system.

Yes, I've had Pleco for years and paid for some of their add-ons. Once you get them, you have them for life. It has definitely been worth it for me.

For Japanese, I've used Wanikani and I highly recommend it. When I was looking for something similar for Chinese, someone on the Wanikani forums suggested Pandanese. If it's actually like Wanikani it will have mnemonics for every radical and character. Let us know what you think if you use it!

Thank you, I'll look into it! I don't think my dream app exists yet, so I might have to find or generate my own Anki deck.
