[Review] Clozemaster app
Now that I have a 100 day streak on Clozemaster I thought I should do a review.
Clozemaster is a gamified vocabulary building app based off material from Tatoeba (a free database of example sentences). The developer said it aims to answer the question “What should I do after Duolingo?”. It seems best suited for intermediate learners so I have only been using it for Korean and not Japanese.
Positives
More enjoyable than flashcard apps.
The free version doesn’t have ads and you can use it perfectly well.
Wide variety of sentences and vocab - even swear words.
Decent amount of content for Korean.
Korean audio is decent (though a tad emotionless).
Negatives
Most of the negatives come from the fact that everything is getting pulled from Tatoeba without any human review.
People’s names like 톰 come up as a key word or occasionally only part of a foreign word is used as a key word.
Occasionally get these ridiculously long sentences (like the screenshot above).
Overall I think its worth a go - especially if you want to work on your vocabulary but find flashcard apps boring / dislike learning words without any context.
