any recommendations for language apps on the iPhone?

  I've been meaning to write a blog post about this, but here's a quick list (I've finally started to learn Japanese): Human Japanese - basically an interactive textbook, with audio clips and interactive quizzes. Probably the best of the bunch. Pocket Japanese - based on several series of podcasts, for different skill levels. Each lesson has a ~10min podcast, sentence by sentence breakdown, ~1-4min review track, vocabulary flashcards, and written grammar lesson. Interface can be a bit annoying, but the content and features are good. iKana - for learning Hiragana and Katakana AccelaStudy Japanese - for pure vocabulary cramming, very polished. To the Lingt team - if an iPhone app isn't already on your roadmap, it definitely should be. It's a ridiculously convenient way to learn a language.

    Thanks for this list. I took japanese in high school for several years and wanted a way to refresh and expand on it. I wonder if there are as many resources for korean.

  I found Lingt very similar (in concept) to Anki, which has an iPhone client. I do not have an iPhone, so I can't tell how good it is, but Anki (desktop) is fantastic. I am currently learning Mandarin, and Anki is my primary resource for vocabulary memorization.
