What if 🇳🇱 Dutch vocabulary learning would be a crazy fun game instead of boring memorisation drills? Drops makes language learning an effortless fun. Practical vocabulary is bound to your memories through beautiful graphics and quick mini-games.
The crazy part? You have only 5 mins per day. Might sound insane but works like charm! :)
These are the ingredients of the secret sauce:
👀 100% illustrated: Pictures directly carry the meaning - you don’t have to use your native language at all! No intermediary. Faster, more effective and of course more fun!
🏎 5 min sessions: limiting practice time sounds crazy but it it makes it incredibly addictive - which is cool thing for learning. The barrier of entry is close to zero so you can’t have any excuses: you’ll have 5 minutes even on the busiest day!
🕹 Effortless play: We know why games are fun and addictive and distilled the essence into Drops. The result is a truly immersive experience but it’s not waste of your time while you play because you build a valuable knowledge.

Ratings and reviews

It delivers a pleasing audiovisual experience but fails to be a practical vocabulary training tool, for 2 reasons. 1) Far too many repetitions are required to advance to new material. 2) There is no division between vocabulary and supposedly useful phrases/sentences. The latter are worthless if you use any other sources for your language study, but you have to wade through and ignore them one by one. And I wonder how many unique words are really taught in Drops if you subtract these phrases.

I love this app! It helps me learn dutch words easily. One thing I wish it incorporated more is the word itself, and more on how to spell it. Also, I can match the Dutch word with the pictures all day, and it is helpful, but what would really help is having a part where you match the Dutch word not with the picture but with the word in English. I'm not saying get rid of the stuff you have right now, but it would be nice to add more onto it. :)

Amazing way to gradually increase my vocabulary. Beginner friendly, but doesn't sacrifice breadth so it'll be useful for a long time. Plan on getting your grammar elsewhere, but the way this app has expanded my vocabulary has made learning from other sources much quicker. I love that it makes you practice de vs het nouns automatically. Volume is a little inconsistent both between languages and between nouns and verbs in the Dutch version.
