Hi all, anyone finding good sales or subscription discounts on learning resources?
Satori has a 3-month and 1-year discounts for new users (which they didn’t post on their social media for some reason?) In another thread someone said that Bunpro is 20% off. That’s all I got so far.
Migaku is doing 70% off sale in lifetime(500$ to150$) and 20% off in annual.
It is basically an immersion tool like language reactor with much more flexibility.(Youtube video, Netflix, Rakuten, Manga, Websites etc)
It was like 499 lifetime before, and past sales were like 199 and 249. I was shocked to see that this sale was 149, considering how much inflation has been rampant in everything else!
I bought lifetime some years ago, at maybe US$200 (don’t remember). I don’t even use 90% of Migaku’s features, and I feel I’ve absolutely gotten my money’s worth over the years I’ve been using it.
This Black Friday price is not one to skip out on for anyone who’s considered Migaku or is on a subscription plan and can afford the lifetime plan.
For the subscription tier, I believe what you’re seeing listed is the normal price (US$10/month, or US$15/month for early access). The deal here is that if you pay for three or six months, you get double that amount. This effectively drops the price to US$5/month during that time.
Satori reader is also doing a sale apparently though im not really sure of the discount and also this sale is at a bad time for me since I should be doing textbooks
I’m also looking for the wani kani sale.
Between all these sales my wallet is getting severe damage. And this is all before I even look at the steam sales!!
That’s the lowest I’ve seen Migaku for a while I think. What have you found most valuable from it?
Poor Anki integration (not useable on mobile) and an inability to export words (didn’t like the idea of getting stuck in their ecosystem) was putting me off when I last looked. I don’t think either of those have been fixed yet but looks like they’ve been racing ahead on all sorts of other stuff.
I use it entirely for manga (run through Mokuro). Known word tracking means I can have furigana on words I don’t know, and not on words I do know. (If I don’t recognize a word and there’s no furigana on it, that prompts me to try and recall the word rather than going straight to looking it up.)
I don’t do SRS these days, but personally if I had to switch from Migaku back to Anki, I wouldn’t mind losing all my cards and progress and starting over from scratch. But I’m also the type who was fine with deleting leeches, and it’s trivial to create a new card for the word later.
I believe there may be a third-party export tool out there, but there’s nothing built in, and that’s an understandable show-stopper.
