Spanish learning has been given a substantial leap forward by iPhone apps. Making hardly any progress with tedious books and overpriced software courses has been overtaken by the quick progress you can make with the new technology. Apps allow to learn whenever and wherever you want. This means easy progress.
It means, too, the ability of learning the Spanish language while you do other tasks, from traveling to work to relaxing in the tub.
Spanish learning apps are fun, or at least they should be. A good app will motivate you to continue learning and dramatically improve your listening and speaking skills.
What, then, makes a Spanish learning app good? Which features should it contain?
Good Spanish apps are put together by professional language teachers. They include a substantial number of audio files, all of which must be recorded by native speakers. Whether you purchase an app with a Spanish conversation course, a grammar guide, kids' lessons, games, quizzes or exam help, it must contain audio files. Without them, your listening and speaking skills will not benefit, only your reading skills will.
These are not the only features you should be looking for. Your Spanish learning app should also give you the Spanish transcript of the audio files and their English translation. This is essential to help you save time using a dictionary. Furthermore, it should provide ample content, a user-friendly navigation and an engaging design.
There is a wealth of Spanish learning apps on the market. Choosing the right one for you is not simple, but access to free samples can be of great help. Sadly, there are many apps that do not show you any samples, but some do, and they are often the best.
Good Spanish apps will also offer you the chance to contact the course creator, request new features, ask technical queries, and they will undoubtedly bring out regular software upgrades.
I have created for you my Spanish Podcasts for Beginners App with these and many other components: new mp3s or videos on a weekly basis; Spanish transcripts of all the content including dialogs, vocabulary glossaries, grammar lessons, and exercises with their solutions; on and offline playing, and more.
