Yesterday I downloaded this app and just started playing and ... LEARNING FRENCH AT THE SAME TIME!
I've never really even tried to learn another language, apart from Tetum when I went to east timor, and I only really learnt how to day hello, and yes, and no, and how are you.. that type of thing.
But this app, is so clever, it really transforms learning.
It allows you to do several thing functionally- start with the basics, do levels, gain points, go back etc.
Pedagogically its amazing. In each level, you do several things such as translate, speak phases, match up words and their meaning, write in the language, etc. it also includes pictures so that you can visualise something and understand the meaning. You get to do all these thing, and you learn how the syntax works at the same time through hints and stuff. Its basically just a game.
I've already learnt words like pomme (apple) robe (dress) noir (black) rouge (red) le/la/'l (the) hoome (male) femme (female) fille (girl) garcon (boy) et (and) calmes (calm) magne/mangez/manges/mangent (eat) livre (book) journal (newspaper) lisons (read) sommes (are) enfant (child) vous (you) nous (we) menu (menu) orange (orange) and a tonne more- and I've only done 2 levels that I completed in about half an hour.
quicker, easier, more engaging, fun, - what more could you want?
