nikolic993 Posted October 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Sorry for the late reply!At the moment I'm only using the euronews, Advanced English Dictionary and the Global TV apps. I stopped using flashcards and now I'm focusing on getting new vocabulary from extensive reading and listening.I forgot to mention these apps that I also use every day:6.

nikolic993 Posted October 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Thank yo for your suggestions. But do you have anything to recommend for Android phones?Sorry, I never used an Android phone, but these 2 apps come to mind: Duolingo, Memrise.You can also find a good podcast app, change the language, and search for podcasts in your target language. Also, try to find a dictionary that can save(favourite) words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
