darkchild Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 There are five free apps that aid a person willing to learn a new language. They are: 1. Duolingo 2. Memrise 3. busuu 4. Google Translate 5. iHandy Translator Free Which one do you use or have experience with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trellum Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 This is the first time I hear about ''busuu'' I'm checking the main page right now, but it asks you to join. Sadly it seems this one site doesn't offer Dutch But it offers other languages I might want to learn later I'm guessing it's one of those sites similar to the x-languagepod101.com, that they let you check the course for a couple days, then ask you to subscribe. I'm just guessing though. I might sign up later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChloeK036 Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 I personally use Duolingo. Duolingo has a variety of languages to offer. I am currently learning Spanish, French, Dutch, and Gaelic (Irish). This app is really sound in the teaching method; it uses pictures to word association, verbal communication, and recall practice. Duolingo could easily be described as a free Rosetta Stone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakeisha Brown Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Thank you guys. I'm definitely going to download Duolingo because Google translate isn't doing it for me. Hopefully I can learn a whole lot more with this new app recommendation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoé Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Duolingo and Memrise are very good for memorization, but you shoul also check out Lingolistic, it's a new and free app to learn languages! They have English, French, Spanish, Italian and Mandarin. Enjoy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gracerph Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 I have been using Google Translate for a long time now but thank you for sharing other free language apps that I can check out soon. So far, I've been reading a lot of good feed backs about Memrise and Duolingo so I'm thinking of also trying them soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexMordred Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 I have started and quit Duolingo 2-3 times. Their weird and kinda useless sentences put me off. Also it takes them forever to add new courses. Although it is addictive, I don't consider it a great tool and think you can do way better with other tools and methods. For me it feels like Duolingo is for when you are too lazy to do the real study. Memrise is only good for acquiring vocabulary. I like to make my own flashcards with the words I encountered myself and with the translations I've checked in a few dictionaries to be more sure, so I use Anki instead. Didn't have chance to try buusuu too much, since it requires payment after first lesson. Take a look at fluentU. I love learning new vocab and training overall language comprehension with videos with subtitles in the target language and that's exactly what this website is good for. For some languages it's really hard or nearly impossible to find videos with subtitles in the language. The downside is it doesn't support that many languages and you can't watch many videos for free Also take a look at Learning With Texts. It's a free tool where you can add any text in any language and look up words as you read, add them to your vocab and them into Anki format.

iroxas Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Never thought Google Translate would be listed as an app lol. I mean it helps you translate it from your language to the language you want, but it's not always 100% accurate and I'm not sure how you would learn from that. Eh, well maybe someone knows :P.

lauraxoxo Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 I find Duolingo very effective! It is definitely my favorite language learning app. It makes it so easy and is such an interactive experience, that you barely feel like you're learning a new language. It's great how there are so many options available to us nowadays, and at little or no cost! Duolingo will teach you the basics of a language, but I highly doubt it will make you a master of conversation at that language. When you're done with the program, I would highly recommend you spend time with a native speaker, or watch tv in that language, or something of the sort to get you familiarized with how to speak properly in that language, now that you know the basics. translateviet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aileen Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) Flashcards are a popular way to master those aspects of language learning that you'd need to memorize. For example, verb conjugations, difficult spellings, words with complicated pronunciations, etc. If that's something you'd like to try, visit Cram.com. It's got tons of free flashcard sets, and even better, you can use it to create your own flashcard sets too. Cram comes with a spaced repetition feature that helps your learn better so the content sticks in your long-term memory. Give it a try!

Johnson Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 The key of learning English is frequent practice as it involves numerous vocabs, words and sentence structures. The app FYLP is quite useful as I can find an English Language Partner through it and keep chatting with her. I improve my English skills through frequent communication with English. And I can make a new friend at the same time. It is time to learn language in new and relaxing way, but not stressful, boring, costly, time-consuming.............. https://fylp.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
