Great iPhone app for learning Spanish
Filed Under Best Bytes, Spanish
I’ve just downloaded two classes from buenoentonces.com for my iPhone and I’m very impressed. Each class session starts with a story (TPRS-style) that creates a believable context for introducing new vocabulary concepts, grammar concepts, and pronunciation tips. The interface makes it easy for the learner to pause the dialogue and reference a special “Key” that the creators use to describe the most frequently used language structures. The natural, full-speed dialogue helps listeners to decode quickly and make quick connections as to the meaning of words. The entertaining banter will make these episodes fun to listen to on more than just one occasion. All of this simulates in a very real and supportive way the language immersion experience. Two thumbs up! Five stars! I wish this series all the success in the world!
