I found this program to be extremely boring.
This is just vocabulary. Not much for $7.99.
I like this app, but I am just a beginner. The flash card feature is most useful to me.
$8 for the same 32 phrases not even that good but oh well...
I love this program and bought all the others including the restaurant one as well. I am waiting for more to buy. You will really learn from this. One year and a half I knew no Spanish now I can speak and understand everything thanks to this app. I am even trying the French and Italian and learning the basics it is fun!
App works like it should, easy to read and listen. Has a descent vocab to start learning from. Overall a great app to learn some spanish words :)
For $8 + tax you can buy an entire book on Spanish. I was expecting maybe half of that in convenient portable package to use while in Mexico and not connected to 3G. This contains nothing more than what can be found in a small pocket size guide (the size of an iPhone) and it is not any easier to search than such a guide. I wish I had checked the quality of the vocab app before purchasing the phrase app as well. I have never written a review before, so the fact that I am should indicate how strongly I feel. Buy a pocket sized guide instead.
Ive bought both the 24/7 Tutor vocab and phrases programs. Im really impressed by the methods used in these apps. What a great way to learn! There are several learning functions, each with a progressive level of difficulty. The inclusion of audio pronunciation for every word and phrase is perfect. This is so important for language learning. In this app you can hear the word at any point in the app where you encounter it. The first function, study list, is similar to what most apps of this type provide: Spanish words along with spoken audio. Most apps just have this and little else but this app includes so much more. The next function is the multiple choice quiz which is relatively easy because you can often narrow it down to a couple possibilities by process of elimination. A good way to use this quiz is to just listen to the audio rather than look a the text of the Spanish, then choose the answer. That way you can really improve your speech recognition abilities. The puzzle quiz is similar to the classic hangman game where you select letters from the alphabet and the app fills in the word or phrase outline. This is really a fun method. You can cheat by listening to the audio and I usually do this initially rather than give up when I cant remember, esssntially making it an audio transciption test. The write in quiz is the most difficult. It includes an option to show a line that indicates for each letter entered, whether its correct or not. I really like this because for a new word its often so hard to enter it exactly correctly the first time. After a couple interations I can usually turn off the option and spell the word from memory. Other aspects of the app that are good are the score keeping and priority feature. The app displays your current score per quiz method for each category. That way you can easily track your progress. The priority feature allows you to just be tested on the words you need more pracrice with. This lets you optimize your time and focus on the most important items. I hope they make more of these with additional vocabulary. I really like these apps.
Im amazed at how much Ive learned in the short time Ive had this app. Its really a great way to study and so much more interactive than other apps Ive tried. Just what I needed!
Ive been using both this vocab app and also the phrases app and Im amazed at how quickly Im learning. The variety of study methods is very helpful. It lets you work up from the easy tests to the more difficult types of quizzes. This interactive approach to learning suits me perfectly. The ability to track your progress with the catgeory scores is also very helpful. The audio is good and sounds very authentic. I definitely can recommend this app. It really works for me.
This is a great easy to use app if you want to learn basic Spanish!!!
This is THE way for a busy person to learn a language. Its a pocket classroom; you can take a lesson and get quizzed whenever you want. Dynamite.
The design of the program is fine. However, the vocabulary selection is really small and doesnt include any verbs. Would have expected more for the price tag.
