ElizabethB Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I am learning things from it, and I like the format and layout. My daughter enjoys it better than Rosetta Stone. (We had free use of Rosetta Stone for a year, I was not that impressed, we stopped using it after a few months and I just taught Spanish on my own.) It is iStart Spanish, with a cute little penguin picture. It is on sale for $5 right now. I learned about strong and weak vowels, very interesting! I also like that it has 2 native speakers, one from Spain and one from Colombia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamolina Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Thanks for sharing this! My family is moving to South America and really need to get working on our Spanish. Do you think this would be good for that, does it have multiple levels and lots of content? thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElizabethB Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 Thanks for sharing this! My family is moving to South America and really need to get working on our Spanish. Do you think this would be good for that, does it have multiple levels and lots of content? thanks!! It is basically only 1st semester Spanish, it has 50 lessons. However, some of the vocabulary is higher level, they picked some interesting words for some of their examples. If you haven't studied Spanish for a while, it would be a great review before jumping into higher level things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmoira Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 It's free for Android, but due to its size has to be downloaded as five separate apps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Jo Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 *sigh* and I have a Nokia. I think an iPad is going on my Christmas list... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukeswife Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Thanks for posting about this. I've been looking for something fun that would let me kids get an introduction to some of the languages they think they'd like to study. I ended up buying the Spanish, German, and Chinese.

crazyforlatin Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I want to buy German (even though I don't have an iPad....yet). Do we have to have Wifi connection in order to use it after uploading it to the iPad? I know some apps require Wifi in order to be used and I'm hoping this does not.

OK, just for you, I turned off my wifi and tested it...it worked. I only have Spanish, I would assume that the German would be the same.
