App Review and Giveaway!: iStart Spanish

Posted by Dusty on July 27th, 2010 in Applications , Games , iPhone , News

I don’t even speak Spanish and I LOVE this app! No really, I love this app! From the makers of iStart Japanese, Mirai LLP developers bring you iStart Spanish. My first experience with this app was watching their YouTube video tutorial. They had me wanting this app the moment I pressed play. Sometimes Spanish music get’s to you and get’s your feet moving. And no one even knows if I got up and danced around the room while watching their video ;-P

Have you ever wanted to learn Spanish without having to pay a lot of money for a Spanish course? Have you just moved to Spain, or Mexico and grew up speaking English? YOU NEED THIS APP! With an amazing UI and fabulous graphics, I can see everyone finding it very easy to learn Spanish in a fun way right on their iPhone!

There are tutorials laid out for you to be taught different aspects of the language from the alphabet, to phrases. Each tutorial is guided by a tutor that speaks to you and let’s you know how to say the specific word or sentence. The app is also divided into different parts to make your experience incredible. This app would be an incredible tool to help your kids lean Spanish in school or at home as well!

1) Tutor: An English gentleman speaks softly and nicely to you as you learn but there are different Spanish/English speaking teachers that help you.

2) Summary: Summarizes the main language points in the lesson.

3) Vocab: Lists the new vocabulary in the lesson

4) Quiz : Short interactive quiz for self testing

You can go back and select anything that was missed or needed if you ever needed a mulligan to try it again. Did I mention that I love this app?

The App goes for $4.99 in the App Store

In all honesty, I think this app is great and the developers at Mirai LLP did an amazing job! I would love to see iStart Hindi or iStart Punjabi because I love those languages!

Below is a video that further describes the app. Warning, the music just may move you feet like it did mine! :-)

    The best way to start learning Spanish in Spanish picked up a manual and start drilling in the vocabulary. This option, however, is not usually the best option. Without hearing the spoken language can not develop a natural accent or learn to hold a natural conversation.

    It is really good know,
    that there is a gadget in learning Spanish. Now it will be easy for me to learn
    Spanish. That is my wish for a long time, because I have my plan to
    visit in Barcelona, Spain. I will try that gadget, I will
    just wait for my salary and I will also access for that.

    I love the istart language program!  I have Spanish, just got the Japanese.  It is a very easy and fun way to learn a language.  The moderators explain a lot before the lessons even begin.  I would recommend these programs to everyone.  :)
