#apps for learning

Apps have taken over our world, haven’t they? We’re “App-ing” our way to most things we do today – hiring a cab, booking a movie ticket, buying grocery and so on. If learning isn’t on this list, something’s definitely missing.

You’ve got to be giving your learners Learning Apps and make the most of their instinct to reach out to their mobile devices for all their learning needs.

Through Learning Apps, you can give them the flexibility to learn when THEY want to – offline or online, from any location.

But I do it because my kids deserve it, and it works great with our super busy life.    Our home-school expenses are built into our family…

My favorite learning app this month so far comes from Mind Snacks, who have built a series of apps that help build essential foreign language vocabulary and conversational skills. While I've downloaded several apps to help me spruce up on my French (I took it for 4 years in high school and a few in college), this one is the best by far. It's highly addictive and offers matching audio clips from native speakers.

They currently offer Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, German, Chinese and Japanese, each with 8-9 different games of various difficulty levels that help players improve their skills while playing. From their website:
