In the App Store There is a wide variety of useful applications to perfect and even learn languages, within the limitations of an app. One of the most popular is Duolingo however, make no mistake, they all have advantages and disadvantages. Flashcard Languages is one of these apps to learn languages. Based on "cards" the truth is that it promises a great future but it is also true that it will need to improve in future updates. Let's see those advantages and disadvantages of an application that is garnering very good opinions.
Flashcard Languages: simplicity as a strong point
This is precisely the identity seal of Flashcard Languages. Despite being based on a different method, rather than novel, its success in terms of results lies in its simplicity. It does not include the option of broadcasting through social networks, or publication of your progress or strange learning games that can sometimes be more complicated than even the language you want to learn. It focuses on the language to be learned.
Its operation is simple: you open the app, choose a language (in the purchase, a language to choose is included, for the rest you will have to loosen your pocket one by one) and dive into that world of unknown words based on Flashcards. You can drill down into categories: nouns, verbs, prepositions, and even complete sentences.
Flashcard Languages It also has a statistics section where you can see how many new words you learn / review each day. You can leave words "in the queue", set alerts to remind you that it is time to study or set a goal of words to review each day that you can choose between the "random mode" or those that you have saved "in the queue".
Up to this point Flashcard Languages Looks very good. Focused on what we care about and without absurd functions that have nothing to do with learning a language, however, how can it improve?
What do you need Flashcard Languages to improve?
As Nate Adcock rightly points out in iPhone Life Magazine you miss that Flashcard Languages still do not squeeze the possibilities that iOS 8 gives you, for example:
- It doesn't integrate with iOS so you can set reminders
- It does not include voice so you cannot correctly learn the pronunciation of the new language or correct it but is more focused on learning or memorizing vocabulary (words, expressions) for reading and / or writing, but not for speaking.
- Its integration with Siri would also be interesting so that you can say a word or expression and "throw" the corresponding Flashcard, its translation and even its use according to the context.
Ultimately, Flashcard Languages It is really useful as a study aid or to catch up on a relatively neglected language, not so much to learn from scratch. But, as I already hinted at at the beginning, make no mistake, learning a language is a complicated task that requires a lot of persistence and cannot be done solely through applications Nor before, it was possible to learn English with the fascicles of Planeta De Agostini.
