Assimil Spanish for Pc

the app’s dialog focused approach is different than a lot of the popular apps that focus on teaching you random word combinations in a gameafied setting. Not well known outside of Europe, the app teaches you good pronunciation and useful phrases in a comprehensive course with entertaining dialogs and gives you grammar explanations only when you need them. Pros: - Well respected curriculum recommended by lots of polyglots - All the content of the books in a digital format - Audio is high quality and all in target language spoke clearly by native speakers, no wasting time with long audio explanations in English. - Ability to record yourself after each line of dialog to test your pronunciation - Funny, entertaining dialogs - Lots of relevant cultural notes to give you context to what you are learning - A good, solid base in the language when you are done - Ability to do entire course off-line - Can get it anywhere after a quick download- the app books are hard to find outside of Europe - 30-40% cheaper than the paper version Cons - For English speakers, only Spanish, French, and German are available digitally (lots more options if you can learn from French) - Spanish is focused on European Spanish, no option for Latin American Spanish - The answers in the test questions require exact response the app wants to be correct, including proper accents and capitalization. Sometimes there are multiple possible translations for the answers, but it will only accept the one it has taught you in that lesson or recently. - It might be a little difficult to start and do the lessons right if you’ve never used the app before. There are explanations but the are not always obvious to find or completely clear. - No downloadable audio outside of the app, so if you want to make audio flash cards, you have to record to a microphone, old school style.
