What’s It About?
To use LEARN SPANISH (HELLO-HELLO), first choose your native language and start Lesson 1. Read what you're going to learn in that lesson. After you watch the video with animated characters having a conversation, go to the reinforcement page where you listen to a phrase spoken in Spanish, speak it yourself, then write and check it. Next you'll read it, listen again, and build related vocabulary. Outside of the lessons, you can also set up the Word of the Day notification to learn a new word at the same time each day. Once you complete all eight steps in a lesson, move onto the next lesson by paying $0.99 per lesson or $19.99 for the full 30-lesson course.
Is It Any Good?
This app takes a thorough and fun approach to learning Spanish. The multi-step method on Learn Spanish (Hello-Hello) requires the app user to speak, write, listen to, and read the animated lesson. This is terrific reinforcement, and it also plays to users' various learning styles. Because the animated characters are adults, a few of the conversations and scenes take on a more adult tone -- dating suggestions, champagne glass in hand -- but the app is still appropriate for teens. It'll be especially fun for teens and adults who already have at least a bit of Spanish vocabulary knowledge, although it's not a necessity. Some of the spelling segments can be difficult, and users will need to switch to the Spanish keyboard on their device to access Spanish letters (accent marks, tildes). For teens and adults who want a systematic approach to learning Spanish, Learn Spanish (Hello-Hello) is a solid option.
