What's It About?
Practice common words and phrases in short, regularly scheduled flash card review sessions with LEARN TO SPEAK SPANISH WITH MOSALINGUA. After choosing a starting level, read and hear new material in small batches on digital flash cards. Then, practice writing the words by memory, record and listen to yourself saying them, and evaluate how well you remember them. That material is then presented again at strategic intervals throughout the day for quick, repeated review. Though progress is automated based on performance, there are also many options for customization.
Is It Any Good?
Language learners embark on an automatically personalized, yet customizable, journey to proficiency. Learn to Speak Spanish With MosaLingua presents relevant, high-interest, practical vocabulary and phrases in multiple modalities: read, hear, say, spell, and recall. The 360-degree approach extends beyond the app, too, with blogs, videos, and more. In fact there's so much, both in the app and on the web, that it can be unwieldy to navigate it all. What's more, the app's support material is a bit text-heavy and may not appeal to all learners. Though it's unclear how valid the scientific claims about the strategically timed review notifications are, it certainly can't hurt to practice in short, consistent, and frequent sessions. For those who take the time to learn the ropes of the app's features, make a commitment to following the program, and are motivated to combine the app with additional offscreen practice opportunities, it has the potential to be a powerful tool.
