Nowadays, knowing how to speak and write in English is essential when it comes to getting a job or fully enjoying a trip abroad. Luckily and with the advancement of technology it is becoming easier and easier to learn the language of William Shakespeare and that for this we can use one of the many applications that are available through, for example, Google Play or the Apple Store.
Today through this article we are going to show you 7 of the best apps to learn or improve English, in a simple way and without having to go to an academy, with the loss of time and money that this can entail. Of course, if you have time and financial means, perhaps a great idea is to go to an academy for an intensive course, from where you will almost certainly leave speaking English.
If you want to have more conversation than the typical Hello or How are you ?, prepare your smartphone or tablet because thanks to the applications that we are going to show you below, you will learn English or at least try it.
Duolingo
Duolingo It is one of the best-known applications to learn English of how many exist. Through it we can perform simple, short exercises, but that will allow us to learn in a simple, fast and above all effective way.
As if it were a game, we will have to advance through different levels, being able to start from the simplest, as if we did not know a single word, to a more complicated one. Of course, do not worry because Duolingo offers you several lives to go overcoming levels and learning.
voxy
Most of the applications that we have reviewed and that we are going to review in this article are free to download, but voxy It is a payment application, although from now on I can tell you that it is very worth paying what it is worth. Its price is 44,15 euros per month, although we can enjoy a 7-day trial to assess if we are really interested in paying the high price that Voxy has. If the application convinces you, you can always think that in any academy you would pay more money per month.
And it is that this application, unlike many others of this theme, offers us a very simple and customizable interface. What's more It is possible to configure what we want to learn and also on which topics we are interested in delving further. This will allow us, for example, to learn English based on our knowledge and also to place special emphasis on topics or structures that we may have a little forgotten.
Memrise
Several scientific studies and experts say that one of the best ways to learn languages is through memory and repetition. Memrise is based precisely on this and is that It will propose to us to learn English through memory and repetition relying on images so that we associate these with specific words.
Of all those that I have tried to make this article, I must tell you that it is possibly the most complicated application to handle and the least intuitive, but that once you get the hang of it, it is quite interesting and you can learn many things, in a way simple and even fun. If you have children, this may be one of the best ways for them to start discovering different words in English.
Busuu
This may not be the most popular app for learning English, but is one of the most outstanding that we can download on our mobile device or tablet. The learning method is through lessons from the most basic level, being able to choose from where to start, depending on our current level.
At each level we must complete oral comprehension, vocabulary and grammar reading activities. We will also have to complete a writing exercise that can be corrected by one of the many native English people who are part of the great community that is Busuu.
This application can be downloaded for free from Google Play or the Apple Store, which you can access from the links shown below. Also, if you want to learn or improve any other language you can do it from Busuu, since we can not only learn English.
Babbel
The name of this application, BabbelIt is not by chance, and its name refers to the Babbel method, which is based on three very different points. The first one is that of learn and remember, the second that of deepen and finally that of summary. The application that will allow us to learn a huge amount of vocabulary is based on these three points, for all those who fail in this aspect and not for example in building grammatical structures or in using different verbs and tenses.
Babbel can be downloaded for free through Google Play and the App Store and as we already said, if you lack vocabulary, it can be your perfect application to become a real dictionary of the English language in a short time.
Wlingua
Wlingua It is today the second highest rated application in the official Google application store or what is the same Google Play, of how many are available to learn English. Through a simple interface, it offers us more than 600 lessons that go from the beginner level to an intermediate level (A1, A2, B1 and B2). These lessons are divided into British English and American English, something at least curious and at the same time interesting.
We will also have thousands of exercises available in the free version of the application, but if with this we do not have enough to learn or consolidate our English, we can always subscribe to the application, with a price that ranges from 9,99 euros per month to 59,99 euros per year.
MosaLingua
To close this list we are going to tell you about the application MosaLingua, an application that, although it is not free, does offer us a free version to be able to try it and decide if we invest a small amount of money in learning English. Through thousands of cards we can study or improve our English in a simple way.
One of the curiosities of this application is that promises to learn 20% of the English used in 80% of situations. Something like this is not promised by the best occasions. This should undoubtedly make us a bit suspicious, but after testing the application the truth is that the results are quite interesting.
