The cool thing about language apps on iPad:

Portable
Instantly on
Audio and visual tests
Audio pronouncers
Touchscreen testing, no mousing around
Tap endless times on the same pronouncers if you like
Easily move within the app, to get to any part

I remember having to go to language labs in college, just to get the audio part, which offered stunted rewinding and such, lol. With iPad (or comparable tablet), everything is on your device.

With the free Mandarin app I loaded, you can even tap to play simple sentences to strangers, say if you're stuck and need to find a restroom, lol.
