New Kindle Apps - Interactive Spanish Language Training

koland · 02-17-2011, 12:27 PM

There are two new Kindle Apps today from 24/7 TUTOR. Both are language training apps for Spanish (and I'm sure other languages will follow)

24-7 Spanish - Basic Phrases ($3.99)

App Description
Learn Spanish with your own personal language tutor.

24-7 Spanish - Basic Phrases is a fun way to learn a language. Going beyond a talking phrasebook or set of flashcards, this title provides a set of interactive study tools to help you learn the language, including traditional flashcards, a multiple choice quiz, an entertaining hangman-style game, and a write-in quiz to test language recall.

Content includes conversational phrases organized in 13 categories including First Phrases, Greetings, Getting to Know, Communication, Questions, Wants, Needs, Feelings, Common Expressions, Interjections, To Go, and other common and miscellaneous phrases. Spanish - Basic Phrases is different from 24-7's other Spanish language tutor title Spanish - Vocabulary in that it provides full phrases versus basic vocabulary terms.

Spanish - Basic Phrases is a useful tool for beginners who may wish to refresh basic Spanish skills, and a great companion for a trip in a Spanish-speaking country.

Interesting but it does not appear to use the audio aspects of the kindle - no SPOKEN voices???

at the moment the KDK doesn't support audio. So they can't add spoken voice.

There should eventually be support for the microphone as well, but nothing yet. When they do, that will be very nice (but I foresee HUGE file sizes for the apps).
