I'm a strong believer that learning different languages makes you look incredibly good when you're in a foreign country and can understand and speak the language.The list below is 4 apps that will help you learn a foreign language!You can download them for free.
Babbel—Learn Languages
Babbel is an excellent language tool to help you progress step by step when you learn a new language.It helps you learn grammar along the way as you work your way through the tasks and assignments.You need to pay a monthly subscription (订阅费),but this will still be cheaper than taking physical lessons with a tutor!
Duolingo—Learn Languages Free
The app has many languages to choose from and will work through the basics all the way to advanced words and sentences.It's all completely free too!It's incredibly well designed,looks great and will help you learn,remember and progress with just a little bit of time every day.
Tandem—Language Exchange
Rather than have you work through tasks and memorize different things,the app lets you match people who share your interests but speak the language you want to learn.You can then have text,voice and video conversations with people who want to learn your native language,and in return you learn theirs,all by simply communicating with each other.It's a great way to learn with only $1 a day.
Busuu—Learn English
This app is perfect if you want to learn English.There are all sorts of audio and visual learning aids.You'll find yourself working through interactive tests and learning tools for vocabulary and dialogue.
