My friend Mathias told me about one apps for learn english or others languages. This apps it’s flashcards so you enter your new vocabulary in caractere or alphabetic then the language and the definition. After you can play with this apps and practice your prononciation and memory. I like this apps because you learn and enjoy at the same time. Just a little hard to enter the new all words. I advice this apps to my husband too for his portuguese language but he’s lazzy so i’m afraid he will never use it.

My friend Mathias told me about an app for learning English or others languages. It is called Flashcards+  and you add all your new vocabulary words either using characters or Roman alphabet, then you create a language category and insert the definitions. After that you can play with it and practice your pronunciation and memory. I like it because you learn and enjoy at the same time. It is just a little hard to add all the new  words. I recommended this app to my husband too, so he can learn Portuguese, but he’s lazy so I‘m afraid he will never use it.
