iPhone App Review- A Look At The New Language Learning App- LingoWorld

While learning a new language can be a necessity for a few, for others it could be an interesting choice. Regardless of the language you are planning to learn; dedication and the right tools will be the key to your success.  Books and notes are the most popular way languages are practiced by every second person in the world. But, it’s just that many of us find the approach boring and these plain text teaching formats also lacks the motivation an actual teacher could provide to new language learners. If you fear of choosing a course and leaving it incomplete due to difficulty in understanding, having a busy schedule and ultimately getting frustrated due to the complicated and confusion teaching styles than LingoWorld is not just worth the money but it will also make sure your efforts are not tossed away in the trash.

Can you probably learn Chinese or Italian or Spanish from a tutor who doesn’t understand or speak your native language? LingoWorld is your tutor who can teach you in a language you know. You can learn 10 different languages including Mandarin, English, French, German, Japanese, Icelandic, Italian, Korean, Spanish and Thai while you can choose your native language  from the same list of available languages.

LingoWorld will teach you new languages using common phrases that are categorized by themes. Say you can start your lessons with numbers, formal greetings and later learn common expression used at a shopping mall or at a restaurant. The motive of LingoWorld is to make your learning experience more exciting and motivating while also keeping it easy to understand with the increasing level of grammar and vocabulary used in each statement. You can flip out your iPhone in the real time and learn an expression while also be able to interact with a shopkeeper in a foreign country.

Lessons can be taken after you choose your language, level and theme of your lesson. Simple expressions like “Hello”, “How are you?”, “Thank You!” are followed by more complex conversations in higher levels. With each statement not just do you learn to write and read but also pronounce it in the right way with detailed audio guidance. You can also slow down the pitch by ½ to hear it clearly and thus grasp the pronunciation. Pronouncing words of a new language can be difficult for a few people but listening carefully, continuous repetitions and correcting your mistakes will be definitely a useful feature that’s a part of each sentence that is shown in the lesson. Just tap the microphone symbol and you are ready to take the pronunciation improvement test which works in three steps- listen, speak and correct by comparing it with the voice of a native speaker.

A simple help screen is good enough to understand the neat layout and limited buttons displayed on the screen while Cooori has done a great job of categorizing the teaching lessons into theme and by occasions.

Want to be applauded for learning new phrases and completing simple tasks like ordering a dish at restaurant, greeting a stranger you meet or any thing else you say in new language? LingoWorld rewards you with badges and scores for every successful tasks completion. You can also share your scores and complete with friends that have similar interest of language learning.

LingoWorld is available for Free and gives you the introductory exercises in each language to get an overview of the app. For every additional pack you would like to purchase you can make an in-app purchase but its totally worth each buck you spend after these language and theme packs which offer an easier and interactive language learning experience. Moreover you can get all the exercises available on the device, so you save on the data consumption  and use the app without a working internet connection wherever you go.
