Favourite free iPad apps for learning Spanish

Below, I have gathered some iPad learning Spanish applications that I have downloaded and tried. Unfortunately free apps are only for beginners, and have limited opportunities. I have some good paid apps in mind as well, but I'm not sure if I should mention and advertise them. If you have in mind other applications that is worth mentioning, please feel free to write them down here.

1. Translators: All translators I've tried are very good and translated any of my entered words.

iTranslate (very good), HTranslator, Translator, MyLanguage (very good)

2. Spanish Conversation: It consists of 20 lessons, quizzes and games and after finishing this app you’ll be able to know some Spanish expressions, only used in oral speech. I downloaded for free, I'm not sure if it's still for free.

3. FetchSpanish: An app just for fun and mostly for kids. It's a game where you collect things and at the same time you learn how they are said in Spanish.

4. SpanglishFree: My favourite app. It has a quiz of 1000 spanish words, verb families, cognates and false cognates, confusing words, word scramble, quotes and proverbs.

5. iSabi Spanish: An app for total beginners. It has a quiz of some basic Spanish vocabulary.

** 6. Spanish Test (lite):** It’s a multiple choice grammar test. It’s very good for beginners.

7. Busuu: Busuu is another learning community, and it gives you the chance to learn other languages apart from Spanish. I’m not a member so I can’t rate the site. The Spanish app is pretty good, you can learn useful basic expressions and there are courses up to intermediate level (B2).

8. LearnSpanish HD: It’s a phrasebook with useful expressions. Unfortunately, you have to pay for the full app in order to download the whole phrasebook.

Please feel free to correct any mistakes smile.

Some of these apps are great for learning beginner vocabulary etc (I think Busuu is the best of the ones you mentioned for that...) but also check out dBook Spanish Reader, where you can learn by reading interesting articles.

There are two other good apps for reviewing Spanish vocabulary:

Brainscape and Learn Spanish Vocab

Both of these have a flashcard-like feel. They're both based on recent brain research and optimize for efficiency. Both of them have audio pronunciation built-in.

Brainscape is kind of expensive whereas Learn Spanish Vocab is free (at least for now).

¡Buena suerte!
