alexalexalex Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Heyy guys, I thought everyone could share good apps they use for learning languages (or other subjects as well tbh) Im particularly interested in Language B german SL so if anyone has an good apps for that (INcluding grammar) that would be absolutely great! 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChocolateandIB Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Duolingo is a good one. Making a pen pal through tumblr or whatever I find is the most effective. You can start a German group in IB Survival and wait for people to join. if you take Bio Sl/HL, ib bio ninja is ok. It hasn't done much to our cohort though. Older cohorts have said "it was our lungs!" Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. And on that note, does anyone know if there is a French group on IB Survival? I haven't come across any so far. As for apps, yes, Duolingo is a good, common one. There's also News in Slow French. (I believe there's a Spanish and Italian version too, and spinoffs in other languages). It has little podcasts of current events spoken in slow-but-not-too-slow French. It has a transcript alongside with translations for highlighted vocab. There is some premium content that has more podcasts and some grammar and idioms and quizzes and stuff, but I find the free content sufficing. I also like Innovative Language for their podcasts. They have absolute beginner to advanced podcasts in 31 languages. Once again, I think the free content is more than enough, but there's some premium content too. Mondly Languages is like Duolingo with more languages, but it has its drawbacks. There is also busuu. It has a community of native speakers along with some exercises to help you learn.

DJackson Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Memrise is good for learning vocabulary. (I know, that's the website but there is an app as well.) You'll have to look elsewhere for solid grammar guidance, but if your interest is picking up some new words on the go, I find this one to be good for me. It's flashcard-based, but the method of learning gradually progresses from multiple choice to having to type the word from memory. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Saab Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Quizlet is probably the best, i think its free to sign up Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
azara Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Slow German is great for content: http://slowgerman.com/Quizlet is also excellent for personalising learning. You can even make a class and each add new vocabulary every lesson, which can be revised later! https://quizlet.comThis has some nice information on it, grammar tidbits and so forth: http://yourdailygerman.com/This is amazing for information clearly laid out, including examples and explanations: http://german.about.com/ I dislike Duolingo, but I guess some people enjoy it so give it a go. Good luck! 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charleen Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Quizlet and Anki are two of the best apps for vocabulary out there. Anki uses spaced repetition learning, so it'll keep track of the words that you are good at and not good at and will give you review on vocab accordingly.
