Preply: Tips to learn languages with your mobile phone

 

Languages are the most prominent medium of conversation among human beings. Population grows, societies divide and so different people speak different languages. It is always a good idea to learn as many languages you can, not only it helps you to have a conversation in a different language (other than your mother tongue), it also helps you to understand the culture of a different land.

 

Well, I got to learn Spanish during my MBA and had spanish teachers at preply.com but it is always good to install various foreign language learning apps on your smartphone in case you are stuck in beginning period of your course.

Nowadays every smartphone (with Android OS) comes with pre-installed languages of almost every country which you can use as an interface, so that you can have language of your choice.

 

To start with learning languages with your mobile phone, let's first install some apps.

Some of the best android apps for learning languages are viz. Dulingo, Memrise, Babbel, Busuu, etc. I have personally used Dulingo and it is a wonderful app. It allows you to learn English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Irish, Danish, Swedish, Russian, Ukrainian, Esperanto, Polish and Turkish. Spend some minutes daily and you will have a basic knowledge of your desired language.

Reading is the best way to know and learn about new things and if you are above the beginner's level in learning a new language then reading ebooks on your mobile phone is a good idea. It will give you indepth knowledge about correct usage of words and sentences.
