What's up guys a few people been asking me about certain apps that they can use for language
learning, and so I decided I was just gonna make a video about the best apps and the best
things you can do on your phone or on your tablets that I are gonna help you learn your
language quick.
So, honestly, the first thing that I can recommend to you is that your whole phone or your whole
tablet can be a language learning tool.
You have to go to your settings and change the language to whatever language you're learning.
See, I'm learning French so I have my whole tablet set French.
My whole iPad.
And people are scared of doing that because then I think I'll never be able to understand
what's going on and I need my phone, but honestly, you're so familiar with your phone already
that I find 90% of the time when something comes up in French I can figure out what's
going on just be just based off context, and based off what I already know was going on
my phone so I just want to show you a few of the apps after you set your whole phone
to the language.
So, the first one I want to point out is called memrize and this is a great app.
It's basically a digital flash card app.
You can choose different flash card decks.
These are all my different decks that I have.
I have some in Esperanto some in French, one for Spanish.
This is just a premade one and basically you just click on whatever level and it'll test
you on your vocabulary words.
Here it's giving me an audio test and I gotta click on whatever it was the right one.
Then also give you text tests and I think this is something like se saouler.
Something like that.
Yeah.
That's right.
Now, this is kind of an advanced French flash card deck but you can also do more basic ones.
So for example, I'm just gonna search for... where's French in here?
There's French.
I'm doing French four or five, or something like that.
You can go to French one and start learning that.
It' gonna give you much more basic words.
Hi, what's up.
It's gonna start giving you basic words like this salute, hi, quoi de neuf, what's up,let's
go.
Memrise is great application for learning vocabulary words like that.
The other one I want to point out, the really common, one is Duolingo.
And I have mixed feelings about Duolingo because I feel like there's much better ways of learning
grammar but as far as just getting the basics of the language it's really great.
So this is basically just has another type of quiz thing for you and so I'm actually
learning French for Spanish speakers right now so la mujer which is the woman and I'm
gonna click on la femme this is great it's actually really fun and it's very interactive
because you can there is a lot of different ways that you can interact with other people
you can join other clubs with other people you can make your own profile and then you
can see all your friends to see how much your friends have been learning
this week so these guys are slacking because they have zero experience and these guys been
doing pretty good you can set goals for yourself do you just want to learn a little bit every
day do you want to go super intense and do a lot of tests everyday and I'm gonna keep
mine at normal so
I want to point out is HelloTalk and this is really great I like this a lot better than
Duolingo because this is going to actually help you get experience talking to native
speakers so this is an app where you can go on here and you can just look for other people
that are on this app that speak the language you're trying to learn and they're trying
to learn your language so you know there's a bunch people here from France this guy is
from... he lives in the United States but he is learning French.
Or he speaks French and he is learning English, i guess.
And then you just make friends with some of these people and then you can talk to them.
So I'll just show you this lady.
I've been talking to her in French.
And the reason that I love hello talk so much is it a lot of different cool things that
you can do so you can see here I wrote something in French and down here she corrected my French
because apparently I had made some mistakes so there's a little button on here like let's
see for example okay so she wrote this in English I can correct what she said, Let's
just say she made a mistake...
I have a bad connection Internet here... okay so she made this mistake here you have to
say I have a bad internet connection and then I can correct her mistakes and and It'll show
up as a correction just like there.
so let's say I didn't understand what she was saying here.
I can click on this, and I can get a translation of it.
So do you like swings swinging songs?
you know translations aren't always perfect but basically what she's saying here is like
do you like swing music so hello talk is just a great app for getting to know native speakers
and for learning how they actually talk.
The other one that I want to show you his Instagram which you might not think of as
being a language learning thing but it really can be so I guess I gotta turn my iPad like
this I'm following a bunch of French people on here so this is some kind of celebrity
from France and she you know she just makes posts in French and then every day you can
see it and read her posts in French apparently her dogs are upset about the French elections
that they just had then you just follow her and you know you get practice reading stuff
in French every day And it's stuff that might be funny or interesting
to you and you can follow as many people as you want I'm pretty sure this guy is French
so he posted stuff in French and then you just get a chance to read french stuff everyday
and you can do this also with Twitter with Facebook with whatever...
probably snap chat I'm not on Snapchat but you can probably do it on there or whatever
other social media you're on so Reddit is another great example I'm learning French
so all I'm gonna do...
all you have to do when you're learning a language is just gonna type in R, and then
a little backslash sign and then whatever language you're learning and then French is
a pretty popular language there's a lot of them but I'm gonna go to this one with a whole
bunch of people and you can see this 27 people from this Reddit online right now and then
you can just go on and you can ask different questions and stuff.
here's some beginners.
He's asking what this phrase means and people just have different questions where do you
start when you're learning French people post videos and the language see here this guy
is telling you how to use your... how to improve your French by playing this video game and
this is great because if you specific questions about the language that you're just not you're
confused about and maybe you're on the Duolingo course and something doesn't make sense to
you on Duolingo.
you can come in here and post your question 27 people online right now so there's probably
it's a good chance that someone's gonna answer your question right away and if you're learning
a more rare language like if you're learning Wolof or Urdu or some like that it might not
be as many people but there's a ton of Reddits for every language.
Let's see.
you can do can do R hungarian.
See and there's a sub Reddit for Hungarian speakers and there's six people online right
now and this is really gonna be great for helping you when you have specific questions
that you don't know anyone else that can help you with them.
so I hope you guys enjoy this video, and that it gave you some good ideas for some apps
that you should be using to learn your language if you liked this video and you're learning
a language then you can go ahead and subscribe to my channel I make new videos every week
and it's my goal to make language learning fast fun and easy for you guys so thanks for
watching the video and will see you guys next time.
