Customer Reviews
Just perfect
Great selection of useful topics&words, crystal clear sounds, the phonetics are just a must and the favorites are perfect. Well worth the price.
Yes!
Thank You! I have been waiting for this forever! It is great just what I need for my high school Spanish class!
Simple but useful
This app would be very useful if I was traveling to Mexico.
Pros:
*clear and slow speech
*attractive design/pictures
*organized very well
*most helpful references (color, number, menu, shoe size) with some simple rules and terms to keep in mind
Cons:
*only 300 phrases, I hope they add more! You would not be able to hold a simple conversation by only using this, but these phrases are mostly used to ask for help and simple questions and requests.
*The essential list is way to simple, I wish there were more options to say different things for "hello". In fact I didn't even see "how are you" in there.
CONCLUSION:
Great for a trip to Mexico, but not so great to actually learn something from it. I didn't give it a perfect score only because I would loved to have seen more terms I've actually learned. I wish there were better phrases for people to learn to have more interesting conversations with Mexicans and other Spanish speakers. Its only useful for my Spanish class for the quick references the app has in case I don't have my book with me. For the price, its "Muy Bein!"
