0 Apps to learn English

Good morning!

When you are learning a new language, it is extremely important to attend  lessons and study, but you have to take advantage of new technologies and be in touch with the language also when you are not studying or practicing with exercises.

Today I would like you to know three different applications for Android and Apple devices that will help you to improve your english:

English Conversation app
This application is for beginners and intermediate students. It is divided into different daily life conversation topics. Apart from this you can read the conversation at the same time if you want, so it is perfet to improve your listening skills, pronunciation and even vocabulary!.

English idioms and Business English idioms

Both apps are created to improve knowledge and use of idioms to sound more natural when speaking.



Fluent English

FluentEnglish will help you practice understanding native English speakers and increase your vocabulary. It works like an audio book reader and also provides translation for words that you don't understand. For better learning, it also provides pronunciations of each word in several different voices. To learn English with Fluentizer efficiently and to be able to use the dictionaries, your native language needs to be one of the following: Arabic, Armenian, Bulgarian, Chinese, Czech, French, German, Hindi, Croatian, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, or Vietnamese. 
Note that some of the dictionaries and books are very large, so make sure you are on WiFi before downloading them.
