It would be of great interest if someone were to undertake empirical research on the effectiveness of these apps. Do people actually learn (better) from them? I tend to see a lot of finger action and reading, but precious little oral communication taking place when people use them. It might be more productive to get people to use their phones to have conversations with native speakers.
Regards,
John

Hi Samantha
I've shared a list of some that I came across while working on 'Angkety Map', the First Languages Australia digital resources report. I'll clean up the list a little, and check that links are still valid.
The list is on Google Drive here: https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/2mpEBkUd53Aes3?domain=goo.gl
The report is here: https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/6eKvBwH36QVbTl?domain=firstlanguages.org.au
regards,

Subject: [RNLD] List or review of language apps
Hi there
Has anyone compiled a list or review of language apps in use for Australian languages?
All responses appreciated and will be passed on to a Central Australian group keen to get an overview of what’s out there and effective for languages teaching and learning – for ages 3-adult.
Thanks
Samantha Disbray
