[RNLD] List or review of language apps

Sat Feb 25 07:11:24 UTC 2017

Dear John

This would probably be related to linked audio examples (most have) but then
being able to hear yourself in comparison. Fairly easy to set up on mobile

Also combining words into sentences and using classic examples with
substitution to provide more exercises apropos Christine Eyre

Cheers

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
