Spanish Words 4 Beginners app for iPhone and iPad

Newly revised based on feedback from some of our 125,000 users, this word recognition and language learning tool provides a new “touch” mode which allows new readers and language learners to simply touch pictures and words to hear native voices saying the common words in the game. In Touch Mode, users can press any word in any set, as often as they like, and hear the sounds for each word in a clear voice.

Spanish 4 Beginners is a tool for beginning learners of the Spanish language. The Wordz Lianxi practice system provides a mechanism for reviewing, learning and testing your memory of 288 basic Spanish words. When used as part of Spanish language education, this simple “match the words to pictures” exercise helps to remember basic words in the Spanish Language. The system works by having the student match English to Spanish words and pictures, and for matching Spanish words to English words and pictures.

The game includes 16 word sets with a total of 288 basic words in 16 sets, including a good mix of nouns, adjectives and verbs. Nouns are introduced with their respective definite articles to help English learners recognize noun genders.

The game includes a "touch mode" to become familiar with words and sounds, a review mode progress systematically through all the words in a given set, and a play mode to test memory for words in a set. All words are voiced with both male and female voice options.

This app is designed to help with native speaker pronunciation and word recognition as part of a larger effort to learn a new language. Being able to hear a native speaker is critical to language development, as is the basic ability to recognize words. Word recognition can be especially difficult across the Indo-European (English, French, Spanish, Italian and German) and Sino-Tibetan (Chinese, Japanese and Korean) language divide. Similarly, the divide between tonal and non-tonal languages also complicates learning the ability to hear and speak a new kind of language.

The app can also be useful for new language learners, first learning to read even in their own language, or to second language learners that do not have easy or frequent access to native speakers of their target language.

This app is not designed as a general-purpose language learning too, but as an aide to these specific tasks.
