Endless Spanish – An App to Help Young Students Learn Spanish

by

endless spanish From the same people that brought us the popular Endless Reader app comes Endless Spanish. Endless Spanish is an iPad app designed to help young students learn to speak and spell in Spanish. The app has an immersion mode and a translation mode. The immersion mode is completely in Spanish while the translation mode gives students directions and guidance spoken in English.

Endless Spanish presents students with common Spanish words that they have to spell. The app shows students the word, pronounces it aloud, then asks students to put the word back together by dragging letters on the screen. When students touch a letter on the screen they hear its pronunciation from the app’s narrator.

The first time that you open the app you take an assessment to determine your current proficiency in Spanish. Based on those assessments uSpeak will determine which activities you should try first. Once you’ve registered on uSpeak it will keep track of your progress for you.

uSpeak’s word lists are organized in webs of related words. Click on any web to reveal the words. Then click on a word to reveal a web of in-context uses of that word, images associated with that word, and synonyms and antonyms for your chosen word. uSpeak’s learning games include matching words to images, matching translations, and word association games.
