Pros and cons of Rebotomy app for iPhone and iPad
Rebotomy app good for
This program has a different take on learning another language. You learn words in context using pictures and actions rather rote memorization of the translation. So far I love it, the speech recoginize needs a little bit of work, but its still the best Ive found so far.
Large pictures and audio, but smaller text than other similar apps - good for not getting distracted by reading, but harder to learn to spell. Recording audio is admittedly beta. Best free app of its kind, though.
I think it s an helpful app, well done, and everybody can create others stacks
Should be rated number one on the app store. Very good language learning premise for a variety of languages. (If I could make a suggestion, Id love to see some American languages - Quechua or Guaraní maybe.) All in all, you cant beat this app for language learning on your phone!
Some bad moments
I started learning Arabic, and liked it so much I bought the whole course. I wonder when Ill be taught how to read, though? I know a little about Arabic letters, so Im deciphering as I go along, but a larger font size would be nice. One thing thats good abut this method is that theres very little choice. Other language software presents a bewildering array of directions to go in, but this is more realistic, as if you were a child learning. Sometimes the voice recognition is a bit frustrating.
This app teaches many languages far better than most apps can teach even one!
Wonderful. This is the first app Ive ever liked enough to pay for.
I am having great fun testing French and English right now. Hopefully there is enough free space available on my iPad, because I want to download full French, English, German, Chinese, Spanish, Arabic, and Vietnamese.
Message to the developers: I need Wolof, too. Would you add Pinyin to Mandarin Chinese soon?
Thank you for the wonderful job!
I enjoy learning German this way, with no English words to get in the way. It has helped me start thinking in German. I had already studied on my own using other media, and I have people to help me if there is something I dont understand from the pictures. Im on lesson 12, and that has only happened once.
My daughter (who has never studied French) and I (knew French well 20 years ago) both agree that this is the best app we have tried for learning (and remembering/refreshing) French.
