The reviews are in: Living Language apps are fun, easy-to-use, and effective for learning new languages. Recently the New York Times and Wired praised the app for its overall quality, innovative games, and comprehensive instruction.
Bob Tedeschi of the Personal Tech section of the New York Times called the Living Language Italian app “nothing short of delightful” with a “consistently good experience” (as compared to competition) and “a range of surprising and engaging exercises and games that test and build knowledge.”
Tedeschi also complimented the app’s design, saying “The app’s developers evidently obsessed over little elements, like the way the software responds to the touch. The typeface design and color scheme, too, are friendly to the eye.” Overall, the review was positive and the minor technical glitches he mentions are currently being worked on by the Living Language team.
Just this past week, Melissa Wiley of the column “Geek Mom” at Wired.com wrote a review of the German iPad app, which she used with her 11- and 13-year-old daughters. Her bottom line? “My kids enjoy it and they’re learning a ton.” Wiley likes the “easy functionality and plentiful games” as well as the “seamless integration of grammar and vocabulary, especially the emphasis on useful everyday phrases.”
She also points out that the “typing exercises require the student to enter words manually; this is an important component of fluency, and the way it works in this app is smooth and simple.”
