Did you know that you may be wasting a huge portion of your time learning Spanish due to inefficient learning methods? Let me tell you how you can learn FASTER.
It’s all about a new technique called Intelligent Cumulative Exposure. As much as we’d like to think that we can improve our Spanish by watching movies or just being dumped in the right country, our brains are proven to best absorb new language concepts one-at-a-time, in small increments. And I don’t mean just learning word lists one-at-a-time. I mean building your actual sentence-forming skills from the ground up.
Why Brainscape Spanish Works
Intelligent Cumulative Exposure (ICE) is the system of introducing concepts incrementally, at gradually increasing difficulty, in the context of REAL sentences, while repeating the tough concepts in the right intervals of time based on YOUR confidence levels. ICE is also a method that explains grammatical nuances in PLAIN ENGLISH rather than hoping you just “figure them out” through immersion.
Theres no reason you should be hearing totally unfamiliar strings of gibberish fly in one ear and out the other. You should be building yourself up by scaffolding one concept at a time.
The problem is that there are currently NO apps on the market that apply the simple ICE method. Creating a comprehensive curriculum based on Intelligent Cumulative Exposure takes WORK, and most app developers are more concerned with flashy software than with actual learning sciences.
UNTIL NOW.
Brainscape’s learning scientists from Columbia and Yale Universities have spent the past THREE YEARS developing a complete, scientifically optimized Spanish curriculum tailored specifically for the mobile environment. In the process, we have created the first web and mobile app based around Intelligent Cumulative Exposure. Check out our 40-page white paper on our website, explaining the cognitive science behind why this works.
With Brainscapes Learn Spanish, you get:
- A carefully tailored curriculum that builds on previous concepts and guides you from beginner to conversational at your own pace
- The equivalent of FOUR YEARS WORTH of high school Spanish classes
- Over 10,000 AUDIO flashcards for the most common Spanish words, phrases, and sentence constructions
- Simple explanations for key grammatical concepts and the most common verb conjugations
- Ongoing feedback, statistics, and visualization tools to help you track your progress
- A network of thousands of other learners who support each other’s learning every day
We look forward to working with you over the months and years to come. You’ll be glad you joined the Brainscape community.
Pros and cons of Learn Spanish ASAP app for iPhone and iPad
Learn Spanish ASAP app good for
And believe me, ive tried a lot, this ones the best... Excellent spaced repetition. :)
P.S. to Brainscape: Id be happy to pay for in app purchasing of more sentences!
I was somewhat sceptical about yet another magic al method for learning a language. I dont think I had really understood what was behind the claims, but if you are really honest with yourself about your level of confidence in knowing and understanding each phrase or word or grammar point then the software allows. You to build.
Im hooked.
The idea and the material (content and structure) are excellent.
I have one wish for an additional feature: a short grammar reference section. Currently I use another app in parallel (on another device) to check up on grammar topics when Im unsure.
As a grammar reference a brief description 1 to 2 pages per topic would be excellent. E.g. "the imperative", when is it used, what are the standard endings.
5 Stars if I can include it into the Brainscape Main App. Is it possible? How?
this app is great to learn Spanish. It is fun to learn, not boring at all. I like the different colours you choose yourself when learning, the cards are repeated automatically thus forcing oneself to concentrate and improve your knowledge.
Very good App, course is structured very well. I dislike the need to register.
Some bad moments
Please make an upgrade to fix the app. I havent been able to start it for a few months now. This sucks, because it IS a great app and I want to keep learning with it. I didnt mind paying for it, but the more I mind when its not working. Please do something about that. Greetz
See title, I deleted the APP meanwhile.
I do not trust the designer anymore that he fixes this, this is a lacking respect for all customers ! I will never buy again APPS from this company.
This is just a glorified flash card system. Doesnt explain personal pronouns or give you any basic structure of the language. No explanation of adjectives, adverbs etc.
If you want to learn any language this system is not effective at all. The description is faulty, as the material is presented in a flash card system only.
If you have no knowledge of the language stay away from this app as you will have no clue on how to structure a sentence or conjugate a verb. Overall a waste of money.
Apps stopped working with ios7 intallation. Did uninstall and reinstall and it still does not work. Quite frustrating as there is no way to report bugs, send an email or to contact them whatsoever. How do I get reimbursed?
So the last update deleted the sentence builder feature which, in my opinion, made it great and unique and taught you to construct proper sentences and gave words context instead of just memorizing separate out-of-context words on cards.
Unfortunately, now it is just another flashcard-based language app. Disappointed.... :(
I forgot my password and pressed reset. It says to check my email for the reset password but NOTHING shows up! Its been days. Ive tried a few times! It wont let me back into the app and I paid full price!!
