Esvoca: Spanish Vocabulary

I got this app to improve my Spanish vocabulary as I am married to a Spanish speaker. Within the first 15 minutes the app had me learn “cabro” for goat. It just so happens that one of our jokes is to call each other goats. So I used cabro in conversation and my wife had no idea what I was talking about (in fact, cabro is slang for queer). Native speakers never use cabro, the masculine form of cabra, to describe goats. I’ve asked several native speakers and they’ve never even heard the word cabro. Always cabra. I feel like it’s important to get these details right, especially for new learners of the language. Otherwise, we are set off the wrong path from the beginning. Imagine we are in conversation and start using words that native speakers have no clue what we are saying.

Very neat app, great for learning new words and memorizing them. I would love to buy the full version, however everytime I attempt to, the app crashes.

As an intermediate Spanish learner, I love this app. It’s helping me fill in the gaps where I missed with stuffing myself after college and high school. I just wish I could maybe do the learning games longer or not timed, but with “lives” instead. Is there a way to do that? Thanks for such a great app otherwise!!!
