Mirai Spanish

I love Mirai! I started with Mirai Japanese and loved how it teaches grammar and sentence structure of a language, the actual rules of that language, and how A + B +C =ABC, then you can infer.. ohh that means A+B+D=ABD and A+C+D = ACD, etc. For example. (I, you, he) ( Did, like to, will), then (eat, sleep, learn). Now i can say “he likes to eat, I will sleep, I did like to eat, you will learn”, and all other possible combinations of those. So much better than all the horrible multiple choice memory based learning apps!!! You can also click to play, so you can learn at your own speed and click to repeat things as many times as you want to hear it. You can go into settings and speed it up or slow it down, You can learn in a way that you want. When he asks how to say something, i highly recommend pausing it to say it aloud to yourself, then playing it again to see if you guessed correctly based on what you have already learned! I also write a journal of different combinations of sentences from what i have learned for the day. I was so happy to find out there is also a spanish version!!! So happy!! And it does both Spanish from Spain and Mexico at the same time!! It solved all of the problems and misunderstandings from all of the other apps for Spanish right off the bat! Now i need more Mirai in other languages!!

I’ve downloaded many spanish teaching apps, and this is the only app that i can fully recommend to anyone who wants to learn basic spanish. Unlike other apps, it explains how words and sentences are formed. You won’t just be memorizing words and phrases. For instance, when you encounter a new verb, you would know how to use it properly in different tenses. I’m gonna deduct a star though because of the quizzes. Especially in the latter chapters wherein the quizzes reeked of laziness. Imagine a timed question wherein the choices are all long sentences, and the only difference between the choices are the placement of accents, or a single different vowel. I’ve shown this to several native spanish speakers and they agreed because even they made mistakes! Also, take note that this app hasn’t been updated for years. Just pay for a month’s subscription then cancel your subscription immediately. As long as you finish all lessons after one month (145 total) these lessons will still be viewable even after the subscription lapses. Shame Mirai has stopped updating their language apps, their apps are very effective. I also learned basic french using their french app which is no longer available on the app store.

I have been using this app for a while (6 months)but I can say I have had more fun learning Spanish with this app. Although this app initial installment version was much better, this version has proven useful. In addition it is a far better learning tool than the boring hours spent using the Rosetta Stone method. The other upside to using this economic learning tool it helps you to retain more by teaching you the finer points of this language. Incredible!
