Android Apps for Spanish – categorized for your use | Education with Technology Harry G. Tuttle

Many wonderful learning apps exist for the Android devices. However, neither the Android Market or AppBrain list the apps within any categories. For example, a search for Spanish reveals a random listing such as a vocabulary app, then a grammar app, then another vocabulary app.

Therefore, I have created a categorized and alphabetical within that category listing of Spanish Android Apps at http://spanishandroidapps.pbworks.com. I have the categories of dictionaries, vocabulary, grammar, culture, and lessons. So far I have gone through all of the Android Market and am half through AppBrain. I have not listed every app; for example, I limited the dictionary apps to about 15.

I am amazed at the number of droid apps that exist for the learning of Spanish. I am hopeful that newer apps will be context based and develop communication skills.

What are your favorite Android learning apps?

Thanks for categorizing apps in one place. It’s really helpful for Spanish learners.

I found this app is very interesting:

You can add words to it, have image representation of words and a lot of vocabulary lists too.
