Earworm Spanish Language app

[FJK]

Hi, Have any of you used the 'Earworms' language learning app and found it useful in learning Spanish? TIA

I have not, so I cannot speak specifically about it. But any app that says things like anchors them into the auditory cortex of your brain does make me wonder. It can't hurt to try though.

I can however recommend the free (donation if you wish) app called Language Transfer. It works very well, and is the kind of app that you can re-listen to every few months... learning a bit more every time.

 

[FJK]

Thank you. I will try both

Heartily agree that Language Transfer is a wonderful way to start and continue learning Spanish.

Language Transfer is great, and I find the instructor's voice to be very calm and reassuring.

I've had the most success in Spanish learning starting with the Dreaming Spanish website and then augmenting with Spanish language podcasts. With this methodology, I've gotten to the point where I can understand the Spanish language El Camino People podcasts.

 

[FJK]

Hadn’t heard of that source so will try it too. Thanks

Thanks for the recommendations. I'll check out Language Transfer.

I'm looking for an app/podcast that I can listen to passively while walking. Not something like Duolingo where I have to actively participate. I'd love to find something to listen to on days where the walking is long and the scenery mediocre. And because I'll be in Spain I can try out what I've learned at the next town.
