I assume you mean language-learning.....I have been getting Pimsleur Spanish from the library. It's excellent. You can also buy the course, but if you were to do that I'd suggest getting it through Audible as it's much cheaper than buying directly.
There's Duolingo too which is basically grammar-translation methodology which has been game-itised. Some people love it. I don't love it, but I do keep using it.
 
I used "Language transfer" and liked it very much. It builds on the many similarities between English and Spanish. It comes in the form of a dialogue between teacher and pupil.

I don't know if it's in the Apple Store, but in Play Store there's a free offline Spanish-English dictionary & translator by Dragoma.
 
The dictionary dict.cc is also available as offline app.
Has many language combinations.

I love the Ios app - Sayhi
You speak English into it and it translates what you say into the language you've chosen. You hear and see the translation. I recon it would be handy when you are communicating with someone who doesn't know English.
I use it to cheat a little while doing my Duolingo lessons sometimes. :eek:
Not sure if it has an offline mode though.

Google translate does the same, and you can download language packs for offline use. You can also use the camera function to instantly translate text, like menus, signs, etc.
 
Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.

I use Microsoft’s Translator app for iOS. It allows for offline use just like Google Translate, as @trecile mentioned. You can’t really go wrong with Google Translate but Microsoft’s app has a few features that I personally like. If you are looking for learning a language with offline capabilities, try Pimsleur. It will teach you the language the way the locals speak rather than learning how to speak like a robot (all too formal).

Bom Camino
Out of curiosity, which features on the Microsoft app make it preferable for you? I have both on my phone but find myself using the Google app out of habit. But maybe there are reasons to switch.

I would like to walk the river route in Tui next month. I can see on google maps exactly where it starts, but it seems a bit overgrown. Has anybody used this route this year or last year...
Hello, my friend of 50+ years and I are on our first Camino walk. We are looking for: 1) safe, comfortable hostels in Lisbon; 2) stages from Lisbon to Porto (via Tomar) in about 16 days...
Hi I have searched everywhere to see if there is a luggage service from Lisbon to Porto. I know there is from Porto to Santiago, but Lisbon ???. Thanks for any info.
