As promised, here is my update for the duration of week 1-2. As stated in my plan, I would like to outline my strategy and plan, also, getting to know the content of Duolingo and French dictionary app that have been downloaded on my smartphone. I will first elaborate on Duolingo and followed by the second app which is the French dictionary app. I am using Iphone and these apps can be downloaded from apple store for free.

Duolingo is voted as app of the year on apple store. This application is very useful for learning new languages. The interface is user-friendly and interesting for any kind of language learner. When you launch the app for the first time, you are given two categories to choose from, the first category is for beginners and the second one is for those who already have some basic knowledge on the language. Those who choose the second option will be provided with placement test to ensure effective learning experience based on the learners' abilities. The application test every aspect of language learning skills such as listening, reading, oral and writing. It will also provide user with grammatical explanation while giving the correct answer. When you sign up, you will get constant remail to remind you on your practice progress. In case anyone else interested to download the application, here is the link

The second application is called French English dictionary. I have downloaded a few French dictionaries from apple store and by far, this is my utmost favourite. The interface is simple and easy to use. The content is comprehensive with phrasebook, verb conjugator, vocabulary quizzes and offline audio pronunciation. This application is very helpful with improving my pronunciation. Every time I look up for new word, I can just use the audio function to know the right way to pronounce it. I will listen to pronunciation repeatedly and then practise my own pronunciation. I hugely recommend this application and you can download it here . For this application, you are given an option to buy the extended version: $7.99 for extended dictionary, $4.49 for extended phrase book and $4.49 for extended verb conjugation. I did purchase the extended dictionary to enhance my learning experience by using the application.
EARLY THOUGHT?
I definitely liking the features offered by both application. Duolingo is really good to keep you going in your language learning journey. As you improves, the exercises will be harder and harder which suit your level of understanding. For the second application, it is the best and most useful in my opinion as it assists my language learning anytime I need to translate a word, find out the pronunciation or to see the context of how to use the word. I believe that this is a must have application if you are language learner.
