Foreign+Language+Apps

Foreign language apps seem to come in to categories: games, vocabulary and readings. There are pictures in a few apps that could take the place of manipulatives in the classroom. Images could be pasted or uploaded into a few of the projector apps. There are not as many apps that teach multiple languages than I thought there would be.

 * [[image:Ana_Lomba's_Spanish_for_Kids.jpg align="center"]] || **Ana Lomba's Spanish Kids: The Red Hen** || Are you trying to get your child started in Spanish? Can’t find the right materials? As a leading educator I can tell you that storytelling is a fantastic strategy to advance quickly in Spanish. Why? Because in the process of learning to do lively readings or act out stories you are intensifying the development of oral and literacy skills. Combining language skills makes a huge difference—and boy, is it fun!

However, not all story-based materials are created equal. I have designed this collection of classic stories specifically for parents and children learning Spanish together. I understand that your needs are quite different than those of teachers or Spanish speakers (although the books will be very useful for them too), and I invite you to try my approach FREE with this version of The Red Hen for the iPad.

Chinese may be a more complex language to learn than, say, Spanish or French. However, there is no reason why you should limit yourself to learning colors, numbers, and isolated words. A better way to proceed is to immerse yourself in real, fluent Chinese from day one and develop strategies to rise to the challenge. || Free ||
 * [[image:ana_lomba's_3little_pigs.jpg align="center"]] ||= **Ana Lomba's 3 Little Pigs** || The Classic Stories series is one piece of the Ana Lomba method. Here are a few strategies that will help you as you begin using the stories with your children:

- Think about the stories as a condensed program. It may seem difficult when you first read them, but you will grow to the challenge. - Use the language button to go back and forth between languages until you understand the page you are working on. It is okay if your child prefers to continue reading the books in two languages. - Focus on picking up the dialogue and don’t worry too much about the narration. It is the dialogue that will help you jumpstart speaking at this early stage. - Don’t worry about speaking with a perfect pronunciation. It is more important that you go ahead and use your new language! - Read the stories many times with your children. The more you read them the more you’ll learn!
