mindsnacks

I am always interested in learing a new language and brushing up on those I know too.

I read somewhere that Mindsnacks was a great app.

So, I uploaded Mindsnacks French for free, it comes with a free lesson, but for $4.99 + tax you can receive all 50 lessons, so I bought it.

Then, they went and had a sale on all their language apps for a one time price of $17.99 + tax...so I got all the ones on sale.

The lessons are in the form of games, most resemble flash cards, but it does keep your mind active and challenged.

So far, I've worked through French and am working through Japanese.

I've also tried a lesson in Mandarin and it is killer!

If you try them, let me know what you think.

You may or may not have noticed this little widget in the side bar of this blog. 

I actually found out about the Word of the Day (WOTD) from Carol's blog. 

I then signed up for their French Word of the Day to be sent to my RSS reader. (Thanks!) 

Then Rowena, gave me the heads-up that the company had added Japanese! so I quickly added it to the side bar. (Thanks!) 

If you want to learn a new language (but maybe not ready to pay for lessons), this is a great way. They have many other languages, so check them out!

UPDATE: it is no longer a free site.
