I have learned numerous words in a few hours. The games are generally fun. The association between clear pictures (not "What does this picture show?" like I have seen with some other apps) and words makes it easy to learn. <br/><br/>There is also a feature that allows the user to slow down the pronunciation of the Slovak words, which is extremely helpful. Also, each word is pronounced twice - by a woman and by a man. I find this very helpful in hearing two different vocal ranges say the same word. <br/><br/>What I don't like is the "hard game" that is based on memorizing the pictures shown and then remembering them when the words are called afterwards (like playing memory while learning a new language). I find this to be the least helpful game as I am usually trying to memorize the pictures in English and then remember them when the Slovak words are called afterwards. <br/><br/>I would like to see more words and some games that require me to recall the Slovak word on my own and eventually to spell it. It is great that I can recognize many words, but there is a difference between being able to recognize the word and to be able to recall it when I need it.
Great app this makes learning easy and accesible when ever you need it!
This is by far the best English->Slovak teaching app that I've found, and I've tried most of them since I'm dating a Slovak woman now. :) I just wish there were more words and phrases included. There are some common phrases/questions that aren't in there, like "how are you doing today?", "you look pretty", or "I love you". There are a bunch of dictionaries and translation apps, but I would much rather learn by using an app like this.
I already speak fairly good Slovak and was looking for an app to improve my grammar and increase my vocabulary. For 10 bucks I expected a whole lot more out of this app but found it's very limited and only good for someone learning first words. I really wish I could get that money back.
This ap has clear photos, and nice variety in the games and levels. I need more basic vocabulary and phrases, though. Keep adding more words!
