It is well known that the return of the holidays, as well as the New Year or more, time to make good resolutions, among which we never lack to improve our knowledge of English or learn some other language. Well, perhaps this year before signing up for a course, or a complement to that one, you want to at least try to study on your own with the help of an application for your tablet, because the truth is that there are no shortage of good options And, to the comfort that this form of learning can bring, the advantage is added that it can even be completely free. We review the best apps that you have at your disposal both in the App Store and in Google Play.
Duolingo
We start with the most popular of them all, an app that is unanimously praised by both experts and users alike, and it certainly can't be said that it doesn't deserve them: the learning system is designed to be pleasant and that we practice without costing us an excessive effort, in addition to being completely free And, despite the obvious limitations of the format, the truth is that it is quite effective. We can choose between English, French, Italian and Portuguese. If you have trouble deciding which application to use, Duolingo it is without a doubt a safe bet.
Memrise
With Memrise we already enter the territory of free applications but with in-app purchases integrated, although we can still get a lot of benefit from it before without having to pay anything. In this case, the emphasis is a little less on making learning enjoyable, as on making it effective, seeking that we learn up to 44 new words in a one-hour session, thanks to an exclusive method.

Learn 50 languages
Learn 50 languages It is perhaps not the application with the most fun or the best developed learning system, but it is one of the applications that gives us access to more shape content Delivery to Italy takes one or two business days And even if when we run out of lessons we still want to move forward and decide to pay to unlock more content, it will be much cheaper than with other applications. The variety of languages available is also quite wide and covers practically all the languages spoken in Europe.
Learn Chinese Mandarin Free
We end up adding to our top 5 a very special and very specific option, since it is aimed exclusively at those who may be interested in learning Chinese. Its potential audience, therefore, may not be very wide, but it does not stop growing, and it is worth mentioning since it is an application completely Delivery to Italy takes one or two business days and very effective, considering the complexity of the lens. Its own developers acknowledge having been totally inspired by Duolingo , which allows us to get a good idea of what to expect in terms of the learning system.
