Speak English like an American App

This is a nice, interactive application for learning natural American English.  The App consists of 25 lessons, each containing a typical everyday scenario with a written and spoken dialogue between two people. I found the spoken voice to be very clear, at a good pace and with an easy-to-understand American accent. Throughout the text there are useful idioms and expressions which you can click on to get a definition.

Apple has released a new app called Word Lens.  It uses the iPhone’s built in video camera to translated printed words in real-time like signs, menus etc.  The application is free but you have to pay for the specific dictionary of the language you would like.  At the moment, it only has Spanish to English and English to Spanish but they say more are to come, so worth a look out!  http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/word-lens/id383463868?mt=8
