If you already have your reasons for learning a language, your next step will be how to learn that language. One way that you can learn a language is right on your phone. It’s learning made easy, since we all carry our phones around with us anyway. But what makes it different from more traditional learning like classes or textbooks? In this article, we’ll go over all the benefits of language learning apps.

7 Benefits of Language Learning Apps

As you’re deciding on how you want to learn, keep in mind what worked best for you growing up. Do you work best off of strict schedules or when you feel like it? Did you do best on tests when you read out of books or from learning through videos? At MosaLingua, we try to provide learning content that covers all aspects of language learning all right from your phone. Here are some reasons we made our app and why we think language learning apps is the way to go.

Learn Anywhere, Anytime

Personally, I love to study vocabulary on my phone in my bed before I go to sleep. When I travel, I also listen to some Spanish podcasts which makes the time fly by! Obviously, it’s also possible to learn a language with a book, but in my opinion it’s less entertaining than using a language learning app!

Never Waste Time Again

The advantage of a language learning app is that it is always on you.When you’re waiting for a doctor’s appointment or a bus, that time is typically wasted doom scrolling but it could be used for doing something better! In this case, you can use your language learning app to help make that time feel useful and feel more accomplished at the end of your day.

Proceed at Your Own Pace, Without Constraints

Have you ever taken a night class? I have before at the Wall Street Institute, but I found it hard to complete because there were so many constraints. I was required to attend twice a week no matter what, and it ended up just feeling like a chore.

On the other hand, when you can study on your own with a language learning app, you can learn our own pace. No requirements, no pressure. For me, that makes it a lot more fun to learn!

Social Media and Interactivity Makes it More Entertaining

On social media, we have sound, images, and video that make learning more achievable. If there’s a word you don’t know on an Instagram post, you can look at the photo to give you context. If you’re watching a YouTube video, you can follow along with what you’re hearing by seeing what they put on the screen. And if you’re listening to a podcast, you can repeat after them to improve your pronunciation.

And in any of these places, you can add comments and almost immediately get feedback (whether that feedback will be kind or not is a different discussion).

It’s Fun!

Yes, it’s possible to learn while having fun. Especially nowadays, there are so many ways to learn and interact that you can customize your learning experience to what works best for you. And like I said before, that keeps language learning from feeling like a chore and makes it into something you can look forward to.

It’s Much More Motivating

Since learning has been made fun and easily available to use, you should also have an easier time staying motivated to learn. On top of that, language learning apps like MosaLingua have tracking abilities to show you how much you’ve learned and how much you’ve memorized over time. If you can see your progress, then you can see how much you have to be proud of, and that will make continued learning that much easier!
