這3款外語學習類APP，老外也喜歡!

　　導語：身體和靈魂總有一個得在路上!在綜合了各種榜單APP排行，并研究市場上不斷推出的新產品之后，整理出了在外語學習中，廣受老外們好評的3款語言學習APP。如果國內的APP你找不到合適的，下面總有一款APP適合你~

　　1. Duolingo(多鄰國)

　　When you try to describe any other learning app how often have you heard the question “is it like Duolingo?” There is no list of best apps that doesn’t mention it.

　　提到學習類的APP，老外總會掛在嘴邊的一句話是“這款應用是像Duolingo那樣的嗎?”所有評選最佳學習類APP的榜單一定會提到多鄰國。

　　Luis von Ahn successfully merged gamification and learning addicting people to languages and producing an app with over 100 million users. The app has become a staple example of mobile language learning.

　　路易斯•馮•安成功地抓住了現代人熱衷學習的心理，把游戲化結合在語言學習中，推出了這款目前用戶已經突破一億的APP。毫不夸張的說，Duolingo已經成為了移動端語言學習的標桿。

　　Many Duolingo courses are created by native speakers themselves which empowers communities and language passionates to get involved and gave rise to perhaps less expected courses such as Guarani or Klingon.

　　多鄰國上的許多課程是由母語者自己制作，然后授權給社區(qū)和語言狂熱者進行學習的。這也給了很多小語種——比如瓜拉尼語和克林貢語機會讓大家知道。

　　Duolingo special to me is that it is not aimed solely at an English native speaker. For each language there are specific courses that aim at those with different first languages, which to date produces 81 courses.

　　多鄰國對我來說比較特別的另一個原因是：它不僅僅只是針對英語母語者的。每種語言對應的都有相應的(可供非母語者學習的)課程。至今已經有81種語言課程了。

　　2. Busuu(博樹)

　　Busuu offers full courses in 12 languages. The app is free but to unlock most of the features and course materials you have to invest $17 a month.

　　Busuu(博樹)提供12門語言的所有課程。這款應用可以免費下載，但是要體驗完整版的功能和課程資源，你需要付費才能解鎖，費用是一個月17美元。

　　The app takes you through learning individual words to simple dialogues and questions about the dialogues all of which include audio where you can listen to native pronunciation.

　　在Busuu，語言學習從單個單詞開始，慢慢過渡到對話、對對話的提問。不管是單詞、對話還是提問，都有對應的母語朗讀音頻供學習者學習。

　　The lessons are organised in topical themes where we learn skills and expressions connected to tasks. Each course also comes with a separate mini “travel course” for those who need to quickly get the basics before a trip abroad—pretty handy!

　　Busuu的每一課對應不同的話題，確保用戶能學習到不同任務場景下的語言表達和交流技能。每個課程配套還有一個單獨的迷你“旅行課程”，提供給那些出國旅游想要快速掌握語言技能的用戶——非常方便!

　　The special aspect of Busuu is that you can engage native speakers in your personal learning process. Busuu learners contribute their native speaking skills to the platform by correcting texts created by those who study their language. The desktop version even allows you to chat to native speakers real time.

　　Busuu的特別之處在于，母語使用者可以參與到你的學習過程中。一部分使用Busuu的學習者把他們母語水平(口語技能)的提升歸功于這個平臺：在這里他們可以批改學習他們母語的人提交的文本。在Busuu的網頁版，你可以跟母語學習者實時對話。

　　Both studying and contributing to the platform as a teacher allows you to collect “berries”, points used to rank students based on their activity. So if you’re one of the points and badges addict, it’s a good place for you!

　　在這個平臺上既可以學習也可以自己當老師。學習和教學的經驗值可以收集“漿果”——參與不同的學習活動可以集點，按點數高低排名。如果你熱衷于集點、獲取勛章，去Busuu吧~~

　　3. Babbel

　　A paid cousin of Duolingo with more free material than busuu?

　　老外們戲稱Babbel是多鄰國的付費升級版“大表哥”，比Busuu擁有更多免費資料~~

　　The free version comes with 40 classes, so even without investing money the app allows you to learn a fair amount of phrases in one of the 13 languages it teaches.

　　免費版的Babbel提供40余堂課，所以，即使不付錢，在Babbel上你也能學習到大量的短語，是任一種語言哦。當然，Babbel也是一款多語種學習的APP，提供13種語言的學習。

　　Each class starts from step-by-step teaching of vocabulary with the aid of pictures. Then the words are being used in related phrases and short dialogues adjusted to the student’s level to help quickly build conversation skills.

　　每節(jié)課從圖片輔助的詞匯教學開始，逐步地進階到相應短語和短對話的學習。當然，為幫助學習者掌握對話技巧，單詞、短語和對話是根據學習者的水平自適應分配的。

　　Handy pop-ups with the app explain most important grammatical points related to the learned material and the desktop version includes short cultural notes.

　　Babbel移動端上的彈窗會對學習材料中的重要語法點進行解釋，網頁版Babbel上還能讀到短小的文化筆記。

　　Apart from the general beginner’s courses Babbel also has separate packages devoted to improving specific skills such as grammar or vocabulary; if you already have some experience with a particular language and know where your weaknesses lie you can focus on improving those chosen skills.

　　Babbel除了提供入門級別的課程，還提供特定的提高型語言技能課程，如語法或詞匯的學習包。如果你已經具有一定的語言水平，知道自己學習的薄弱環(huán)節(jié)，不妨有針對性的選擇提高型課程學習。

　　Babbel’s classes can be downloaded for later offline study and the app will send you convenientreminders so you don’t miss your daily session.

　　和Busuu不同的是，Babbel上的課程支持免費離線下載學習。如果你設定了每日學習計劃，APP端還能收到貼心的提醒~~
