I’m a strong believer that learning different languages makes you look incredibly good when you’re in a foreign country and can understand and speak the language. The list below is 4 apps that will help you learn a foreign language! You can download them for free.
Babbel – Learn Languages
Babbel is an excellent language tool to help you progress step by step with learning a new language. It helps you learn grammar along the way as you work your way through the tasks and assignments. The downside is that for full access to everything you need to pay a monthly subscription, but this will still be cheaper than taking physical lessons with a tutor!
Duolingo: Learn Languages Free
The app has many languages to choose from and will work through the basics all the way to advanced words and sentences. It’s all completely free too! It’s incredibly well designed, looks great and will help you learn, remember and progress with just a little bit of time every day.
Tandem: Language Exchange
Rather than have you work through tasks and memorize different things, the app lets you match with people who share your interests but speak the language you want to learn. You can then have text, voice and video conversations with people who want to learn your native language, and in return you learn theirs, all by simply communicating with each other. It’s a great way to learn with only $1 a day.
Learn English – busuu
This app is perfect if you want to learn English. There are all sorts of audio(聲音的) and visual learning aids. You’ll find yourself working through interactive tests and learning tools for vocabulary and dialogue.

【1題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Tandem：Language Exchange中“You can then have text，voice and video conversations with people who want to learn your native language, and in return you learn theirs，all by simply communicating with each other.( 然后，你可以與那些想要學(xué)習(xí)你的母語的人進(jìn)行文本、語音和視頻對話，作為回報，你也可以學(xué)習(xí)他們的母語，所有這一切都只需要彼此交流)”可知，Tandem應(yīng)用程序可以通過交流來學(xué)習(xí)語言，所以如果你想通過交流來學(xué)習(xí)語言，Tandem應(yīng)用程序最適合你。故選Ｃ。
【2題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Duolingo：Learn Languages for Free中“It’s all completely free too! (它也是完全免費(fèi)的!)”可知，Duolingo應(yīng)用程序不同于其它三個應(yīng)用程序之處在于，Duolingo完全免費(fèi)使用。故選A。
