Spanish BPL
Read full descriptionHide full description
The APP was designed for teaching Spanish at a Beginner Level, with the implementation of the BPL system - Brain Path Language. The BPL® system is based on the study of neuroscience applied to language learning. At the beginning of the APP, you will find the explanation related to the system BPL described in the book called “Neuroscience: The Key to Better Learning” written by Silvia Cubillos Velez (Link del libro neuro), owner of SIF Language School since 2000, in Denver, Colorado USA. She is also the author of the book “Spanish for Beginners” and the creator of the BPL APP. This APP is a complement to the book Spanish for Beginners BPL® system. You can use this APP by itself or with the book in order to improve your Spanish abilities. (GET IT NOW! Link https://siflanguageschool.com/libro-de-espanol-para-principiantes-nivel-1) Learning a language involves the skills of speaking, listening, reading, and writing; all these actions are developed in different parts of the brain. The BPL® system develops memories and connects brain learning centers. This APP will help you with multiple exercises to create neural connections involved in the learning process. Think of learning as a way to create new neural connections, both verbal and auditory, and reading and writing skills. The APP highlights the proper use of SER(TO BE) and provides the user with multiple exercises to gain fluency and practice the conjugations of this essential Spanish verb. It is designed to be an effective tool for assisting the student in forming grammatically correct sentences which will be understood by native speakers. Spanish BPL is free to download.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Reading List at fortnightly against Spanish BPL's every 6 weeks. Spanish BPL's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
