English Discover your true talent for languages… The challenges and quizzes contained within this app encourage learners – future international agents – to take advantage of the plentiful opportunities available to practice or learn more about a language beyond a classroom context. By passing through a series of levels you can rise from a lowly agent in training to become a master secret agent. You can compete with friends in achieving challenges, identifying countries and languages and completing quizzes. The challenges go from the easy, such as, “count from 1-10 in 3 different languages within one minute” to ones that are a bit more demanding, “together with a friend, write the words to a song/rap in a foreign language”. Why a secret agent’s language challenges app? - Fun - Interactive - Lots of new features (such as a quiz developed by the European Commission) - No ads, offline mode and totally for free! - Captivating - Available in 20+ languages You can reward yourself after completing each level with a certificate available on EDL website.
