Wordaboo teaches a language the way you would actually learn one: a few minutes at a time, with pictures instead of translations, every word spoken aloud β€” and grammar explained in terms of the language you already speak. GRAMMAR EXPLAINED IN YOUR OWN LANGUAGE Most apps write one explanation and translate it into forty languages. Wordaboo writes a different one for every pair, because what confuses you depends on what you already speak.
