Default Parlu Corsu-iApp to learn Corsican Language

Vous voulez débuter l’apprentissage de la langue corse ?

Vous souhaitez rafraichir vos connaissances en la matière ?


Came across this in my knowledge quest. Seems to be a free app to learn some Corsican. I don't have any iDevices so I have no idea if this is any good, but I would try it if I could.

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/parl...375978800?mt=8

On the French iTunes there is a comment about a bug where it locks up in the casino (?) but someone else commented to just shake your device to roll the dice.

Also, another one aimed at children but who cares, it's Corsu!

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cont...482553578?mt=8

The descriptions say 'anglais' so perhaps they have English in them?

Maybe I need an iPad ???

I've never tried Corsican, and there don't seem to be any good apps for it on the Play Store. But recently I saw a section there on the "Best of the Best" apps of 2013, and one of them is Duolingo. I started using it, you can choose between learning Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian and English. Obviously I started French and I'm sticking with only that one for now, though I'm interested in Portuguese too

It's free, has no ads, and it has awesome reviews, one of them from the Wall Street Journal, and has an average of 4.7 out of 5 stars. In the Basics levels so far, it gives you several exercises like Translate This Sentence, "Nous sommes calmes" and it will give you a word bank "they, calm, We, are" as buttons. Click the correct words in order and then Check to see if you're right. Sometimes it will just be audio and you have to type what you heard. There are other ones where you speak the sentence given into your phone's mic and it checks for pronunciation. Get anything wrong and you "lose a life," at the end of each lesson you get bonus points for completing it with all of them so that's fun. I recommend it, I like it a lot so far.

I'm stuck with the French now and I think at this point nothing justifies learning a French dialect for me. Also today I had the final exam for this semester of my French class. I hope I'll pass it!

I use Duolingo too!(web version not the app) It's so much fun and because it's like a game, doesn't get boring. May wanna add me there. I'm "espi731" there.

I don't think so although the app got updated recently with a new owl while changes to the website are yet to come and also I think the discussions are more promising and engaging in the website.
