Apple eating and milk drinking must be very popular south of the border.
And fish, mucho pescado.
I have continued with it and know a lot more Spanish than I did eight days ago.
After getting started with it for a few days, I came back to it yesterday (I was bored sitting in a hospital waiting room for several hours and downloaded the app). One of the complaints I had about the website edition was (not seeing) a way to go back and review earlier topics as I was forgetting some of the translation. I played with it a good bit yesterday and again today when the power went out for five hours and I have started to notice a pattern.
It does do a lot of repetition with the same objects, e.g. apples, bread, fish, etc, and the verbs for eat and drink. I think what it is doing is teaching you the tense and grammar in a contextual format so that you pick it up WITHOUT stopping to think about conjugation of the tense (which is how they tried teaching language in school, but one does not put together sentences logically, it's intuitive.
Concepts that initially threw me are now starting to feel more intuitive. For example, "You are and he is" -> Tu eres y el es" (don't have accents on this PC) or the "I drink, you drink, he drinks" -> "Yo bebo, tu bebes, el bebe". Similarly, the restaurant module covers a lot of other grammatical constructs and expands upon the language to include things like with and without, for, and the structure of how romance languages put the adjectives after the noun. Again, it is introducing these things in reputative fashion without explicitly stating what they are doing in an immersive environment. For example, Yo queiro una ensalada de pescado con sal y sin tomate" or "I need a table for three" -> "You necesito una mesa para tres".
I also found it interesting how similar Spanish is to English, at least it seems so (compared to the French I
learned forgot in school, such as a cup of coffee (taza de cafe) versus glass of water, (vaso de agua) in the use of "cup" versus "glass".
Also got a little turned off with the woke bs stuff in the stories
So far I haven't really noticed it, but I haven't gotten all that far in the stories. What I liked about the stories is that you can see how much understanding and context you can pick up even without a full comprehension of the language or knowledge of the translation. For example, the story about the tired woman who couldn't find her car keys, when they were on the table. It had a lot of new words in it, but you could still understand what was being discussed. I imagine this is much like children would experience when they are learning to speak as their grasp of the language is complete and they have a small vocabulary but they learn to understand new things in context.
I thing that is a little awkward is that it has you speak sentences and words, which it records and then analyzes. There have been a few times I mispronounced something and it did say "that wasn't quite correct, try again", but I don't know how good it is compared to speaking with a person. Still, I imagine it is better than nothing and may make you passable.
