iPhone App Review: Maria’s Spanish Class
January 27th, 2010 by ashleytreb¡Quiero Clase española de Maria!
For all of you gringos out there, Maria’s Spanish Class will be an excellent resource. The application was designed by a native Spanish teacher with years of experience. I am a person who has taken many Spanish classes and was unable to comprehend, but with Maria’s Spanish Class I learned quickly and pretty easily. I would not call my self a fluent Spanish speaker by any means but used common sense and was able to play the fun games and for the most part passed with good grades! The application looks great and responds well and pretty quickly. The sound effects are a bit loud but made the application interesting!

What was Pleasing…
The application was very fun to mess around with. I loved the games and how I really didnt know I was learning while I was playing them. I haven’t used other applications like Maria’s Spanish Class so I cant say how they compare to this one but over all I have nothing to complain about. I love the way the application looks and runs and I enjoyed exploring the Spanish language.
Problems
I didn’t have any problems running the application. While I was reviewing the app there was no crashing and it loads quickly.
