Reviews

The newly revamped 2008 editions of the Quickstart language-learning system from BBC Active not only do audio translations on an iPod or iPhone, they also display translations textually on the iPod/iPhone’s screen. Need to ask a non-English-speaking taxi driver for a place to eat in Lisbon? Quickstart will show and tell you how. PC Today

The apps are ... in a narrative of 14 episodes of a weekend away with three friends ... guiding the user through the usual tourist experiences such as finding your way around a new city or ordering food at a restaurant. Quickstart uses the iPhone's functionality a lot better than many language apps – when playing the audio of the friends' conversations, you can choose to have subtitles of the English translation or not; another useful feature is you can record yourself speaking the phrases and play it back to compare against audio of the native speaker. The flashcard quiz is fun, and the entire app feels like good value for money. The Bookseller
