There is an App called PenguinTwit which can translate all tweets in the list with just one tap , and show 2 languages of tweets side by side in landscape mode. http://itunes.apple.com/hk/app/penguintwit/id433369290?mt=8 Translate Tweets from English to Spanish or vice versa. It's so handy. I don’t know about others, but I found that a great way to learn Spanish is to read twitter post of famous Latino/Spanish celebrities.

It is more for building a bigger vocabulary then for phrases. It uses images and audio to help you learn the words and has 3 different modes to study(Image Flash Cards, Image Quiz, Text Quiz).

I got Maria's Spanish Class Lite first and really found it to be very useful. I tried a few others but always found problems like crashes or just oversimplicity but this one is really comprehensive and should keep me going for some time. The website is at http://www.pigobo.com and the app store link is http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/marias-spanish-class/id345599590?mt=8 The best app I have found so far is called Maria’s Spanish Class.

In the U.S. iTunes store there are 34 reviews with the average being a 3-star rating. Not great, I know, but when I checked the ratings of other language-learning apps for Spanish I couldn't find any with an overall 5-star rating. I have a feeling that people's needs and desires in a language-learning app may be highly personal/subjective and the apps creators have taken too much of a one-size fits all approach instead of refining the app for specific levels of learning. In any case, check out this piece for some other iPhone apps, all of them free: http://bit.ly/2DuSd Regarding a listing/ranking of Spanish podcasts, I've never seen a good comprehensive list. Maybe that's something I should work on? ;) Saludos, Eleena Hi Xabia,

Savvy iPhone users expect better than that. Is there a similar list for podcasts? MyWordsSpanish: £5.99 for an Ap with only 1 review, and a bad review at that!
