| 1294667 | 2012-08-14 01:01:00 | Hi, I know this may be a pro Android forum :D But I am wanting some neutral view on (free) app support. I am trying to learn another language and someone showed me their iPad, it has audio/visual teaches you how to write as well and the pronunciation. Various other quizes/games also. Probably targeted for a 4yr old but it suits my level, lol. For those type of apps how is the Androids like? Is it on the same quality level ie., polished level? | Nomad (952) | ||
| 1294668 | 2012-08-14 01:18:00 | Wouldn't surprise me if it was :) It's a relatively open-ended question though... and you've also not mentioned which language you're trying to learn. For example: play.google.com play.google.com play.google.com play.google.com There's a gold mine of apps out there to say the least! :) Just go through play.google.com and see if you can find something that tickles your fancy. |

| 1294669 | 2012-08-14 01:22:00 | I've found them both to be pretty good. With android you just have to spend more time looking through the play store to find good apps than you do on IOS. | Nick G (16709) | ||
| 1294670 | 2012-08-14 01:38:00 | Most of the quality apps are available on both platforms. Google Play also has a higher number of lower-quality apps, in addition to the quality stuff, which is both good and bad. | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 1294671 | 2012-08-14 02:33:00 | Ok, mandarin chinese and maybe japanese. Maybe less in tourist phrases but more in the proper learning of a language. Putting hardware specs aside, just from a consumer device point of view. |

| 1294672 | 2012-08-14 03:15:00 | Can't recommend the Nexus 7 highly enough! As for a high end phone, have a look at the Galaxy Nexus, HTC One X and the Galaxy S3. Find one that takes your fancy and roll with it :) |

| 1294673 | 2012-08-14 04:00:00 | Google has just added a foreign language update (http://googletranslate.blogspot.co.nz/) (Google's blog) using OCR. It uses the camera, then brush over the text to translate. | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
| 1294674 | 2012-08-14 04:49:00 | Looking for a Pad than a Phone :) A phone would be too fiddly sitting there for an hour or so learning ... Not looking for a handy tool or a tourist pal. More to actually learn how to write and speak. |
