Gritty Spanish 17+

Please keep in mind I’m rating the app not content

I don’t know what did they do but now episodes/lessons take even longer to download. I have updated my iOS so I doubt my phones the problem. Then when it finally downloads, the accompanying PDF doesn’t match the audio. Please fix this.

Otherwise, the content is wonderful. Highly recommend. I actually have all levels except the censored one. I love how the lessons are very entertaining and use everyday conversations. They’re actual conversations you will hear and use. I’m just rating the app. I have several other language learning apps and they have videos and PDFs etc. They don’t take forever to download and whatever topic I download always matches the content. So, this is so odd that this app does this. Por favor arreglarla.

Update: They got back to me and said they will fix it. And apparently not all have this problem. So, if you have tried their free content and it’s working on your device, don’t hesitate to purchase this.

Noteworthy

I recently visited Guadalajara, mexico. It is the second largest city after Mexico City. This is a feat for a person who spoke zero Spanish in 2014. In Guadalajara hardly anyone speaks English. I attribute so much to gritty Spanish because it had taught me many useful phrases and slang for different everyday scenarios/encounters. From riding in a taxi, to being lost, etc. The gritty “Spanish basic finally” episode is an indispensable tool to travel to a Spanish only speaking city. You will learn key words to clue you in because when the locals speak quickly it is very difficult to understand. While the latest version conjures more of a serious tone and less jovial. The slang and humor of precious episodes can be easily incorporated. For example, when venturing out to the party/bar scheme you need “game” to interact, start and hold conversations. This is where gritty is indispensable. All 26 episodes is very useful and will provide enough practice one to travel to Spanish only cities. The senarios are very real and can be used in everyday life. They have increased my vernacular and helped me when in a conundrum for example lost at the airport and looking for hotel shuttle.

El Mejor

Gritty Spanish is a user-friendly and comprehensive App for learning the Spanish language. These short stories put you in real life situations where people from various spanish-speaking countries are using formal and informal words, phrases, and even profanity, to communicate. Real Life Spanish. Gritty Spanish is a terrific way to help train your ear to understand Spanish outside of your spanish class, or away from your slow-talking spanish tutor. I prefer to hear the language in normal speed, which is pretty fast, but Gritty Spanish gives you the option of listening at 30% slower. And now, with the Gritty Spanish App, which I have on my iPad Mini, and iPhone, I can give my ear a workout anytime I want. Plus, after you listen to (and read in Spanish and English) the stories, there are explanations of the words and phrases and grammar rules. As I said—Gritty Spanish is Comprehensive and User-friendly. Buena Suerte, mis Amigos.
