This is going to be my last post about my Genius Hour! I have enjoyed my time re-learning French and learning basic literacy skills for Spanish.

This is me trying hard with French:

   -Fuel Your Vocab: Food
   -What Do You Like?
   -Where In The Universe?
   -Fuel Your Vocab: 10, 9, 8...
I spent many hours into these apps! The popular vote would be DuoLingo; it is the app that is well known and honestly it does the job. Honestly if Babbel provided more to the free users I would pick it over DuoLingo! For that reason I am ordering the apps as the following:

1. DuoLingo
2. Memrise
3. Babbel

Babbel left way too much behind a paywall! If I'm paying to see what it has to offer, I would rather pay for other apps such as Rosetta Stone. Memrise was too confusing to understand at first, which is why it came second! It is a good app and does repetition better than DuoLingo. DuoLingo's simple interface and content it provides to free users is the best around, and that is why is is number one in my opinion.

As mentioned in the videos, the apps were extremely helpful but failed to help with understanding the rules around the languages! I would recommend these apps to anyone that wants to learn a language! i would also recommend that people find other resources to learn a language.

I hope you have all enjoyed my journey!
