APPS FOR LEARNING A NEW LANGUAGE

Duolingo can’t match Rosetta Stone for helping you attain language mastery, but it’s free and offers solid, beginner-level lessons in Spanish, French, Italian, German, or Portuguese. (Android or iOS)
Anki is a flash-card-based memorization app designed to efficiently build long-term memory. You can tailor its language programs by adding your own flash cards. (Free for Android, $25 for iOS)
Waygo excels at “just one thing”: It translates written Chinese or Japanese into English, using a smartphone camera as a scanner. (Free, iOS)
Vocre is one of many translation apps, but it’s “far more fun” than most. When you’re trying to converse with a foreign-language speaker, it translates both sides of the conversation into both audio and text. ($1 for Android, $5 for iOS)
