Did you know that you may be wasting a huge portion of your time learning Spanish due to inefficient learning methods? Let me tell you how you can learn FASTER.
It’s all about a new technique called Intelligent Cumulative Exposure. As much as we’d like to think that we can improve our Spanish by watching movies or just being dumped in the right country, our brains are proven to best absorb new language concepts one-at-a-time, in small increments. And I don’t mean just learning word lists one-at-a-time. I mean building your actual sentence-forming skills from the ground up.
Why Brainscape Spanish Works
Intelligent Cumulative Exposure (ICE) is the system of introducing concepts incrementally, at gradually increasing difficulty, in the context of REAL sentences, while repeating the tough concepts in the right intervals of time based on YOUR confidence levels. ICE is also a method that explains grammatical nuances in PLAIN ENGLISH rather than hoping you just “figure them out” through immersion.
There's no reason you should be hearing totally unfamiliar strings of gibberish fly in one ear and out the other. You should be building yourself up by scaffolding one concept at a time.
The problem is that there are currently NO apps on the market that apply the simple ICE method. Creating a comprehensive curriculum based on Intelligent Cumulative Exposure takes WORK, and most app developers are more concerned with flashy software than with actual learning sciences.
UNTIL NOW.
Brainscape’s learning scientists from Columbia and Yale Universities have spent the past THREE YEARS developing a complete, scientifically optimized Spanish curriculum tailored specifically for the mobile environment. In the process, we have created the first web and mobile app based around Intelligent Cumulative Exposure. Check out our 40-page white paper on our website, explaining the cognitive science behind why this works.

- A carefully tailored curriculum that builds on previous concepts and guides you from beginner to conversational at your own pace

2012-08-06I am starting spanish this fall at college, and wanted to get a jump start on learning. Call me an over achiever if you may, but I enjoy being a little ahead of the rest of the class. This app does it! It is nothing but flash cards, but it is organized in a way that you build upo
2012-07-30I too smoke all day and have taken Spanish classes before. This app is great! Simple and effective!
2012-07-19The grammar builder portion is truly great and in conjunction with other methods produces good results. However, the card rotation algorithm is quite bad. If your lowest ranked category has few items they will be thrown at you over and over again. This means you have to work a
