Sorry I didn't reply earlier ... life got in the way. I find these apps twee, patronising, and they ignore the strengths that an adult potentially has. Adults don't acquire languages like infants do, adults already have language structures, conscious motivations, and an ability to think and reason. I agree that it's about (a) structure, and (b) vocabulary. Rapid acquisition of relevant vocab in parallel with acquisition of simple and elementary example sentence structures is something they don't really do. Please, if you're interested, email me and I will happily tell you my ideas. I can't contact you because you don't have your contact details in your profile.
