* THE SCIENCE BEHIND MINDSNACKS *
At MindSnacks we like to keep it fun, but we’re serious about learning. That’s why our French app includes 9 challenging games designed by Ivy League professors. Each game teaches a specific aspect of the language, creating a well-rounded learning experience for both kids and adults that goes far beyond basic vocabulary flashcards.
Of course studying is only worth if it works, so our unique algorithm reinforces the learning process using proven methods from the field of memory studies. Over time, the games adapt to your individual performance, selectively repeating French words, phrases and grammatical points with which you’ve previously struggled. In other words, as you learn French, the app learns about you for a more effective learning experience.
Perfect for beginning and intermediate learners, MindSnacks is like a helpful new French teacher that fits right in your purse, pocket or ever-fashionable fanny pack. You’ll soon spend less time looking at that French dictionary, which means you’ll have more time on that French vacation to gaze up at the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe.
