Hello all,
I'm looking for books on beginner's Spanish. I want to see the written words
which I thought Voice Dream might work for. I know there will be accent
marks, but if a text is designed for both text alone or for text and audio
both, this might work. The translater on my iphone is great, because it
pronounces things properly plus allows you to look at the spelling, but it's
not a course of study.
I went to Apple books on my phone but most of the listings seemed to be
audio. I hit on the sample button for several offerings, and nothing read.
When I look at samples of other books, they read just fine, so I'm thinking
these are audio books not texts. I tried to sample flash cards but they too
would not read.
I'm thinking there might be something very obvious I am overlooking,
but it hasn't made itself apparent to me yet!
I've got the Duo Lingo App downloaded which both pronounces things
plus lets you spell them out so that is good, but sometimes it is very slow
and requires some typing input that is more than my hands will allow. I also
don't know how to move from lesson tolesson effortlessly and don't
understand the symbols like Chest, Heart, Sword, etc. I'll be going along
and doing a few lessons one after another then there is the rewards thing
and I'm no longer able to continue where I've left off. It's not clear to
me how to stay inside the lessons and continue to proceed without getting
back to what seems like the opening page.
I have a few books downloaded that I am listening to and that are
good but I'd like to see words printed out so I can lodge them more
permanently in my memory.
I fear if I buy a bunch of lessons on-line that it will be hit or
miss what works best with voice over. On the PC there are lots of courses
offered for money, but I likewise fear it would be hit or miss to find what
will work seamlessly with Jaws or System Access or any other screen reader.
Does anyone have any suggestions of where to turn to to see lessons
written out for learning Spanish?
