Word Up - a great way to practise some German

About two months ago I told you about the new app from FlashSticks and only a short while later they’ve come up with something else – a free smartphone app (Android and iPhone) called Word Up When they told me about it they warned me “Word Up challenges your brain to recall and spell thousands of new words. It’s highly addictive too!” As you know I love trying out free things, so I downloaded the…

Learn German with FlashAcademy - a review

Learn German with FlashAcademy – a review

When I went to the Language Show three years ago I came across this new company FlashSticks. I was so impressed with their product that I wrote a blog post about it.  At the same time I did wonder what else they would be able to sell. I mean, there is only so much you can write on a post-it note. So I’ve been following their success and when they announced a new app I have been nagging them to…

Flashsticks' Object Scanner

Hey all! So, if any of you remember, back in the day we announced that Flashsticks are making Icelandic Flashsticks! While this project is on hold, they have released a sick new app with a sick thing called an object scanner; you take a picture of an object, and Flashsticks' object scanner will translate for you. This is revolutionary; neither one of us had event seen--or heard--of this before, and it's an amazing idea! (Though, to be honest, the entire Flashsticks company idea is just genius.) But this is where we come in; the object scanner can be translated into Icelandic! Our review is below the line, and if you want to check out Flashsticks' app, click here (and here for android users) :). And it’s free!

So, the object scanner is actually a really, really cool idea. Basically, you open the app and press the green “scan object” button. Then, you find something you want to translate (let’s say, a glass of a water) and you take a picture of it, press “go” (and no, the picture doesn’t save to your camera roll), and Flashstick scans it for you in a surprising amount of detail. Finally, you pick the language you want to translate it into (for the hell of it, let’s say Icelandic), press the Icelandic option (that has a cute little Icelandic flag next to it), and voila! It’s been translated!  And here are some pros and cons....

Pro’s: 

It’s a revolutionary idea. And while I’ve mentioned this like five times, it really is an important factor. I mean, Jeez, how cool is that?! I could take a picture of a book and learn the word for it, instantly!

It’s simple, and easy to use. 

There are so many languages offered, all with such a variety! (Even languages as “small” as Icelandic!)

If you have any problems, the staff is easy to contact (and is super duper friendly!!). You can look up their email here, on the Flashsticks website.

Con’s: 

The one con I have is barely even a con, but is the usual con for most online language translators: 

It’s not 100000% accurate*

*in Icelandic.

But it isn’t 1000% accurate right now. Plus, it’s only just been released. I’m 1000% positive that this app will develop to become more accurate in Icelandic  very soon, especially now that this post has brought light to it ;). I mean, of course there are some issues; the app’s only just been released, right? But as I’ve said before, this problem can (and will) be fixed really soon, and isn’t that major. 

Overall review: 

Get the app (and the translator!) I’m super serious when I say this. There are games to play to practice your Flashsticks, there’s the really cool translator, and in the end, Flashsticks is definitely the perfect company to get behind. They’re cool, and their products bring innovation to the world of online translation and language learning. I can definitely see them getting big, and when you try their stuff, you will, too! 

PS. Yes, we’re working with Flashsticks, but everything I’ve said is honest and is something I would stand behind for a million years or something. They really rock.

FRÉTTIR: Flashsticks!

Recently, we have been in contact with the wonderful company called Flashsticks. But, what have we been saying? What are Flashsticks? And most importantly, what does this blog have to do with them?

Flashsticks are half post-it note, and half flashcard. They’re these cute little sticky notes that you can stick virtually anywhere (on your dog, on your door, on your wall, you name it!) that can help you learn vocabulary in your target language. The words are color-coded: pink for feminine nouns, blue for masculine nouns, yellow for neutral nouns, and green for other words, such as verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. But the next thing I’m about to say is even better… 

They have an app, to also help you learn! Basically, you find your dog (with hundur on it, right?;) ) and you scan the Flashstick for “dog” on their app. Next thing you know, a tutor on your phone pops up and says the [Icelandic] word for dog twice, along with the English translation. You can scan as many words as you want, and the app is still free! Isn’t that great? But what does that have to do with Íslenska Fyrir Alla, or Icelandic in general? Well…

Flashsticks is releasing Icelandic FlashSticks! We are both so excited to have been working with the company, partially because they are so nice to work with, but also because, wow! Finally, more accurate Icelandic resources! We were thrilled to have them say that they would consider Icelandic, and now, well, it’s happening! :) 

But, there will definitely be some time before they are released in Icelandic. We still have a little work to do, and of course, the Flashsticks still have to be published, right? So what a better time than now to purchase a pack of Flashsticks than now, for while you wait? Then, when you get your pack of Icelandic Flashsticks, you’ll have a collection started! 

Their website is here, where you can buy affordable Flashsticks today! When you do, let us know :).

#FlashSticksFriday - Review - aka my first ever video woooooh #ItsNotThatExciting #LanguageLearning

My first ever review, yay!

So at the beginning of January, someone from the company FlashSticks contacted me and asked me what I knew about their product and said they’d seen my blog and would I be interested in writing a review for them? I said that I had briefly seen something about them on Pinterest and that yes I would – and here is that review for you now.

What I said I would do for them was…
