Day-to-day, our lives seem to revolve around the technology that we have available to us, from smartphones to laptops, social media and even transport. But as technology develops we’re finding more and more useful things to do with it. Here are our four picks for apps that will change everything:
Memrise: Most people who attempt to learn a new language often give up, claiming it’s “too difficult,” now though, there should be no excuses.
Memrise has a range of languages that you can learn, and has many techniques to help you with pronunciation, reading and writing. From flashcards and handy little ways of memorising words via word/picture association, to timed reviews which put you under pressure and really keep you on your toes.
This fantastic little app allows you to learn a new language easily, even in your busy life, so download it now and kick off the New Year by learning a new language!
Lumosity: In our lives, we often do things, mostly unintentionally that can be detrimental to our memory, thought processes and IQ.
With over 70 million users already, Lumosity is labelled as a “cognitive science app” designed to exercise the user’s mental muscles and memory capabilities by “transforming science into delightful games.”
It’s easy to setup, and with a simple interface, you can customise the mental aspects that you’d like to improve on and train. Lumosity creates your very own customised daily routine where the games are tailored to the skills that you want to test and expand.
