SpanishDictionary.com Learning Reviews

by Kdove98

SpanishDictionarycomLearning seems well laid out but one major drawback is not being able to save words or phrases to your list in the actual definition page of the word. So if you see a word you want to learn and you want to add it to your list for later viewing, say the word of the day, you have to go all the way to another screen and type the word in just to find it AGAIN. But considering this is a word in a different language that you’ve just seen for the first time ever, trying to remember the spelling and the word itself isn’t easy. What’s the point in making people exit the definition page of a word to head to another screen just to RETYPE the word in to find it again so you can add it to your list? That’s so impractical, especially in a language learning app. In every other app I have there’s a button on the screen that lets you save the word to your list while you’re viewing the definition for the first time. To have such a small but necessary feature overlooked is clunky and difficult to ignore.

I’ve been using SpanishDictionarycomLearning for almost two years and it’s has been a great source of reference for me especially when I need to write something formally in Spanish or refer to a conjugation of a word. My only complaint would be that recently, random ads keep popping up and play videos without me touching the ad. The ads typically appear as a banner which can be clicked, on either the top or bottom of the page, however, I have never seen them in the form of a pop-up that you have to manually exit out of. I am aware that there is an add free version for $2.99/year and I’m willing to make the upgrade, but I would like to be assured that the issue I’ve been recently experiencing with the ads isn’t just a temporary bug. I can tolerate the ads which appear on the bottom and top of the page as banners, but pop up ads are intolerable. Please resolve this issue if it is a bug. I’m expecting a response from the developer so that I may continue to enjoy the features of SpanishDictionarycomLearning. Thank you!

SpanishDictionarycomLearning itself is amazing to use, and just like other dictionaries, it gives you the pronunciation and various definitions. Unlike other dictionaries, though, it allows you to listen to the differences in English and Spanish (when the words are exactly the same, like karaoke) and gives you multiple ways to conjugate and use the word, especially if it is featured in a common phrase. What would make it better would be if, like the website of SpanishDictionarycomLearning, it included a short video of a native Spanish speaker repeating it and using it in a sentence, and more slang from other countries. You could make the argument that since it's a dictionary, it should only use real words from different Latino countries, but it would also be useful to know what someone else said when they speak informally. Plus, it would be interesting to know!
I've been trying to better my Spanish for some time, and SpanishDictionarycomLearning is extremely useful to me whenever I tend to forget something, not know something, or confuse one thing for something else. Would recommend it for anyone who wants to have anything to do with Spanish!

Also a tip for other users: if you don't find something on SpanishDictionarycomLearning , chances are it's on their website.

SpanishDict has been my favorite general-purpose English to Spanish or Spanish to English dictionary for years.

Wiktionary is better for very low frequency words, and Wiktionary is also better in that it provides etymology, but SpanishDict is where I check first if I simply don't know a word.

Wikipedia and then toggling between languages is best for technical jargon.

SpanishDict provides good definitions, examples, and then a large volume of reference translations from sources like the United Nations.

I don't mind the ads.

In the past few weeks, using the SpanishDict app (but not the website) has become rather annoying. There are a lot of pop-ups about features I am not trying to use right now, and it loses my place if I switch between apps (often between SpanishDict and Safari). Not every time, maybe it happens after 60 seconds or something.

It was clearly worth 5 stars a few months ago. Please address the pop-up suggestions and save the last entry I was viewing.

Thank you, Curiosity Media.

I’ve been walking the Camino de Santiago for a few weeks now and SpanishDict is a necessity.

I have a very limited Spanish vocabulary. I found myself in Leon today with a very specific hiking injury and I needed new shoes ASAP. I navigated myself to the best running store around and was able to use SpanishDictionarycomLearning with the store owner who spoke no English to talk through my Metatarsophalangeal issues, my feet, my pronation, and my specific athletic needs with no friction. SpanishDictionarycomLearning was so fast and so accurate. He was able to get all of the information he needed to help me and use SpanishDictionarycomLearning to communicate back. I ended up buying a pair of shoes that immediately helped me, so it was a win for both of us. Thank you SpanishDict!

If you are learning Spanish, I recommend this dictionary, whether you are a beginner or advanced. If you are a native, I also recommend this dictionary. Unlike Google Translate and other translating apps, SpanishDict avoids literal, fundamentalist translations that are often awkward or inaccurate. It also highlights all the different senses of a particular word, with enlightening examples that are always accurate (although some extra caption translations are sometimes inaccurate). Overall, it’s great, even when free. The lite version’s ads are never overwhelming, and there are many well-designed quizzes that really sharpen your vocabulary and conjugating skills. There are even full conjugation charts that come with practically every verb that you search up. IMO, the only thing that would make SpanishDictionarycomLearning better is if we can have an etymology feature. Not for every word, of course, but for the main ones. That would be amazing, although it isn’t really necessary to learn the language. Overall, es increíble.

by Yelaheener

This is my go-to app for all Spanish language info! The translations are far more accurate than other translators because you can compare three different translations and what words each uses. PLUS you can look up conjugation for any verb in any tense, which is extremely helpful, AND notes about various topics and full detailed examples about how words and phrases are used.

The only complaint/or improvement I would like to see is an option to quickly reverse the translation like other apps do so it’s easy to see if the Spanish then translates back into English properly. That’s how I double check all my translations!

And I wish there was an offline version for traveling!

Every day, I am more and more impressed with SpanishDictionarycomLearning. It has been a godsend as a Spanish learner. It has everything in one. I no longer need to have a separate flash cards app to remember terms. Plus I can use any of the pre-made flashcard decks to study. I no longer need a separate conjugation app because there are quizzes within SpanishDictionarycomLearning for conjugations. Plus I love the daily Spanish word feature which I have on the home screen of my iPhone. My only suggestion would be to include the countries that use that vocab term on the flashcard (since certain terms vary by country, ie. bus driver). That’s such a minimal thing though. I truly could not recommend SpanishDictionarycomLearning more. I’d give it 10 stars if I could.

by CoruscantII

My language setting is learning Spanish from English as a first language. Right now in SpanishDictionarycomLearning , to practice words it has the English word and a pic and then 4 Spanish choices underneath. It would help to also have an alternative option to practice the Spanish words and 4 English choices. I think you can just do this if you switch your language setting to learn English instead of learning Spanish, but I still can’t copy my word lists over. If learning words both ways was available for people learning either language I think it would help a lot to mix it up so it’s not always the same thing.

Zooming in on the articles in SpanishDictionarycomLearning about diff topics is messed up.

by Knitter09

SpanishDictionarycomLearning has helped me learn a lot and was recommended to me by my neighbor. I like that you can add words to a favorite list for a quick reference and there’s also a word game.

I do wish, however, that the word of the day would always have a translation in SpanishDictionarycomLearning . I receive their emails and have noticed that any word of the day that doesn’t have a translation in SpanishDictionarycomLearning is slang in a specific country. It would be nice if they could integrate that information into SpanishDictionarycomLearning instead of just in the email.

Example: August 3, 2018 word of the day was “Qué xopá” and did not show a translation in SpanishDictionarycomLearning . I didn’t realize until later when I saw the email which explained that this phrase comes from Panama and translates to “What’s up?”

by Aztek98

to have a look in depth at various meanings of individual words I Leo español, que es mi idioma segundo, con facilidad. Pero cuando encuentro una palabra que es nueva a mi, SpanishDict en my iPhone es mi primero recurso para aprenderla. La aplicación es excelente y fácil de usar. En inglés, I read Spanish, which is my second language, with ease. But when I encounter a new word, SpanishDict it frequently whenever I find myself uncertain in any way regarding a new word, and especially if a word I have seen is being used in a new way.

There are many other interesting and valuable tools worth examining yourself, but the fact that it gives. ALL translations of each word, from not one but three authoritative Spanish-English bidirectional dictionaries is what really makes it about as useful a language app as you could hope for.

I knew SpanishDictionarycomLearning was great when I got it. But in truth SpanishDictionarycomLearning is FREAKING AWESOME!!!! I normally don’t write reviews unless I really have something that needs to be said. And SpanishDictionarycomLearning is by far THE BEST RESOURCE for learning Spanish. Ever. PERIOD!!! Lo mejor aplicación para aprender español! SpanishDictionarycomLearning allows to to TRANSLATE....CONJUGATE....LEARN GRAMMAR....VOCABULARY...and tons of it! And I recently discovered that they feature the 1000 most used words for the elementary, intermediate and advanced levels with VOICE RECOGNITION! SpanishDictionarycomLearning is just the best and is TOTALLY dedicated to having you learn spanish. I can see that now! I would recommend SpanishDictionarycomLearning in a heartbeat to anyone who is learning Spanish. Heck, even quicker than a heartbeat! Great app! Great Functions! Great Developers!

Love it! LOVE IT! LOOOVEEEE IT!

by Mitshuu

This is, by far, one of the best apps I’ve used in my life in general, but more specifically it is a fantastic dictionary that informs better than others, simply because they have example sentences that finish the work that definitions and translations can’t by themselves. Seeing a word in context is the greatest strength of SpanishDictionarycomLearning. The picture of the day of different places in the Hispano sphere are all beautiful and the word of the day is always an off-the-beaten path choice compared to other word of the days that I have followed. And they are often seasonally relevant, too. And finally, it has a very informative grammar section which again, illustrates well through examples. It is my first go-to for anything I want to know about Spanish. I use it almost daily

by Jesika Sunshine

Great app to use while learning Spanish! Has quiz’s you can take, gives you full translations of any sentence you type in and will repeat it back to you in Spanish so you see it written and hear it too. Very, very helpful! SpanishDictionarycomLearning has helped me improve my Spanish reading, writing and verbal exponentially!

I am a hands on learner, SpanishDictionarycomLearning helps me to do just that while I am having real conversations with my Spanish friends. I type in what I want to say and it translates it for me and lets me hear it as well so I can learn to listen to my Spanish speaking friends better and pick out the words they are saying. Most Latin people speak very quickly so ‘listening’ is often challenging.

Get it, use it, learn and have fun! Then go travel a lot and make lots of friends so you can practice your Spanish speaking and writing.

I've been travelling in Costa Rica for the past 3 weeks and SpanishDictionarycomLearning has been indispensible while communicating with taxi drivers, waitresses, bus drivers and especially when asking for directions or assistance.

It doesn't offer the Spanish to English translation that Google translate does, but it seems to do a better job translating English to (Costa Rican) Spanish. When I have the luxury of translating my questions ahead of time it really shines. It also has a very well organized sub menu of common phrases related to things like Time, Numbers, Colors, and common tourist questions like "what time does the bus arrive" or "where is the nearest restroom". It is geared toward someone trying to learn Spanish, as opposed to facilitating communication without having to learn like Google translate. I use both applications together and find that both are equally powerful tools in my quest to communicate here.

This format of dictionary should be the model by which all other language dictionaries are developed. The conjugation and pronunciations of the words by native speakers is an invaluable aid if you aspire to be fluent in this language after a "do it yourself" sort of fashion. I have 100% confidence that I'm learning words precisely enough to speak them when they are demonstrated by a native speaker. A lot of these other apps simply use monotone robots that leave me feeling doubtful about my pronouncing of a word. The related website is also very helpful with its various articles and quizzes. I probably would not have the grasp I have today on this language without this amazing app. I am also always seeing new enhancements all the time. SpanishDictionarycomLearning makes Spanish easily learnable. Also I can't thank these developers enough, SpanishDictionarycomLearning is a true gift of knowledge, I have essentially learned Spanish for free!

Forget google translate - SpanishDict is an amazing app that has saved my life on countless occasions. I am a student learning Spanish and you have no idea how useful it has been. SpanishDictionarycomLearning itself is very well run, and features beautiful photographs of places around the world every day. It has a very nice search option, where you can enter any word in either Spanish or English and it will seamlessly give you a definition. The definition pages look very good and often include verb conjugation. SpanishDictionarycomLearning even has a word of the day, so you can slowly expand your vocabulary. It would also work very well if you were visiting somewhere else or were in a situation where you needed to know Spanish, because SpanishDictionarycomLearning allows you to type in whole sentences which will be perfectly translated for you. Overall, SpanishDict is a beautiful, aesthetically pleasing, functional app, one which you should definitely download.

This review is really based mainly on my use of the website, which is wonderfully comprehensive, offering organized, coordinated ways to build vocabulary; complete information about verb conjugation; and a rich library of tutorials on a range of subjects related to grammar and usage. SpanishDictionarycomLearning seems to have all of the same terrific features – I just am new to SpanishDictionarycomLearning , whereas I have been using the website for months. Voice-based vocabulary flashcards is one really cool feature of SpanishDictionarycomLearning that even the website doesn’t have:In sum, I strongly recommend both SpanishDictionarycomLearning and the website. Also, although I am cheap and held off for many weeks, I finally bit the bullet and bought the premium membership, which is really pretty modestly priced for what you get and incredibly worth it (for me, at least) just in order to have an ad-free experience with these great resources.

I've tried several Spanish-English dictionaries, and this is the best I've seen. When connected to the internet, it will translate whole sentences. It will show one translation, and then if you click the "other translations" button, you get three other possible translations, so you can have confidence that you're saying what you think you're saying. When not connected to the internet, it still does a great job of translating individual words. It gives plenty of example sentences in both languages for various uses. Another feature I like is that once you set up your preferred languages, you don't have to tell it which language you you are translating from or to. If I type in a Spanish word, phrase, or sentence, it gives me an English translation. If I type in an English word, phrase, or sentence, it gives me a Spanish translation, without me having to remember to switch modes. Love SpanishDictionarycomLearning.

I don’t usually review apps. But gosh. This is the best app for translating words. It’s more like a dictionary in the sense it gives you translations word for word instead of a translation for a whole sentence But it has everything at your fingure tips. It even gives you different websites that translated like google etc. so you can compare all of them at the same time to the words or sentence you gave. And gosh I can’t believe how off google translate it for example i had said fluent in my sentence SpanishDict was correct and when I searched the word google gave me, it was the word fluid.. haha.. and It helps you figure out the most accurate way to put a sentence together. Also I love the slow audio option to listen to the word. So you can listen to it better which google does let have and is often to fast to hear the pronunciation. I love SpanishDictionarycomLearning! So well put together, Well done!!

SpanishDictionarycomLearning saved my life when i thought 3 years of spanish class would be enough to survive a month in Spain. used SpanishDictionarycomLearning on countless occasions when talking to my host family. my only improvement to SpanishDictionarycomLearning would be to add more offline translations (when you don’t have wifi/data, you can still translate certain common phrases that SpanishDictionarycomLearning knows without using wifi/data). there a few offline translations, like “i love you” or other common phrases like “where is the bathroom?” but i would love it if they added more. when you’re traveling to mexico/spain, it’s likely you won’t have a data plan and rely only on wifi to translate things. having more offline translations would be great if you couldn’t find wifi.

Maybe a year ago, after tauting a competative translation-service to a friend, he simply sugested I check out your service to make a comparison.

In two minutes, I had to agree that your site is superior—if for no other reason that it always showns meanings in the CONTEXT of examples (which alone has helped me avoid using a wrong word or failing to use a correct (i. e., an “idiomatic” or better word) in a spoken or written sentence.

Also, the ability to enter a word in English or in Spanish is decidedly more convenient than having to indicate the language first.

One observatin (maybe even a question): I’ve never seen you having to update your site (as happened continually with the other site. Id it because you don’t have to or because you don’t advertise that?

Finally, in reading some older classics (e. g., “Los Novios” by A. Mansone), I notice you don’t always have a number of the rarer words in your service. But do you ever consider putting them in if they are searched for?

Anyway, thank you for your really helpful service.

I’ve been learning Spanish for a while now and as much as I already know, sometimes I forget how to conjugate an irregular verb! SpanishDictionarycomLearning is perfect for times like that I can see all of the conjugations for all of the tenses which is awesome! It’s also useful if you don’t understand a grammar topic like forming commands in the usted/ustedes form. It’ll give you examples and also how to form it correctly when to use it! Not to mention if you don’t know a word in Spanish you can look it up in English and it’ll tell you the correct word with examples as well! You can also take quizzes to practice what you learned! Hands down the best app for Spanish grammar!

by MilleAnne101

I love SpanishDictionarycomLearning. I love how much it helps. But dear baby Jesus, WHHHHYYYYYY are there ads with sounds on an app that gives you the option to hear how the word is pronounced? I don’t mind the ads. I understand why there are there. But at the same time, I shouldn’t have to struggle to hear how a word is pronounced just because the advertisement is fighting for dominance. It’s literally the most annoying thing in the world. If they could just have banner ads or ads that give you the option to just mute them, or something else other than the advertisement yelling at me to get a flu shot while I’m trying to conjugate. Other than that, SpanishDictionarycomLearning itself is awesome.
