FoLaWo™ - Porlish is from the language series (As seen in FoLaWo™ Intro), but is purely focused on the Portuguese/English languages and is designed for you to take advantage of "down time" (subway, bus, waiting time) and use that time to develop your language skills - while solving one of over 100,000 unique puzzles!
This app can be used by an English speaker learning Portuguese, or an Portuguese speaker learning English.
If you like word puzzles then this app is both challenging and useful. Challenging in that you are having to test your vocabulary knowledge - not in your native language, and useful in that you will develop your English/Portuguese vocabulary as you try to think of the English/Portuguese word for "……".
There are many ways to use it as well!
1) you can choose to solve your native language ( 1st Lang) using the learning language (2nd Lang) as clues - thereby testing your recall of the meaning of the 2nd Lang.
2) choose to solve the learning language (2nd Lang) using the 1st Lang as clues - this will help expand your foreign language vocabulary, foreign literacy skills.
3) 3 different play modes allow you to place emphasis on the language, or the puzzle. You can choose to focus on language vocabulary/literacy building (Easy mode) or focus on solving the actual puzzle (Hard mode). Medium mode just fills the gap in-between.
There is the also ability to change to Easy mode from Medium/Hard if you get stuck.
In the end, no matter which game mode you choose, there is still a need to use your language knowledge to solve the puzzle, thus allowing you to practice your foreign language skills.
"It wont happen overnight, but it will happen" - FoLaWo™ is a language learning accessory. If your learning Portuguese/English - it can help you practice when not in class and is much like you using an online computer translator to find a foreign word - except you dont have to be connected to play FoLaWo™ and its a game, hopefully a fun game - but definitely a challenging game!
Fo La Wo.
Enjoy!
