This noteworthy, innovative app-based comic store uses branded comics and graphic novels (Garfield, Maze Runner, Smurfs) to teach different languages. You download the store app with the tutorial and free sample and can then buy additional titles (most priced in the $2 - $3 range) as IAP (In App Purchases).
Each comic is listed by reading level - from beginner to upper intermediate. Once you select your home language, you are prompted to choose the language you want to learn. Languages listed include English, French, Spanish and Portuguese. It is possible to toggle between the two languages and to record your own attempts to read the new language, to be played side-by-side by a native speaker. We liked how you can slow down the speech for a close listen. There's a lot of validity to this method -- using high interest, authentic material to introduce a second language.
