It seems fair to say that smartphones have become multi-purpose tools capable of all kinds of things. A host of apps are available on the devices, which cover a range of activities, from playing the latest games to paying for goods and services.
You probably rely on your phone’s array of skills in many ways, but have you ever considered how it could help you learn new ones?
Expand your horizons
It is always exciting to refresh old skills or embrace new concepts, and many apps with an educational edge are now available.
So, if you are thinking about expanding your horizons, which potential options could you consider? Well, here we have pulled together a few examples of educational apps that might just come in handy.
1. Preply
This platform has a focus on languages, and it offers an app on both the Apple App Store and Google Play. There are many learning options available through the service, including the opportunity to find Korean classes near you.
The site explains that you can book classes 24/7, while it also includes full listings of the teachers available. In addition, there is the opportunity to book a trial lesson with a tutor, while you can message them with queries too.
2. Fender Play
Smartphones are very handy for listening to music, but they can also help you get started with making your own. Learning to play an instrument is a lot of fun, but it can be easy to give up when the going gets tough. So, if you have a guitar gathering dust in the corner of a room, it might be time to pick it up and give it another go with the help of an app.
