3.5/5

Even though each culture has its own language, it's a good thing to know more than your native one. Learning is incredibly easy nowadays, especially that the Internet provides an abundance of interactive lessons. Dedicated to learning English, applications like Effective-Englishe are a powerful means to get acquainted with pronunciation and writing, as well as improving your vocabulary.

The application is made out of multiple games that cover different learning methods and areas. You can access them by choosing the type from a city map, with most areas representing a different category. The overall visual design is neat and suitable for all ages, as are the games in terms of complexity and difficulty.

Everything is polished and equipped with visually appealing textures, as well as audio feedback for nearly every action you perform. These either come in the form of effects or voices, which also serve as learning material.

While taking a look around the virtual neighborhood put at your disposal, you notice the large variety of domains the application covers. These are cleverly placed, with each building or park being a different lesson. Amongst others, you get to learn about animals, home, people, sports, music, words, phonetics and a lot more.

You can play up to six different games, regardless of the chosen category. By combining audio feedback and visual support, the application lets you test your listening skills, memory, hidden words, flash cards, choosing the right word, or a mixed up version of all.

Don't get too excited though, because there isn't as much to learn as you would expect. The implemented dictionary feels pretty shallow, with questions repeating pretty often, cutting out some degree of practicality. What's more, some specialized areas like phonetics or vowels don't really seem to have dedicated games, and the implemented ones feel as if pulled from other groups.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Effective-English is a fun method of learning the basics of English, with neat visual and audio feedback and support. It mostly comes in handy if used by beginners or youngsters, because the variety isn't really what it seems or attempts to be, nor does the dictionary broaden your horizon too much.
