Curso Inglés, Aprender Inglés is a language learning app from developer TomatoTB that focuses specifically on teaching English to Spanish speakers. The app has been available on the Google Play Store for a few years now, and while it hasn't reached the massive install numbers of some mainstream competitors, it has steadily built up a user base with around 500,000 to 1 million downloads. You can download and install this app completely for free, which is a big plus. There is no requirement to register an email or create an account just to start using the basic lessons, though you will need to sign up if you want to track your progress across multiple devices. The app does include some in-app purchase options and, unfortunately, there are also in-app ads that appear between lessons.

When you first open Curso Inglés, Aprender Inglés on your phone, you are greeted with a straightforward interface. The app works by grouping vocabulary and grammar into thematic categories like family, work, or travel. Each category has a set of flashcards and listening exercises. My tip for getting the most out of this app is to use it during short breaks throughout the day. The lessons are bite-sized, so you can easily complete one while waiting for a bus. Also, make sure you repeat the audio out loud. The pronunciation feature is decent, but mimicking it really helps lock in the words. Some users find the ad frequency a bit high during free sessions, but the content itself is solid for beginners who are just starting to learn English.

I have tried a bunch of other apps on Google Play like Duolingo and Babbel, but I ended up sticking with Curso Inglés, Aprender Inglés for a specific reason. My native language is Spanish, and I found that many popular language apps are designed for native English speakers learning a foreign language. This developer, TomatoTB, created an app that actually explains English grammar rules in Spanish from the ground up. That simple difference made everything click for me. The app doesn't assume you already know complex English concepts. If you are a Spanish speaker who has struggled with other apps because they explain things in English, this app is worth the download.

Features

• ✏️ Compared to Duolingo, Curso Inglés, Aprender Inglés offers much deeper grammar explanations. Duolingo relies heavily on gamified repetition, but it often leaves you guessing why a sentence is structured a certain way. TomatoTB's app provides written grammar notes in Spanish for each lesson, which is a lifesaver when you are trying to understand the difference between "ser" and "estar" in English logic.
• 🎧 The listening comprehension exercises are a standout feature. Unlike Babbel, which focuses on practical conversation phrases, this app has a dedicated section with slow and clear audio specifically designed for Spanish speakers. You can slow down the native speaker's voice to catch every syllable, something that is not always an option in other popular language apps.
• 🗣️ The app includes a phonetics guide tailored to Spanish speakers. It directly compares English sounds that are difficult for Spanish speakers, like the "th" or the short "i" sound, against similar Spanish sounds. Other apps on Google Play might touch on pronunciation, but this one actually builds entire lessons around these specific phonetic challenges.

Pros

• 🤝 The biggest strength is the native Spanish interface. Every menu and instruction is in Spanish, removing the language barrier that exists in apps like Lingoda or Rosetta Stone, which force you to learn through immersion from day one.
• 📁 The offline mode is excellent. Once you download the lessons, you do not need a constant data connection to study. This is much better than apps like Memrise, which often require a connection for premium features or voice recognition.
• ⚡ The app is very lightweight on your phone. It installs quickly and takes up very little storage space compared to something like Busuu, which has heavy multimedia files. This makes it perfect for older Android devices.

Cons

• 💸 The in-app ads are quite intrusive. While the app is free to download and install, a pop-up ad appears after almost every completed flashcard set. Competitors like Duolingo offer a much smoother free experience, even if they also have ads, because the timing is better managed.
• 🔇 The speaking recognition feature is underdeveloped. The app has a voice exercise section, but it often fails to recognize correct pronunciation or accepts wrong answers. Other apps on Google Play, like ELSA Speak, have much more accurate speech-to-text technology.
• 📅 The update frequency is slow. TomatoTB does not release new content or fix bugs as often as apps like Babbel. Sometimes, you will notice a lesson has a small typo or a broken link, and it might be months before it gets patched.
