Hi all,
We're the creators of the Forge app (https://www.forge.co/), a free "magic textbook" for language learners, and we wanted to bring you our Spanish curriculum! We're a couple of aspiring polyglots who felt that the existing app options came up short in providing a place for language enrichment. So we decided to give it a shot on our own. Although only Spanish is up for now, we're working on Italian, French, and Portuguese curricula, as well as Esperanto. We also recently became a social media partner of the International Year of Indigenous Languages 2019 Campaign and we're working on connecting with those communities in an effort to put together content and curricula around indigenous languages.
Currently available in our Spanish curriculum are six Beginner packs and four Intermediate packs, which include both lessons and drills. We've also recently rolled out some more offbeat packs around sports and movies, introduced verb practice packs, and have vocab packs and a cheat sheet for some of the most commonly used words.
We'd love for any and all to take a look and would love to hear feedback on what's working and what isn't. Since we're still in early stages, any notes or thoughts you are willing to share will go a long way in helping us make Forge as effective and enjoyable as we envision. You can share your thoughts with us through our feedback survey here: https://forms.gle/J6DffNcxcNwv8TEa8
Finally, if anyone is interested in getting a sneak peek at what's in the works, we're bringing on beta testers to get early access to some of our upcoming features, as well as a nifty badge on your profile page. You can let us know here or reach out to us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/forge_co.
Thanks for your time and best of luck on your language learning journeys!
