English is becoming more and more important as the common language of Europe. That's why more children in elementary school are learning English as a second language earlier than in the fifth grade, as was done previously.

The problem: Vocabulary drills are much too boring. The solution: "English is Easy is a new app for the iPhone and iPod touch which makes learning fun. The app contains 115 basic English words. Children who want to improve their English can touch one of the illustrated buttons in the menu and choose one of nine categories such as animals, opposites, seasons, vegetables, and school supplies.

As soon as a category is chosen, the app loads the first word. Each word is presented as a picture on the screen in landscape format with the text clearly written next to it. The word is read aloud by a native English speaker with American pronunciation. Nouns as well as adjectives are presented. You can touch the buttons to go forward, or you can go to the menu and select Play All for a slideshow of the complete flashcard set.

A bit of sentence structure is introduced in the category Opposites, with ten nouns and adjectives combined to make short sentences.

Developer Frank Meyer says, "Pictures make a bigger impact than just words in a text, and it's even better if you can also hear the English word read aloud. From an educator's perspective those elements are better than just scrolling through a vocabulary list. This way, the children can learn the vocabulary in no time and really shine in their English lessons, bringing home better grades.

English is Easy 1 Quiz: A Pop-quiz in vocabulary!

Did you really learn your new vocabulary? To test this, download the supplementary app. "English is Easy 1 - Quiz" uses multiple choice to test the acquired knowledge. There are 115 questions in random order. This fully illustrated app is a real treat for children.

Each question is read aloud in English and presented as text on the screen. The learner can choose from three pictures that answer the question. Just tap on the picture that you think is right.

If the answer is correct, the next question comes up. If the answer is false, the voice in the app says, "Sorry," or "Try again" and you have to tap on another picture. The goal, of course, is to end the quiz with as few false answers as possible. A separate score page shows you how many right answers you got, as well as how many times you answered incorrectly. By selecting "Play again," the quiz can be restarted.

"English is Easy 1" and "English is Easy 1 - Quiz" are published by Frank Meyer ("Dark Dice", "Bunny Gotschi") and are the result of a collaboration with Rebecca Schulz (http://www.hannover-english.de/). Rebecca Schulz is an English teacher with eight years of professional experience and a TEFL Certificate from Winfield College. She contributed all images as well as her teaching concepts to the apps.

Dark Dice 1.0: The iPhone Dice for the dark side!

Are your dice gone? No problem: these dice are simulated in the iPhone and realistically roll around when shaken. Frank Meyer already offers several dice applications in the App Store. Now he presents Dark Dice 1.0, his first dice of horror: this time the dark side gets its own dice. Fantastic animations along with a growling voice in the Dark-Side style make for fun special effects.

Briefly summarized:

iPhone App Dark Dice 1.0 is here
Simulated dice in 3D for on the go
Shake the iPhone to roll the dice
Spine-chilling sounds and voice
Also works with the iPod touch
Link: http://www.frank-meyer.de/

Everyone has been there: The whole family or gang feels like playing an exciting board game - but the dice are nowhere to be found. It's like they've all fallen off the face of the earth.

No problem: Frank Meyer presents a new iPhone-App which lets you keep your dice on hand. The Dark Dice 1.0 can be installed on all iPhones and iPod touch devices. The special feature: you can shake the device to roll the die. The 3D animation shows you the rolling die before it stops, and then you can see the number that comes up. It's impossible to cheat, the die does not teeter or tip in this digital version. Everybody in the game can take turns shaking the iPhone.

Dark Dice 1.0: Glowing copper, rising hellfire

Frank Meyer already offers several dice in the iTunes AppStore. The new release "Dark Dice 1.0" is a very special die: It comes from the depths of hell and looks like it has been forged from red-hot copper by the devil himself. It even sounds metallic as he crashes onto the floor, and hellfire radiates out of the numbers.

Frank Meyer: "At last the dark side has its own dice. The outcome of each roll is accompanied by a rasping comment by a Dark-Side-style voice. A game of dice with bad guys is much more fun when this App is used."

You don't need to shake your iPhone to roll the dice of the dark side, tapping the screen works too, especially if you don't want to risk dropping your device.
