WestonPatch features an article about Noyo: Spanish and about how technology can be integrated into the classroom to engage students, or anyone, and help them learn Spanish.

Mike Sullivan, our Chief Learning Officer and classroom technology advocate, teaches Spanish as the Field Elementary School, and is himself a graduate of Weston High School. In the article, he talks about our new languages in the pipeline – Portuguese, French, Italian, Mandarin Chinese, and English as a Second Language.

            

Designed to work with the Kindle Fire, Samsung Galaxy Tab, Motorola Xoom, and all other Android tablets, including those by Asus, HTC, Sony, and Lenovo. We’ve tested it as extensively as we could and it should run smoothly on all of them, but if we’ve missed something, please let us know and we’ll fix it a.s.a.p.

Unsurprisingly, our own Noyo: Spanish Vocab Builder is available on the Amazon App Store for your Kindle Fire or other Android tablet.

Thanks to Paul, April, Yin and Joe who did a great job and really helped out with some important tasks we had.

As CEO, I’m a strong believer that the critical thinking skills that a liberal arts education provides are the basis for a great business skill set.  It’s hard to convince Swatties to go into the business world, but when they do, they thrive!

This button, now gloriously displayed on all pages of our site, is a result of months of effort by a dozen people to create a vocabulary building app worthy of release.

We are very happy to announce the launch of Noyo Spanish Vocab Builder – Beginner for iPad!

For just $7.99, we’ll teach you over 1800 Spanish vocabulary terms in 194 gloriously illustrated scenes. Words are grouped into eight units, each covering a part of everyday life: Food, Travel, the City, School, House and Home, Seasons, Animals, and Sports. Each word is clearly voiced by native speaker and professional voice actor, Alba Aragón.

We are proud that our first Noyo vocabulary app is available for sale. Also excitingly, Android is going through the final stages of production and will be released very soon!
