Indispensable!

Yomysteryo · 15 years ago · v1.0

Une application très utile quand on veux maîtriser les subtilités de la langue de Shakespeare, et de plus magnifiquement illustrée! Caught my eye!

Cool

Supertantine · 15 years ago · v1.0

Distrayante et intéressante, une appli dont on ne peut se passer pour parler comme un véritable British.

Indispensable !

Kickfighter · 15 years ago · v1.0

si on veut vraiment parler anglais et comprendre les subtilités de la langue, bravo !

Bug !

Steveosteen · 15 years ago · v1.0

Les 20 premiers idioms sont gratuits, mais lorsquon installe le package "1et2" (140 idioms) lapplication ne démarre plus, même après reinstallation... Dommage

Appli exceptionnelle mais please debug !

Docteur curieux · 14 years ago · v1.0

Erudit et malicieux, un énorme travail qui couvre des tas dexpressions, avec leur étymologie, des explications historiques, des illustrations élaborées, etc. Un dictionnaire qui se lit par plaisir et qui permet vraiment de mieux parler langlais. INDISPENSABLE. Léger bug pour linstallation des modules supplémentaires payants mais ça finit par marcher.

Bravo
