This language aid app covers over 23 major languages. It at well lets you progress at your own pace, by starting with simple phrases and gradually move to more complex sentences. This app is really helpful for beginners leveling up to professionals.

Rosetta Stone

From research some time ago about Rosetta Stone, I got to find out that she is the leader in teaching languages for 25 years. So am not surprise that it has a mobile app too. Choose from 24 languages and then start learning the basics. Listen to the words and repeat them, then match photos to phrases. If you are serious about learning a new language, then Rosetta Stone is an excellent option.
