---REVIEW---

I mainly use this app, Tasty for cooking and baking but I realized that the app is also good for English learners. Reading recipes is presumably a good practice in order to read something in English and understand how stories flow because each sentence is short and clear. You may encounter unknown words though if you cannot understand what recipes say, each of them has a video too, so don’t worry about your English level too much before trying it.

To start using it, firstly, create your own account by adding your phone number, and then type in the verification code you received on your phone. That’s it! You will see the 3 icons at the bottom of the page –discover, guides, and my recipes. You can search any recipes you hope at the search bar at the top of the discover page and save and see them on your “my recipe” page. However, if you hope for an app which is directly connected to English learning such as a vocabulary app or conversation training app, it may be not a good resource for you. In contrast, you will like it if you prefer learning English with learning other things (like me!).

Get Tasty and try it now! There is a website version of it, so please take a look at the site if you are interested in it.
