Anki comes to mind.
There are also many, many dictionaries available for Android. A good PDF reader (I use the one included in QuickOffice, since it handles large files nicely.) R. == 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Get the Kindle Android app. It comes with free monolingual dictionaries for French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese and English (US & UK).
You can then sideload free PD ebooks and read them with the popup dictionary. (You'll need a junk email address if you don't already have an Amazon account.) A StarDict compatible dictionary client such as GoldenDict might also be useful. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Theres plenty of apps out there, however on mine I just use Anki, radio/tv apps and dictionaries, which there are quite a lot of.
If you are looking for apps specific to your TLs I would recommend spending a couple of hours just browsing through the marketplace, as there are lots of quality apps but also a lot more bad quality ones. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Pretty much any Latin alphabet based Mobipocket dictionary is compatible with the (hardware) Kindle. However, the Kindle apps for smartphones, PCs and Macs only support the monolingual dictionaries unless you hack the ASIN of your dictionary so that it matches one of the default dictionaries. AFAIK, there are 2 free Spanish English dictionaries and both leave much to be desired: 1. Dave Slusher 2. Michael Sheldon BTW, it's very easy to create Latin alphabet based lookup dictionaries for the Kindle from tab delimited text files, because both converters and authoring systems are freely available. 1 person has voted this message useful |
