With its friendly approach and awesome updates, Duolingo’s long been one of our favourite apps for learning another language. Its secret: making the process genuinely fun. Engaging mini-games test your reading, writing and speaking skills, and joining a club (where you can encourage and compete with others) adds a great social element. Bonus: all those languages and games are available for free!

I love Duolingo. It is so effective and it makes learning fun. I would definitely recommend using this app. It uses very effective techniques and learning tools and presents the new language in a fun and simple manner. It is good for all levels of learning, whether you are a complete beginner or advanced. At the moment I am only using the normal duolingo, and have not upgraded to the unlimited, and I find that it still works amazingly. Most apps require you to pay for the unlimited version and purchase new upgrades, which I find really annoying, but with Duolingo, you are given access to pretty much all of the perks without having to pay a cent. The unlimited version looks great, because it is ad free (although Duolingo has a very small amount of ads), it allows you to use as many hearts as you want (you only get 5 with the normal Duolingo but I really believe that this is a good motivation to be honest) and many more but you are not limited in content without it, unlike many other apps. I have been learning Spanish for a couple of years on and off with different apps, books, classes and techniques, but I have found Duolingo the easiest way to learn another language. This is because they are dedicated to helping people and students learn and understand different languages, not primarily dedicated to profiting off it.I would definitely recommend this app to you, no matter what learning level you are at. It is such a fun and efficient approach to becoming bilingual. Good luck on your learning journey, and thank you Duolingo. 😊

Duolingo really helped my speech development in Greek, so when I go to to Greece I’m 100% prepared. Duolingo really has helped in anyway but one thing is that the super Duolingo pops up often but you can just ignore it andYou don’t have to pay you can just press no thanks and you’ll be okay. There is some ads if you go on phone or iPad but if you do it on computer no ads at all and it is just a really great learning process. I do Duolingo once a day at least and it is really helpful in a way that even if I don’t do one day I will still be at the point where I am I keep track of where I am. There’s even a little guidebook full of sentences and things that you have experienced in the learning process there is about 23 units of learning in Greek. I don’t know about anything else but it there’s way more options. Besides great I’m just learning Greek getting ready to travel but there’s a lot of different options in countries and languages that you can learn. It is so fun and it does not force you at all one thing that I do recommend for Duolingo though is that they remove lives because you also have lives and if you run out of lives then you can’t play until the next day well you just have to wait three hours for your next heart, but besides that it is an amazing app and most likely the best learning app I have ever played so thank you Duolingo!

So I downloaded Duolingo a couple days ago, and it’s been my obsession. I’m learning German, but you can lern a lot more languages. It’s a great way to get a head or catch up in school, seeing as, you can lern Math, Music and grammar in the app aswell! It might be a bit stress inducing/addictive, since when you start the game, you have to set a streak, and to keep that streak you have to play every single day if you want to keep it. Also the adds are kinda excessive, but aren’t all games. In the game, you might experience an add for an app called Super Duolingo, and you can sign up for a free 7 day trial. Super Duolingo is basicly a more updated, less add, and other cool features to the game kinda thing, wich would be great, seeing as all the new, cool features and opportunities the mode brings, it’s highly expensive. We’re talking $200 for this. However my payment status for this might’ve been a glitch, or maybe something else. But I looked up the amount and it ranged somewhere in the 90s or 100s, in which my opinion is very highly priced, for such a mid update that isn’t even compulsory to enjoy and play the amazing game, and cool features alone, without having to bye anything. But alas, the sweet bird, the AMAZING learning opportunities, the inclusiveness the game just manners to vibrate throughout the hole game/ gameplay is too much for me to care about the very few flaws, that I completely understand and am not complaining about. No game is perfect but this one is definitely high on perfection. Highly recommend!Xx, Lucy
