With its friendly approach and awesome updates, Duolingo’s long been one of our favorite 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!
Very good to start learning a language
Duolingo is very helpful to start a new language. It’s gamification makes learning more fun and makes me want to do my Duolingo every day. Streaks are also something I love and makes me want to get long streaks. Currently I have over a 600 day streak and have finished one course which is Arabic. One thing about some of the courses is that they don’t have much of a course. Some are short and some are way longer. Arabic was a decent course, but it wasn’t as long as French which I’m doing now. I’d recommend the Super plan, and if you have others in your family who can do Duolingo, you can get the Family Plan. The free version is good, but you have a limited amount of mistakes and if you run out of lives, you have to pay or wait. With the Super Plan, there are unlimited hearts. Super also has a practice area to help with revision. But that’s just some of what Super can do. You can probably find all the benefits on a Duolingo page online. The French course I’ve been taking has also helped with French class at school, and vice versa. Duolingo also has a thing called Leagues. Leagues are good in the beginning as a healthy competition, but higher up, it makes people do all the easy lessons, which doesn’t help with learning. So if you want you can turn Leagues off in the setting tab. Overall, I’d highly recommend this app to get and the Super plan too.
Great app- bad update
As usual, “upgrades” to computer products destroy functionality and make things progressively worse for the user. Latest update now has all lessons in sequence so that the learner has much less flexibility than before. Maybe its better if you are a school teacher trying to control what your students learn but I am nearly 60 and don’t need a nanny. The problems I wish they would have fixed include tiny pictures that I can see on my iPhone and occasional screens that don’t have enough room to see the text you are typing. They have fixed some of the regionalisms and no longer force me to use continental Spanish, for example. One continual annoyance with all academic language instruction is the insistence on “school grammar” instead of how people actually speak and write. Since I learned Spanish in an immersion program, I continually run into grammatical elements not actually used that I have to put in, like the “se” reflexive pronoun. Duolingo puts it in all the time, street Spanish leaves it out unless there is no other reference to the object.
Since I still can’t type reliably on virtual keyboards, I rely heavily on voice recognition, which works poorly. Most of my mistakes are due to voice recognition errors and secondly word order. Decent voice recognition would be a real plus for me. In some cases, the voice recognition just pumps out complete absurdities that bear no resemblance to what I said, recently, “darmelo” became “Dave my load”.
