Duolingo Reviews

I recommend this to everyone I speak to that wants to learn Spanish. It has really helped me increase my vocabulary.

"Spanish" is actually Mexican Spanish on the app... rather than Castellano which is Spain's main and official language. The world is biggerthan America but some companies don't allow for that in your software. I know that i can still input Castellano but when learning new words it's not helpful.

It is a learning app that offers everything, from an entertaining and interactive way to learn a new language, certification programs, courses for new learners, advanced learners, or children, and a great variety of languages. To spur your language development they set up ranking lists, you can also view your progress.

The only drawback I found so far is the limited grammar lessons. For each lesson, the grammar explanation although they are well-written, only scratches the surface, they don't get into details.

Accessiblity, I can do a quick lessons on my phone. Could be a fine app if appropriate changes were made.

Too much WOKE, not really appropriate for children, some negative characters, rude comments about others, lack of verb tense background, lack of flexibility in responses. Recent change in heart availability for non-subscribers is set up to try to force payments.

Gamification is critical to learning. Having a point system where you can customize the owl or unlock lessons is motivating.

The app can be very navigational. Also, if you don't log on for a while, your account is removed, or at least that has been my experience.

This is an excellent app to learn new languages and also music. Best part is motivation to keep up the daily streak and every week jump to a new level. daily new words, Strongly recommend for those who like to learn a new language

Sometimes it can be a bit addictive to be on top of the list.

A fun and easy way to improve conversational language

It doesn't really teach grammar, so it's not great for learning a new language from scratch. It is better for learning new vocabulary

its have a great way of motivating the users

more of the times, do not take at count the informal way the people talk or write on others lenguages

What I like most about Duolingo is its practicality and the simple, objective way of learning the language.

What I like least is the limited functions of the free plan compared to the paid plan

Duolingo offers an easy way to start learning a new language.

The pronunciation of the audio in Duolingo is not as natural as human recordings.

Very little, too annoying with all its mistakes to put up with any longer. And saw no benefits to the app in giving feedback, as it was never improved.

Couldn't get French French to English English translation, just sloppy american English, which is so very annoying.

There's a great variety of languages available and I like that it offers a placement test if you're already a bit familiar with the language

Because I'm living in countries where I'm also learning the languages on Duolingo, I'm learning at a faster rate than the application and I find I eventually get bored at the level it put me at in the beginning as I've surpassed it with real-life learning and development. So I end up stop using the app. Would love to be offered a level placement reassessment for such cases.

If you have a base knowledge of the language its okay to use to keep fresh

Straight up capitalistic practices. Removing several features. Charging a crazy amount for them. Continously advertising their own product.

This is just the 10k foot review. As a long time user I'm very very disappointed in the direction of this once great app

Duolingo is one of the best apps for language learning. Duolingo is supporting many languages, process of learning is entertaining and motivating.

Overall I don't have negative experience with Duolingo.

The amount of repetition, the quick matching, the different voices and speeds.

Honestly can't think of anything at the moment.

Using an interesting way to learn languages, like playing a game and completing missions to have a huge sense of achievement.

Some of the learning are not really practical, it'll be better if the lessons are actually useful to learn how to communicate to people.

A wonderful program through which I was able to learn the English language and the Turkish language. Its method is easy and enjoyable, and it is given in a gradual manner.

I wish all the lessons were free... because they would be more beneficial

Easy to use with helpful reminders in a busy work schedule.Lessons can be short enough to do on your break or you can do multiple, this can be managed with goals of how much you want to achieve.

Some parts are repetitive and new ways to learn and be assessed would help with engagement and retention of people using the app.

Really good way to pick up the basics of a language in an engaging way and can be done flexibly.

Most of the phrases you learn on the first few levels are fairly unhelpful in daily conversation. Lots of ads on free version which can get a little annoying.

It can be good way to learn vocabulary and basic grammar and had helped me to learn French. Also i like that it has support of multiple languages.

It takes lot of time to progress and it you already know some of language and just wanna get more better like over B1 then i wouldn't recommend it.

Duolingo is extremely interactive and easy to learn.My team enjoys learning in their spare time.

The constant ads are a hassle and very frustrating. Sometimes their graphics are hard to make out.

Looks easy, and interface seems simple enough. Lower price than other language learning courses, screens are generally not too busy and very clean. Somewhat easy to get around and straight forward clicking on tabs makes it more easy to use.

No customer service, they do not reply to questions.

For example, I purchased a year with understanding I would not be required to purchase in-app tokens - this was not true, nor not mentioned before buying.

Furthermore, after a few sessions, I wanted to cancel, but found out once you pay, you cannot get your money back. You have to wait one year before that can happen. Because there is no communication, if you fall for the sales pitch, your done.

i enjoy the format in which they are able to teach you a new language and the repetitive nature pf it

I have only used the free version and it would be nice to fast track your learning and focus on specific areas which you struggle in, however i think that this is available in the paid version
