I enjoy how easily it is to learn a language too. > > **Cons**: I don't like how they became AI first company, but I'm hoping they will return to their human team soon\! > > Overall, I enjoy learning with new lingo, it makes it fun and easy while also having ways to compete with others ----- ### "Duolingo is for beginners and thats it." — 2.0/5 > **Kim** | *26 December 2024* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: The interface is easy to follow. Some features help to remember words and some simple things like Hello, How are you?, Excuse me or Please and Thank You. > > **Cons**: Lessons have no bearing on real world situations or conversational learning. Many of the lessons just spit out nonsense phrases with no ability to get a full translation and force a user to answer when they don't even understand the question. > > In the beginning (with a paid membership) the lessons are helpful to start to build a single word understanding. The problem is with syntax and grammar, there is no explanation or way to get help when the app forces you to complete a lesson. It will just repeat over and over gain until you "copy" the answer but never helps you understand the problem. I am 253 consistent days in on a paid account for Duolingo to learn Italian and have hit a major brick wall for the past 60 days. At this point, the disjointed lessons have no bearing on life or real world conversations and offer no explanations to grammar or syntax. While I already knew some words and phrases, Duolingo's paid version has done nothing to get me from a basic understanding to an intermediate level. Making friends in the app is no help since you can not talk with them and the Lilly "AI" bot is highly limited. Duolingo has some nice things about it, but for the person who is looking to become fluent in a language, this is not the program. Unless you are speaking with a human or have exercise programs to help with common everyday situations, words and phrases, Duoling is just not that program. I gave this app great hope, but it has seriously let me down. There is no way to tailor your lessons or have it learn where you need help and because it forces you to give and answer you do not understand the question or phrase, there is no way to actually learn. On a scale from 1 to 10 I give Duolingo a 4 and lower if someone if looking to become fluent. ----- ### "Duolingo user review" — 5.0/5 > **Paisley** | *20 October 2025* | International Affairs | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like how the platform is so easy to use, and how short the lessons are, so easy to digest and use daily. I also like how the streak feature gives you freeze days so you retain motivation and momentum even when missing a day. I especially like how you can skip the listening or speaking if you are in a public place. > > **Cons**: I don't like how it sends me progress email updates and how it regularly pushes you to upgrade to the higher paid plans. > > I think it's a great language learning app. The short lesson length makes it great for beginners and makes it feel less intimidating and easy to get started with. ----- ### "Duolingo helped me a lot." — 5.0/5 > **Pedro** | *03 November 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Duolingo allows me to learn easily and enjoyably, giving me the opportunity to further develop my English and learn new languages. > > **Cons**: Duilingo disappointed me by constantly sending notifications. I know it's meant to encourage users, but they could send fewer notifications. > > I love Duolingo, it's very practical and efficient, the exercises are easy and give you a chance to correct your mistakes, it has a great price\! And it's very safe. ----- Page: 1 / 40\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2047539/duolingo-for-schools?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2047539/duolingo-for-schools) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
