Duolingo Reviews

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.

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

Honestly can't think of anything at the moment.

I like the lessons, the ways to learn. Duolingo used to have Podcasts in the language I am learning and in English, so I could listen and learn. That was discontinued.

It's a total competition! And lately, either the points are wrong or I get no points at all (like this morning) for 20 minutes of learning.
Don't get me wrong, I'm still learning, but if Duolingo is going to force you to compete, I need my points.

Daily motivation, Duolingo for Classroom option with unlimited hearts

Needs more speaking practice and more focus on grammar

I love the fact that I can learn simple basic language skills on my phone.

one has to go through many simple part before getting to the complex part of the language.

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

I liked Duolingo most because of its successful approach to learning. They make learning fun and practical.

I really don't like the woke culture aspect of Duolingo. It is distasteful to be made to write or speak about things I don't agree with in a simple language app, so I had to quit using it.

Duolingo makes learning fun by turning it into a game.

The annoying chime gets on my nerves for some reason.

Basic communication possible via usage and in a not so difficult format

No real cons. Time commitment and pace only

Easy to use app, very familiar to most users

The range of languages seems limited compared to other apps, with resources being dedicated to fictional languages over real, existing ones!

Fun way to learn a new language. The challenges are fun but it is only fun if you pay. Otherwise it’s not enjoyable.

I was scammed into a free trial and they took my money out of my account before the trial was up. Duolingo would not reply and Apple would not refund.

The ease of use is the first highlight of this app. The second would be how the app, at least to some extent, ensouls the process of learning a completely foreign and new language.

There is an insistence on keeping things fun while learning, which is great, but there is also a lack of depth beyond a certain level of learning. This dilutes the commitment to learning and practicing in the short term.

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.

I like that Duolingo has multiple foreign language choices and is in constant expansion. Its gamification makes it fun, but it keeps its simplicity. This app is nice as a complement to your language classes!

Duolingo helps you learn vocabulary by reading and repeating (written or verbal) different phrases; however, those phrases are not used on a daily basis. Therefore, the app is nice as a complement to other apps, but it will not help you get fluent by itself.

Eay and updated way of learning languages with good outcomes

This application is very nice not find any thing to comm6

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.

I like that I can see my progress on the languages that I am learning. I aslo like that I can switch up on my languages and I can also play games to help me. you can restart over and relearn the language if you want to re-learn it.

sometimes my phone will freeze IF I have been on it to long i have an android. i need to upgrade to an iphone.

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.

It's all done really well, gamification done right, hitting all the dopamine receptors. V easy to practise reading and writing anywhere - though listening and speaking practice can be harder if you're in public. The most french I've ever learnt.

The main issue is there's a clear upper limit to how much you can learn with Duolingo. There seem to have been more ads when I've looked at it recently.

Duolingo is easy to use, engaging and fun. I've learnt a lot over the year of using it and genuinely look forward to going onto the app for the lessons!

notifications can get a bit intense but i also appreciate the constant reminder

It is very easy to learn how to speak some every-day phrases and words. Also, it helps with the pronunciation and listening.

It doesn't quite show the grammar explanations of words and tenses, you just memorize them. Also, the stories are "woke" pushed and this context shouldn't be available to young children who just want to learn some words of a foreign language.

I love that it uses all aspects of language and not just writtencor spoken. I also love how if speaking to the app is not something you can do in that moment, you can turn it off!

If you get too much wrong, it takes a while to build up hearts to keep goint on the free version
