   A review

   It's incredibly easy to use and the regular reminder from the app about practicing more keep you consistent. Besides,in my opinion,it also can be not only a tool for learning languages,but a good entertainment for kids too. I've been practicing here almost every day throughout the year and i highly recommend Duolingo:))

   👍 Pros:    I added everything i want to be mentioned above

   👎 Cons:    Perhaps the design may look "too childish" for some adults,but it's only the matter of taste

   Pretty good

   Duolingo is a quite nice language learning app for the begginers and for those who want to know a certain language on a pretty good medium level(It's like something between A2-B1,i suppose). Moreover, I'd like to admit it's can be useful for kids as well because the app has cute design and playable interactions , challenges and its own little app - shop where you can buy different bonuses for you ,and in my opinion,children could like an idea of learning languages in a playable form. Though, Duolingo can be rather annoying, when you miss one or two days of studying ,so it'd be really awesome if my brother,for example, who uses this app ,could make his own studying schedule here.

• how gamifying my life helped me build better habits and achieve my goals

  Duolingo: a language-learning app that uses points, levels, and rewards to keep you motivated. This is the most effective when you do it with your friends or a group of people who share your learning goals. I got really addicted to checking my leaderboard rankings everyday. Source: 9 months ago

• Brushing up on Spanish

  Hi! I wish I'd seen a post like this a few months ago. I would have been interested then. By now it's a little late for me. I just signed up for the 2 week free trial since that's about all the time I have left before I leave. If you can, use a desktop computer/laptop to do duolingo.com and it will have no ads and unlimited hearts! Not as convenient as the app on a phone but saves tons of time and you can do it...

• What is the best method to learn Japanese?

  If you want a guided course try Memrise or Duolingo. Source: 11 months ago

• This is where you can change your avatar to a custom profilephoto!

  I appreciate the energy to help, but if there are 5 posts in a day all on the same topic with the answer 'use duolingo.com' I don't expect anyone who has the "I'll just create a reddit post" idea to find this post and read it, they didn't read any of the others. Source: 11 months ago

• I need a detailed guide with all Italian sounds supplemented by audios or videos.

  You might want to check out the Fluent Forever learning model and their app. Their pronunciation trainer does something similar to what you're talking about. Source: 11 months ago

• Experience with 625 Fluent Forever words in a weekend. Image -> Irish

  I read the book Fluent Forever and it recommends Anki so I thought I would try it. It says use images as a setup to avoid trying to translate in your head. And has 625 common and fairly concrete words to start people off. Source: about 1 year ago

• Anki SRS Algorithm

  You might find this app relevant, one of the ideas behind it is that by selecting your own images the concepts stick better: https://fluent-forever.com/index.html. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Best methods for accent reduction?

  A way to become aware of these subtle differences is practicing minimal pairs. I recommend Fluent Forever (https://fluent-forever.com/index.html), which I'm using. They have a 14 day free trial period and that's enough time for you to go through their listening and pronunciation section. You also learn the relevant parts of IPA for your TL while doing this.

• The idea that western methods are better at teaching Japanese than the methods used in the Japanese education system

  I subscribed for the free trial, and see if I can stick to it. Https://fluent-forever.com/app/. Source: about 3 years ago
