   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...

• 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

  You will be golden if you pair Spanish 2200 with this. Source: 11 months ago

• Things to do while riding; Learning languages via voice control?

  The best podcast for learning Spanish is called Language Transfer: Spanish. Can be found on YouTube or SoundCloud. Can be downloaded as mp3s from languagetransfer.org and uploaded to your phone. This will take you from not knowing anything to being functionally conversational very quickly. Source: over 1 year ago

• How to improve?

  This is the crux of languagetransfer.org I believe, the podcasts focus on cognates, or words that are similar in spanish>english. In addition to LT, I also use dreamingspanish.com and duolingo. My next step is to put aside my fear, and begin my online tutoring with italki.com, which I've already funded, but not yet started... Source: almost 2 years ago

• I Learned French in 12 Months

  One resource you may not be aware of is https://languagetransfer.org. It is easily the best language acquisition system I've ever used (I did the Spanish course). I've previously learned French, German, Sesotho and Japanese using a variety of techniques, and I wish Language Transfer had been around then! The courses are entirely audio (using a convenient app or downloadable MP3 files) and it all runs on donations. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Learning Spanish at 64 almost 65
