    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: 8 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: 10 months ago

  • Do German JS Programmers Capitalize All Nouns?
    If you try to look up a German noun in https://en.wiktionary.org/ and fail to capitalize it, it won't be found.

    When I try to go on the duolingo website it says "Your connection is not secure" and blocks me from entering. There are no problems with any other sites and I also asked my brother to go onto the duolingo website and it works just fine for him. One time When I tried to access the website I got redirected to a fake duolingo website that was just duolingo.com but duoling instead of duolingo. The phone app also... Source: about 1 year ago

  • Why do I get redirected to 'preview.duolingo.com'?
    I always get redirected to 'preview.duolingo.com' on the web version. The only way I've found to go back to the normal site is to log out, go to 'duolingo.com', and then log back in. If you reload the page, you'll get redirected again. Source: about 1 year ago

10 Best language learning apps 2022
Many Duolingo courses are created by native speakers themselves which gave rise to perhaps less expected courses such as Guarani or Klingon. Another feature that makes Duolingo special to me is that it is not aimed solely at an English native speaker. For each language there are specific courses that aim at those with different first languages, which to date produces 81 courses.
2 Great Apps Review: LingoDeer Vs Duolingo
As I already said in my Lingvist Vs Duolingo Review, I really don't like the fact that Duolingo is trying to do too much to give all the options in the world to its users. Sure, it's nice to have both, a smartphone app and the web app. But, I think that is the main reason Duolingo doesn't try harder to fix bugs based on users' complaints. I have sent many reports about the bug on the app and the desktop version in...
