i LOVE Duolingo! It is such an easy way to learn new languages. It is free, and being completely honest, it is so much fun! Not like taking a class in a school. So many different languages to learn, and it is done in such an easy way too.

Duolingo provides a great way to study another language. You can use Duolingo for free; however, it also offers a paid option with additional benefits. One of my favorite things about the paid version of Duolingo is that it allows you to go back, see your mistakes, and try again so that you are really learning.

The look and function of this app is great. It makes it really accessible and easy to learn new languages and over the years it's gotten even better. However, the language you do learn isn't the most useful and it's really more of a foot-in-door approach to start learning the language outside of Duolingo. Best for familiarity rather than practicality.

During quarantine this last year I wanted to do something fun and productive with my time. I decided to learn a new language and I used duolingo to do it. The set up of the app is fun and easy to figure out which helped me feel more motivated to learn.

I spent some time on Duolingo before leaving to live in Central America. I was able to improve my pronunciation while also expanding my vocabulary and improving my grammar. I definitely will keep using it to keep up on my skills!

Duolingo is fun and you learn a lot but it would be really hard to get fluent from it. However, the test to check your level in the language is very accurate, which is nice so that you don't have to waste time on things you already know. It is definitely helpful, but more in terms of being able to read the language, rather than understanding people speak it.

I use Duolingo to improve my Spanish speaking and writing skills. Duolingo has constant notifications which encourages users to learn Spanish anywhere they want. Also it provides lots of tools and activities users can do to engage and keep them interested while learning Spanish. Using Duolingo, I learned more about the Spanish culture, food, and travel places.

Duolingo is absolutely the best way that I’ve found to dabble in or dedicate time to learning another language. This comes from someone who took several intro classes in multiple languages. It’s worth the monthly subscription if you really do need or want to use it on a regular basis. They make learning another language fun and intuitive.

When we traveled Europe we used this app to give us active language . We enjoyed it. It was fun and interactive. It was super entertaining and engaging. Each level gives you a lot of review with semantics and grammar as well as enforcing vocabulary.

Duolingo is probably the best language learning app out there and its free. If you are taking classes on a language already you can take a test to advance in your lessons which I did when I was in spanish 2 and it helped me learn better and I ended up doing better in the class because of it.

I used Duolingo to supplement my Spanish courses and the app was very east to use and very helpful in learning the language. It starts off with simple topics and works you up to more advanced topics which is extremely helpful in learning a new language. I haven't used the app in a while so I am not sure what new updates they have, but it would be cool to be able to practice with an actual language instructor through the app.

I have been using Duolingo to help practice my Spanish for around a year now and have loved it. The way it breaks things into sections makes it easy to learn and the awards and streaks provide a good incentive to practice everyday. I also enjoy connecting and competing with my friends, this has helped me to practice more and to practice everyday.

What a great way to learn a new language! It does seem to be geared towards someone wanting to travel, as they typical teach you those kinds of phrases. But I love how they let you hear it aloud and say it. It does no good to memorize words and phrases if you don’t know how to pronounce them correctly! I used it to practice my Spanish and was impressed.

My children are both learning Portuguese at their school so I've been trying to learn it using Duolingo. It is great! I love that you can hear the correct pronunciation of the language... but also see it written out. I learn so much better when I can read it AND hear it. I really like it - it's like playing a game.

Duolingo is the perfect way to learn a new language. It’s fun and engaging which makes the “work” seem like play. My Spanish has been fluctuating ever since high school depending on how often I am able to practice. This program makes it easy and quick to give effort to. I love it.

I’ve been learning Spanish on duo lingo and I feel like I’ve learned more in the last few months than I did in my two years of Spanish in high school. It’s easy to understand and you can go over whatever category you need as often as you’d like. The only reason I don’t give it five stars is because the ads are very frequent, though you can pay to get them removed, and you only have a certain amount of mistakes before you have to either wait for more tries or watch ads to get some. It is a free service though so it’s a fair trade off.

I am fluent in Spanish, but I downloaded this app anyway to see what it was like and was thoroughly impressed! It was very interactive and encouraged people to practice verbalization of the language, unlike most apps. I highly recommend for anyone that is a beginner and wants to start their journey to learn a new language!

Duolingo has so many options of what language you’re interested in and it’s courses are easy to understand and progress in. I did French alongside my school French class and the combination of them both made it so much easier than the class on it’s own.

In my profession I work with a lot of Spanish speaking people. I started to use Duolingo to help me learn more Spanish. I like the fun way that the teach you. It keeps you engaged and you want to keep improving. They have a nice reward system in play. Although it is fun and engaging I think it would be very difficult to actually learn Spanish this way but it is a way to increase you word knowledge.

Duolingo is a fun, easy app if you are looking for an introduction to a new language. It is easy to pick up and complete a few lessons in a short amount of time. I personally used this app for Russian and Spanish. I would not recommend using just this app for those who want a higher understanding of a language or aim to be conversational or fluent.

I like the convenience and comprehensiveness of the service. It covers a lot of basic intro language based stuff in a fun, presentable way. There are a lot of languages to choose from. I personally love the exercises, although to note as well they can have a mild redundancy as sometimes the lesson keeps presenting the same thing from before. I would like to overall see a bit more diversity in this.

Wonderful experience with Chinese. The thing with Duolingo is that it is not intended to teach fluency, but to assist in solidifying or adding to what you know. Using Duolingo in conjunction with other language learning helped me better understand grammar and memorize and understand the Chinese Characters. Plus, it is fun!

Duolingo is an incredible free way to learn languages - if you're dedicated. In my experience, it's really easy to get excited to learn and start a program, but it's also really easy to be inconsistent and not get very far. If you're not one for repetition-based learning exercises, then Duolingo might not be for you. However, that's something that you'll find in pretty much all language learning programs, and Duolingo is free and very user-friendly so I would still recommend it for anyone hoping to try out a new language or trying to refresh their skills in a language they've already learned.

It is a well-known joke that Duolingo will hunt you down. There is no end to notifications once you install the app. HOWEVER, learning different languages through this app has been the easiest thing to do. I've learned so much German and Spanish in a short amount of time.

I've been trying to learn Portuguese along with my kids. Duolingo has been a great way to learn a few basic vocabulary words and phrases. It's easy (and fun) to do, almost feels like a game. I love that you can listen to the pronunciation too (and even slow it down). I have a long way to go, but Duolingo has been great!

My best friend is Brazilian and her family took me to Brazil for a week over the summer. In preparation I used DuoLingo to learn some Portuguese, and it was very helpful! I was able to master all the basic commands before my trip and order my own food in a restaurant with minimal help from my friend’s family. The app was easy to use and accurate, and it made my experience in immersing in another culture so much better!

Duolingo is probably the best language learning app out there. I still have a few Japanese and Hawaiian phrases in my head which is awesome. I love impressing people with what I learned! I wish there would be more games and other fun things so I could actually practice more. Sometimes the routine can get boring and I'll not practice ever again.
