Duolingo 0/3

A simple language learning program to start you off on your new language journey. Using this fun and intuitive app, you can master a new language.

A new language opens new doors

Learn while you’re having fun. Expand your world and learn a new language. Choose from more than 30 different languages.

Deciding to learn a new language is a big commitment. It can be expensive and requires a lot of hard work. Duolingo is bringing fun into learning, with their free program offering a range of languages.

This app offers a wide variety of languages to learn. What’s great about it, is it’s extensive vocabulary provided with each one. It offers a chance to focus on communication with others, pronouncing words to adapt to a specific accent, and general dialects that fit every style of the language you’re learning.

The program uses fun and interactive mini-games with various themes to keep you engaged. Each time you progress, you earn in-game currency. This currency is used to purchase boosts to help you improve your score, and some fun skins for your avatar. You can also earn badges when you complete specific challenges and show them off to the large community. This is, however, the only real social interaction available on the platform.

Audio files can be repeated verbally, making it easy to practice matching your voice to the spoken words. The application will highlight words you struggle with and give you another shot at them.

You have to complete a level before you can progress to the next one. If you’re already familiar with certain concepts, you can opt to take a shortcut to avoid the already repetitive content.

Where can you run this program?

This program runs on iOS version 12.1.2 and later versions.

Is there a better alternative?

No. Duolingo is an excellent choice for people who want to learn a new language. Other programs, like Rosetta Stone, provide similar lessons but can become quite an expensive option.

Our take

Overall, Duolingo is a great starting point for anyone who has always wanted to learn a new language. It’s a fun and simple way to learn, and offers the chance to upskill yourself in new areas.

Should you download it?
