Reviews
It's a great tool for beginners. I'm learning Spanish and find the lessons easy to follow. Sometimes the ads can be a bit much, but the free content is excellent value.
Duolingo has been incredibly helpful for brushing up on my German. The variety of exercises keeps things interesting. Wish there were more advanced lessons though.
Decent app, but some of the sentence translations feel unnatural or slightly incorrect for Japanese. The speaking exercises could also be improved. Still, good for vocabulary building.
Best language learning app I've tried! I use it daily for Italian. The interface is user-friendly and the learning process is very addictive (in a good way!). The Super Duolingo is worth it if you use it a lot.
Very useful for learning basic vocabulary and grammar. The gamification keeps me motivated. Sometimes the notifications can be a bit too persistent, but overall a solid app.

Absolutely fantastic app! Makes learning French fun and engaging. The streak feature really motivates me to practice every single day. Highly recommend it!
