What was the best part about using Duolingo?

The best part is learning! Learning another language is easily available with the Duolingo application. Many major languages to choose from such as German and Spanish. There are levels that make it easier to set goals and keep track of learning, great tests that will put your gained language skills to the test. Duolingo does not limit itself to traditional learning such as reading a book but also uses audio and pictures for better understanding.

What would you change about your experience with Duolingo?

I have not observed any bad sides about the application. I just wish it is available offline or there are downloadable contents to make learning available offline. An offline feature would be very useful for third world countries that does not have readily available internet connection. Also, some languages are not available.

Overall Feedback

A language education software that is virtually free and effective, what's not to love? This software is a must have for people that wants to learn a language for business, personal or just for fun! It takes you through basic and advanced levels of the language with goals in mind. You get to see your friends progress so as to encourage you more or give a competitive edge. A great app that walks you through learning a language, but of course being immersed in the language is always best!

What was the best part about using Duolingo?

My favourite part about Duolingo is the ability to pick it up anywhere, it's so very convenient. It has a good variety of languages, progress tracking and great practice reminder system. You can switch from one language to another to keep your mind alert. The app is free and that is great. The lessons are short so you can find time to complete them even on a very busy day.

What would you change about your experience with Duolingo?

The only complaint I have with Duolingo is that focuses too heavily on simply translating text from one language to another language. My speaking skills haven't improved nearly as much as my translating skills. Generally, I have no other issues at all. Duolingo is a good software and i don't want to speak bad words, because I don't have it.

Overall Feedback

I love Duolingo! The app is far more convenient than the website, which is why I primarily use it. The learning method is both progressive and entertaining, it lets you work at your own pace and offers a wide variety of languages. Better results if you are consistent and use it every day. I'm using Duolingo to refresh my French. I like how the lessons adapt to my failures. Usually, the hard part about learning a language is finding the time to sit down and study a new language, but Duolingo makes it easy to study a language in short burst lessons in your downtime.

What was the best part about using Duolingo?

This application provides a convenient way of learning different languages that you find helpful if you are planning to go to different countries. No need to attend a class because with this application you can have fun while learning and connecting with other users wherein you can ask for useful tips.

What would you change about your experience with Duolingo?

It makes it hard for you to answer questions once you have reached higher levels. It is necessary that you become aware of each word in order to come up with the best answer. There are also instances that the meaning of the words is not the same in real life or on how people use it.

Overall Feedback

Overall, Duolingo is a great application for people who love to travel. It will make it easier for them to communicate by using simple words that they have learned from the application. The application will serve as your teacher without the need of spending money. It improves language skills of the users.

What was the best part about using Duolingo?

The ease of use, competition with friends and how fast you are able to understand your target language. The game aspect is fun and I especially love the timed practice which adds to your point total very quickly if you know the answers. The forum is great too for chatting with other people using Duolingo to hear other perspectives and get tips.

What would you change about your experience with Duolingo?

My main critic would be towards the maximum level you can reach with the software. Once you get to intermediate level, with complex sentences, it becomes quite hard to get the right answer, as all the possible right answers are not taken into account. It would be great if it had a better testing process and or separate exercises with more in depth explanation regarding conjugation of verbs. The support options could be better as it seems to take a long time to answers.

Overall Feedback

My favorite part about Duolingo is the ability to pick it up anywhere. The hardest part about learning a language is finding the time to sit down and study a subject as difficult as a new language. Duolingo makes it easy to study a language in short burst lessons in your downtime; even if that is only five minutes.

What was the best part about using Duolingo?

Best part about dealing with them: • Learning method is both progressive and entertaining. • They tart with the very basics, words we might use in daily life, and the variety of exercises combined with the friendly user interface makes it fun. • I use this app every day of my life since 502 days ago. My dream is to be able to develop an idea application, that be very useful, that people love to use if I can't to that I would like to work on Duolingo.

What would you change about your experience with Duolingo?

Worst part about dealing with them - Once you get to intermediate level, with complex sentences, it becomes quite hard to get the right answer, as all the possible right answers are not taken into account. - Wish there were more languages available outside Europe. The Android app doesn't have the same tops and basic learning text as the website. - Also, sharing certain achievements from the app would be nice. The app is far more convenient than the website, which is why I primarily use it.

Overall Feedback

Overall Feedback - The duolingo solution helps me to keep up my language skills, in order to create connections with foreign interlocutors. - Finally, being able to follow my friends and what they are currently learning makes me know a little more about them. - I want to be able to communicate with people who don't speak my native language. I can know listen, take courses, be able to ask about coding problems in slack or other communities.

What was the best part about using Duolingo?

Duolingo is a free language-learning and crowdsourced text translation platform that offers language courses to English speakers as well as native speakers of other languages : Latin American Spanish, French, German, Brazilian Portuguese , Italian and many more . It is really popular so i decided to use it and ever since i had this app , learning new stuff became fun and addicting .

What would you change about your experience with Duolingo?

You would most probably come accross with inappriopriately constructed sentences that makes no sense at all . It also uses a computerized voice system so you don't have any idea how it actually sound so the listening exercises is pretty useless . It would probably better if they used actual humans to make it more appealing .

Overall Feedback

For a free app , this is really nice that they have added a "mix" to the learning process and makes you more eager . You would not have to use it in the future but this is a great way to start . Duolingo's offers are limited but you can always transition to a better one , if you are willing to pay , of course .

What was the best part about using Duolingo?

Multiple languages are offered by the application tool for having extra fun in life. Duolingo supports Spanish, English, french with writing, reading, listening and speaking power improvement. It facilitates the students, professionals and outsources employees with extra fun. It is easy to understand and easy to learn. Android and iOS versions are helping anytime to users.

What would you change about your experience with Duolingo?

It works according to the demand of langues but the whole language with proficiency but its not very simple to learn new language with all grammar and composition that is necessary to make sentences. Students can use other sources for proper sentence building. Duolingo is a good to learn or to polish a language by its speaking and listening tools.

Overall Feedback

it is a compatible software for learning multiple languages or polish a language may be native or adopted. Duolingo works for students and professionals for easy translation of language too. Its tools are good and reliable one. Duolingo have other products too like PC magazines that are present in all languages and are used in the reading portion during study of new languages. I recommend to the students and for small businesses if they want to be international they should have know how of different languages.

What was the best part about using Duolingo?

Duolingo is an educational software which teaches you through educational games which are very appealing and you can enjoy with learning. It is an ultimate software to learn foreign languages that too by not paying even a single penny. There is nothing to spend and you learn a lot. There are many languages available and you can operate the software with your desired language. It is a favourite language expertise software among students these days. Once you start with your practice session, it keeps on notifying you about the time duration spent and still left for your ongoing session.

What would you change about your experience with Duolingo?

It is recommended for the people who have some basic knowledge about the language they desire to learn. If you have zero knowledge about the language, you cannot learn through it. It does not provide you the ABC of the language. In short, it is a practice and course software, not a teaching one. It would improve your command over language with time. You can not learn the grammar basics of the language, but surely get skilled in decoding the phrases directly in the language to be trained in. Much time is needed to get skilled in the language using this tool.

Overall Feedback

If you keep the basic insight about a language and want to get skilled in it, it is a perfect tool for you as you can conveniently learn to decode the phrases from one language to other. Since I have many foreign clients, I need to keep a good command on many foreign languages and this software helps me a lot. I can easily communicate with my foreign delegates by learning through this software. My niece studying in 9th standard also find it quite fruitful to learn different languages for her school course. They just need to enhance their mobile application and also add courses for people with null awareness about the language.

What was the best part about using Duolingo?

For those who do not have the time or not inclined to sit in a classroom for language training, Duolingo is a great option. It helps you learn any language easily. It’s self-paced approach and common its daily word foundation makes the learning curve for acquiring new languages less steep of a climb. Additionally, the end-tasks are fun and thought provoking. There is both a desktop and a mobile version of the app; including an Apple compliant one. The interface is pleasant and not too complicated to navigate. Anyone can use it and start learning without looking for professional assistance.

What would you change about your experience with Duolingo?

The “visibly absent” selection of Asian languages is puzzling. Surely, they must be working on including the most common Asian dialects in the future? They should be included, after all people want learn them too. Also, there is a definite difference in performance and “crash-worthiness” between the different OS versions

Overall Feedback

Duolingo makes comprehension of foreign daily languages a painless and speedy process. No need to sit in a class with teacher who cannot understand why you find so hard to learn a foreign language. You really get the feeling of accomplishment when it’s easy to gauge your progress through Duolingo.

What was the best part about using Duolingo?

Duolingo is a wonderful tool to learn new languages and improve the communication. It is very easy to pick up and the learning methods are interesting and also a fun. The approach is to use basic words which are communicated in the normal daily life and the range of exercises at the end are thought simulating. I especially liked the user interface and the aesthetics.It is not only used on desktop applications but can be also used on mobile apps.

What would you change about your experience with Duolingo?

I honestly feel Duolingo would do very well to include languages outside of Europe and Americas.There is a minor difference in learning the text from the website and the Android app as they do not have the same performance. The voice recognition is also a cause of concern on the app. The response features are also not standard and it would be great to have the caching process for a particular lesson when it is not complete so as to save time. The system is not robust and is prone to frequent crashes which require uploading again consuming significant amount of time. I also found that the navigation among the modules quite complex.

Overall Feedback

If your objective is to learn a new language pretty quickly - then, Duolingo is the right choice. It does not have features of great sentence structure and detailed explanations of grammar but you can easily use the learning to communicate in daily life. I chat with portugese people frequently and can figure out most of the things they converse even though i dont know every word. Duolingo makes it possible to understand the target language quickly!
