About Duolingo
Duolingo is a learning management system that helps schools offer bite-sized learning modules to teach speaking and reading different languages including Spanish, French, Italian, German, French, and English. The platform offers gamified lessons, which enable trainees to learn and incorporate grammar and vocabulary skills.
Teachers can define classroom instructions, track students’ progress against learning goals, and share personalized feedback on a unified interface. Duolingo offers iOS and Android mobile applications, allowing teams to download multiple training lessons and view them in offline mode. Students can also reset languages in profiles and follow or block team members on a centralized dashboard.
Duolingo lets trainers login via Facebook and Google credentials and manage parental controls. Learners can also compete with other trainees, track scores via leaderboards in real-time, and access Duolingo stories to attempt exercises based on reading and listening comprehension.

Perfect for increasing your vocabulary
Reviewed on 24/5/2024
Pros
I recommend this to everyone I speak to that wants to learn Spanish. It has really helped me increase my vocabulary.
Cons
"Spanish" is actually Mexican Spanish on the app... rather than Castellano which is Spain's main and official language. The world is biggerthan America but some companies don't allow for that in your software. I know that i can still input Castellano but when learning new words it's not helpful.

The best language learning app so far
Reviewed on 8/6/2024
Pros
It is a learning app that offers everything, from an entertaining and interactive way to learn a new language, certification programs, courses for new learners, advanced learners, or children, and a great variety of languages. To spur your language development they set up ranking lists, you can also view your progress.
Cons
The only drawback I found so far is the limited grammar lessons. For each lesson, the grammar explanation although they are well-written, only scratches the surface, they don't get into details.

The recent changes in the program are too focused on forcing sign-ups. Very annoying, to be constantly bombarded with ads. Too much WOKE influence, language learning is simply not the place for this!
Pros
Accessiblity, I can do a quick lessons on my phone. Could be a fine app if appropriate changes were made.
Cons
Too much WOKE, not really appropriate for children, some negative characters, rude comments about others, lack of verb tense background, lack of flexibility in responses. Recent change in heart availability for non-subscribers is set up to try to force payments.

Useful, interactive and striking app to learn languages.
In my opinion it teaches different languages in a basic level, sometimes the sentences are to standard, it would be better if it has some more “colloquial” teaching.
Pros
Friendly and interactive app for learning multiple languages in a funny way. The more lessons I complete, I can move forward in different divisions competing with other learners and friends.
Cons
I have to collect hearts or lives in order to continue a lesson. Any mistake is a life lost, therefore, once I run out of hearts I have to stop or do other tasks to get more.

The social element is great. you can support other learners with motivation and gaming elements to keep everyone going. This has made it more enjoyable.
Pros
Gamification is critical to learning. Having a point system where you can customize the owl or unlock lessons is motivating.
Cons
The app can be very navigational. Also, if you don't log on for a while, your account is removed, or at least that has been my experience.
