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.

It's been good for consistently practicing a language I already had a strong background on. I wouldn't recommend it for learning a language with no other foundation.
Pros
I like the characters, the condensed lessons, the reminders, and the ability to connect with others. Doing a streak is motivating. It has improved my vocabulary
Cons
It doesn't explain any of the grammar and it's just memorization. This doesn't really help you learn a new language

Overall, I enjoy learning with new lingo, it makes it fun and easy while also having ways to compete with others
Pros
I enjoy how I can learn a language easily, and with fun, I also enjoyed how I can have friends and do friend streaks, it helps keep me going. I enjoy how easily it is to learn a language too.
Cons
I don't like how they became AI first company, but I'm hoping they will return to their human team soon!

In the beginning (with a paid membership) the lessons are helpful to start to build a single word understanding. The problem is with syntax and grammar, there is no explanation or way to get help when the app forces you to complete a lesson. It will just repeat over and over gain until you "copy" the answer but never helps you understand the problem. I am 253 consistent days in on a paid account for Duolingo to learn Italian and have hit a major brick wall for the past 60 days. At this point, the disjointed lessons have no bearing on life or real world conversations and offer no explanations to grammar or syntax. While I already knew some words and phrases, Duolingo's paid version has done nothing to get me from a basic understanding to an intermediate level. Making friends in the app is no help since you can not talk with them and the Lilly "AI" bot is highly limited. Duolingo has some nice things about it, but for the person who is looking to become fluent in a language, this is not the program. Unless you are speaking with a human or have exercise programs to help with common everyday situations, words and phrases, Duoling is just not that program. I gave this app great hope, but it has seriously let me down. There is no way to tailor your lessons or have it learn where you need help and because it forces you to give and answer you do not understand the question or phrase, there is no way to actually learn. On a scale from 1 to 10 I give Duolingo a 4 and lower if someone if looking to become fluent.
Pros
The interface is easy to follow. Some features help to remember words and some simple things like Hello, How are you?, Excuse me or Please and Thank You.
Cons
Lessons have no bearing on real world situations or conversational learning. Many of the lessons just spit out nonsense phrases with no ability to get a full translation and force a user to answer when they don't even understand the question.

Duolingo has generally been a very good introduction to learning Spanish for me. I have managed to build a good baseline knowledge of words that can help me identify what is being said even if I don't fully understand. I will continue to use Duolingo as will my family to improve our language skills.
Pros
Being free is a massive bonus as I imagine many will want to learn second languages and beyond. The variety of languages available in very impressive although I have only chosen Spanish to learn. The incentives to maintain streaks is a good addition and encourages me to do at least one lesson a day which helps me to continue learning new words but also build upon what I've learnt so far.
Cons
Whilst suitable for myself, I imagine this can be insufficient for those that can speak the language to a higher level. I also find as a beginner to learning Spanish, some of the explanations or lack of don't help me understand where I went wrong as naturally I will make mistakes. Better explanations about the mistakes will perhaps mean less mistakes and better learning.

I have been using it for almost 2 years. I have a 636-day streak which ı never want to lose. I feel motivated with it. It always sends me notifications through either apps or mails. You never forget to study on it in that way.
Pros
It is very motivating. And now with its AI extension, it is more powerful than ever. You can just talk to it like a real life conversation. It is a good simulation and really authentic way of life.
Cons
The price for its AI version is pretty much compared to other LLMs. When considered that it only focuses on language learning, it could have been cheaper.
