Speaker 1: I'm Rhea. I'm a teaching assistant. I'd rate Duolingo four out of five. For more reviews, kick below. I use Duolingo to help my students practice Spanish. I assign homework and quizzes through it to track their progress. I like the amount of options Duolingo has for my students to practice, whether it comes to vocabulary or grammar. I also like that it's super easy to use and that it gives daily reminders so my students don't forget to do their homework or assignments. Although their notifications are super useful for my students to remember to do their homework, sometimes it can get a little bit overbearing or bombarding. So I think the notification process could be a little improved.
