### "Para quem pretende usar o Duolingo no dia a dia como ferramenta de aprendizado de idioma"

June 30, 2023

5.0

De maneira geral o app é engraço e fácil de usar, trazendo um bom conteúdo para iniciantes e para manter algumas particularidades do idioma vivo, mas ele não substitui a conversação e a imersão ao idioma.

Pros

Os caminhos e a forma como o app apresenta os conteúdos é muito simples e tranquilo, o que eu acho muito legal, e torna o aprendizado bem tranquilo, você vai aprendendo e se forçando a cumprir os desafios e isso faz com que sem perceber aumente seu uso.A versão paga te dá a opção de vida ilimitada o que deixa o uso mais solto e ilimitado, e os lembretes são um graça a parte

Cons

Percebi que em muitos exercícios, mesmo quando escrevemos o texto corretamente, o app não aceita pois a grafia precisa ser exata ao que foi proposto, Ex: quando uma frase está we're e escrevemos como we are. Mesmo notificando não existe uma mediação sobre esses casos e também o suporte dentro do app não existe ( pelo menos não fica claro o caminho do mesmo)

### "Apprendre les langues facilement "

June 23, 2023

5.0

Avec Duolingo c’est possible de briser la barrière des langues.

Pros

Personnellement je l’utilise de façon gratuite et je trouve que l’application propose un programme assez complet. Des leçons faciles à comprendre, des exercices, des livres… je l’ai depuis 1 an et je suis très satisfaite.

Cons

J’apprécie moins le fait qu’il y ait une limite sur le nombres de langues à apprendre simultanément.

### "Una excelente opción para aprender o practicar idiomas."

July 25, 2023

5.0

Duolingo es una plataforma de aprendizaje de idioma muy versatil, ha permitido que los usuarios adscritos a la cuenta origen (plus/pro), avanzar en el conocimiento del idioma inglés (principalmente), siempre entendiendo que se trata de una apliación de aprendizaje autogestionado.

Pros

Es una aplicación (App) de aprendizaje de idiomas muy intuitiva, que te permite estudiar (al menos en experiencia) hasta tres idiomas, sin interrupción y sin anuncios (en su versión pro).

Cons

El portal del usuario (es decir donde estan los generales), es un tanto complicado, sobre todo en la administación de la suscripción.

### "Great way to learn the basics of a new language"

April 1, 2024

5.0

Pros

There's a great variety of languages available and I like that it offers a placement test if you're already a bit familiar with the language

Cons

Because I'm living in countries where I'm also learning the languages on Duolingo, I'm learning at a faster rate than the application and I find I eventually get bored at the level it put me at in the beginning as I've surpassed it with real-life learning and development. So I end up stop using the app. Would love to be offered a level placement reassessment for such cases.

### "Duolingo: an affordable and attractive tool for language learning"

October 25, 2021

3.0

Duolingo is a user-friendly and accessible language learning tool that allows autonomy and adapts to the learner's pace and availability. Allows the introverted learner a comfortable language learning experience.

Pros

easy to use, affordable and functional (including free version)

Cons

he app does not offer explanation of the grammar of languages, simulating mother tongue learning

### "Learning Spanish with Duolingo"

May 2, 2023

4.0

I enjoy using Duolingo because I can go through a group of sessions in a short time. It challenges you to have a streak of multiple days and gives you bonus points for accomplishing levels.

Pros

Duolingo has a fun approach to learning with characters, games and challenges. It is easier to learn than other language systems.

Cons

It is somewhat repetitive, asking for the same words over and over again. It forces you to write in the language which is not my primary focus for learning.

### "App Multilenguaje 100% dinámica"

October 5, 2022

5.0

No tengo ninguna queja en cuanto a su funcionalidad, me parece sumamente bien diseñado y útil para cualquier persona que quiera aprender desde cero un idioma o mejorar aun mas en sus conocimientos y practicar.

Pros

Su diseño en general es muy vistoso, sus tests y desafíos son muy atractivos y te mantienen siempre pendiente de mejorar. La mascota es muy carismática y ya es su marca registrada.

Cons

Lo único a destacar es que a veces si se pierde el ritmo de aprendizaje por unos días, se vuelve un constante spam de recordatorios en la casilla de correo.

### "Great Language Learning Software, But Riddled with Ads"

August 9, 2021

4.0

I have had a pretty good experience with Duolingo. It is a very effective software for language learning. It is easy to track your learning and the learning style is effective for teaching language content. I was able to apply my learning a lot faster using Duolingo as compared to other language learning software. Duolingo is available via a mobile app so you can take your courses with you anywhere. Courses are also very short so it's very easy to get a few done in a relatively short time, so perfect for learning over lunch breaks or other micro-learning sessions.

Pros

Duolingo is very easy to use and very effective. It uses immersion learning like Rosetta Stone but it's more guided. It eases you into the language you chose to learn. Gamification is good; it awards you frequently with gems to be used in the app for various perks. I have noticed that I was able to read content in my chosen learned language much faster using Duolingo than compared to Rosetta Stone. It's also very accessible in the form of a mobile app, so if you install it on your phone, it can go with you anywhere which makes learning much more accessible.

Cons

I don't like how many ads Duolingo makes you watch between lessons. It is distracting to the learning environment. It's not a problem if you subscribe to Duolingo Plus but the free version's ads are very distracting and not conducive to learning. It pushes you toward subscribing even if you don't necessarily want to.

Switched from

[Rosetta Stone Enterprise](https://www.capterra.com/p/210719/Rosetta-Stone-Enterprise/)

Rosetta Stone was too expensive. Duolingo gave me a powerful language learning software on my mobile device with an optional subscription so I don't have to spend a dime to learn a new language as long as I can deal with the amount of ads they make you watch for content access.

### "Imparare le basi di una lingua divertendosi"

January 31, 2023

4.0

Nel complesso Duolingo risulta un ottimo strumento per imparare da zero (o quasi) una nuova lingua in una maniera stimolante e non noiosa. Gli esercizi sono vari e la presenza delle sfide giornaliere spinge l'utente ad utilizzare il software quotidianamente come se fosse un gioco. Non ritengo però che questo programma sia particolarmente consigliato per l'approfondimento di una lingua a livelli superiori in quanto alcuni esercizi possono alla lunga risultare banali.

Pros

Rispetto ad altri programmi, Duolingo utilizza un approccio molto ludico ed informale per stimolare lo studio e l'apprendimento di una nuova lingua. Il percorso di apprendimento risulta mirato in base al tuo livello iniziale di conoscenza, misurato tramite un test iniziale.Una volta fatto ciò, Duolingo spinge l'utente a svolgere quotidianamente gli esercizi sfruttando un meccanismo di sfide che stimola a non abbandonare il corso.La funzione gratuita offre già di per sè un buon numero di funzionalità sufficienti ma per chi volesse approfondire ulteriormente le conoscenze in modo più intensivo risulta possibile abbonarsi alla versione Premium ad un prezzo comunque non eccessivo.Il programma allena simultaneamente le conoscenze grammaticali, di ascolti e di pronuncia.

Cons

Il maggiore limite che ho riscontrato personalmente durante l'utilizzo di Duolingo è che questo programma risulta perfetto per l'apprendimento di una nuova lingua partendo da un livello base ma non appare altrettanto efficace per il rafforzamento delle competenze su una lingua di cui si ha già una buona padronanza in quanto alcuni esercizi possono sembrare banali e poco stimolanti

### "Duolingo a Great Learning Software "

September 20, 2022

5.0

I have been using Duolingo to learn Spanish. And it's all awesome and fun to use. It's very easy to use. I love how my Spanish speaking have improved tremendously with Duolingo. And I am also learning other languages with it. It's really a great language learning software that anyone could use with 100% ease.

Pros

One feature I love is the gamification, how learning on Duolingo is so fun. I love I could learn more than one language on Duolingo and the learning paths is another great feature I love. Duolingo is the best language learning software I have ever used and still using.

Cons

No, there's no feature I don't love on Duolingo.

### "How to Master new language? Try Duolingo"

March 29, 2021

5.0

After using it for a couple years so far, I can say that I am more than satisfied with Duo, especially after I started learning German daily with the use of it ( currently I am at my 358 day with 234 crowns and I want more knowledge, more skills and of course more Duo ). I would like to see more improvments in Duolinguo and if possible, that they return as officially recognized by LinkedIn as well, as I would like to boost more my German, share it with my connections and eventually land a new and better job thanks to it.

Pros

I love that feeling of accomplishment after new skill was acquired or new level gained ( and crown for it too ). It teaches me the basics of some language and it is free too, but I would like to see even more chapters in future, as you can't get enough of it.

Cons

I don't like the new system with five hearts ( for five negative answers, after which you fail a lesson ), but I understand it is there in order for this platform to keep being free for everyone and because of that I don't mind it too much. In the other hand, I would like to get more things which can be bought in the Duolingo shop, maybe some new outfits for Duo and especially more advanced skills for languages.

### "Pratical and simple to learn a new language. "

September 9, 2021

4.0

The experience was good. It's a great tool to learn.

Pros

What fascinated me the most about Duolingo was the practicality and modernity of learning a new language. This is one step ahead of competitors by presenting a fun way to learn for all ages. The platform is nice, functional and doesn't need so much internet.

Cons

I believe that there could be new ways of evaluation. Duolingo's formula is great. But at some point it gets repetitive. So it is necessary to revolutionize this, make it attractive with new challenges and tests.

### "Excelente herramienta para aprender idiomas"

April 2, 2024

5.0

Una herramienta muy buena para aprender el idioma que desees. Con una excelente ejecucion y metodos de aprendizaje que están hechos para que sean lo mejor posibles para cada persona.

Pros

Su facilidad de uso es excelente, contiene muchas herramientas para ayudar a los estudiantes a mejorar y tener un seguimiento muy preciso de su estudio.

Cons

Creo que a niveles mucho mas avanzados del idioma, tal vez la herramienta se quede corta, pero son solo cosas especificas que dificilmente te va a enseñar una aplicacion.

### "Single app for different Language"

April 25, 2023

5.0

The overall experience was awesome, If anyone looking to learn new language this is the best application or platform which I recommend.

Pros

The good feature which is available was various language which can be explored and the certification for that languages.

Cons

The least I like was the voice pronunciation which was little bit needs to be improved to understand for beginner. At first I tried to learn German language I felt somewhat difficult to understand the pronunciation.

### "Duolingo a great app for learning a language on the go."

May 9, 2022

5.0

overall there is almost nothing to complain about for this app, yes it has paid services and some adds. but they are not straight in your face like other apps. In the long run I have used this app for over 3 years and I still use it .

Pros

\- a very easy to use app, download and sign up. - lots of languages to choose from - keeps track of progress and offers rewards for streaks

Cons

\- can get repetitive ion the end - the voices isn't all that great but does the job - paid services are in there and some adds to, but that's rather minor

### "Porque si y porque no de Duolingo"

July 4, 2023

4.0

Pros

Me gusta que es interactivo, y que te da las pronunciaciones de las palabras, y con ello se puede aprender y/o mejorar la pronunciación que creo yo es de las partes más complicadas del inglés.

Cons

No me ha gustado, que siento que es muy repetitivo, sirve para principiantes que desconocen por completo el idioma, pero para intermedios y avanzados siento que le falta un poco más de dificultad. Lo que me gusta es que puedes escuchar la pronunciación y eso es muy importante cuando se trabaja con principiantes, y además es muy fácil de utilizar en el aula.

### "My own experience."

March 29, 2024

It's completely free. Platform has a clean layout and straightforward interface, easy to use. As it looks a lot like a game, it is quite fun and almost addictive. It has motivation tools, such as the possibility of sharing results on Facebook, in addition to the rewards received.

Pros

What I like most about the Duolingo app is that the lessons are like a phase. This way it doesn't get boring to learn.

Cons

The only thing I like least is that there's no way to interact with anyone, but other than that, I think it's a good way to learn.

### "Duolingo makes learning new languages easy"

August 6, 2021

5.0

I live and work in an area where Spanish is spoken fluently. When I moved here, I didn't know a word of Spanish. Duolingo allowed me to gain enough confidence very quickly to have some basic conversations with those who speak only Spanish.

Pros

The thing I love most about Duolingo is that it allows barriers to be broken down between people of different cultures. It makes it easy to understand different languages and also some similarities.

Cons

I really can't think of a thing that I don't like about it. It's so easy to use and to see your progress.

March 11, 2022

5.0

Overall, it is my favorite language learning app. Everyone who I've introduced it to has enjoyed it, if not committed to using it to maintain language familiarity.

Pros

The smartphone app is really intuitive and efficient. The software is fun, and if you're not careful you might spend more time on it than you planned.

Cons

I struggle after several years of using the app. I think there could be better advanced learning algorithms and also some new learning games.

With duolingo I was able to learn two new languages, keep my focus on my studies and all for free, which for me made the difference.

Pros

I love duolingo in general since my first access, until today I still use it and recommend it to friends and family, because thanks to it I learned 2 new languages.

Cons

Over time, many advertisements have been added to the application, which makes the experience less comfortable, but I understand that it is necessary to keep education free.

### "In my opinion? this is THE BEST LANGUAGE LEARNING APP EVER! "

April 17, 2023

5.0

Personally, I have never used such a great language-learning app, everything here is amazing. Easy interface, cheerful colors, and entertaining games that make you not bored while learning, the app is like a game, unlike all other learning apps.

Pros

The features of the app are really so much! Perhaps the most important for me is its fun interface, ease of handling, attractive colors, and fun games while learning!

Cons

More encouragement and motivation while learning, I really like it :)Other than that, the app is amazing
