### "V good for learning basics "

December 29, 2023

5.0

Pros

It's all done really well, gamification done right, hitting all the dopamine receptors. V easy to practise reading and writing anywhere - though listening and speaking practice can be harder if you're in public. The most french I've ever learnt.

Cons

The main issue is there's a clear upper limit to how much you can learn with Duolingo. There seem to have been more ads when I've looked at it recently.

### "Duolingo "

November 11, 2022

5.0

Pros

Even my father who is extreme hater of learning languages is now using duolingo to learn English more than two years. I honestly can't believe what happened. I think it is how greatly the app is made.

Cons

I know you need money to keep going, but I hate that I have only 5 hearts on a day.

### "Learn with cub :)"

August 26, 2023

5.0

It doesn’t help you in reaching a high level of a language because it’s poor in grammar but it’s very useful to learn the lexicon, the vocabulary.

Pros

I used it to learn Spanish, especially the vocabulary. It helped me in practice in an amusing way.

Cons

At a certain point you have to pay to get a higher level.

### "App that addictive"

April 26, 2022

5.0

My experience with Duolingo was very addictive, when I saw myself, I was doing challenges in other languages ​​in my spare time. The app gives you the free option to choose some languages ​​and you can advance the challenges with fixation exercises.

Pros

1) The app is intuitive and easy to use. 2) The free version has a lot of activity and language. 3) You will learn as you advance through the levels. 4) The app encourages and reminds you to do the exercises every day. 5) Any spare time you have, you can learn while having fun. 6) Application with an attractive and fun layout. 7) There is also a placement test for you to start the course according to your proficiency.

Cons

I didn't have any problems with Duolingo, but I confess that the placement test could be shorter. Another thing that prevents it from being a complete course is the lack of interactivity with a native speaker of another language, but as it is a mobile application, it does what it proposes to do.

### "The easiest and fastest way to learn a new language"

July 22, 2021

5.0

Had a great experience overall, and have learned two knew languages so far.

Pros

I loved the interaction of the software on teaching you a new language. It will entertain you as you learn, which is always a plus.

Cons

Nothing, really. The software is great as is, or at least to me it is.

Reason for choosing Duolingo

It is the best option, easier to learn by, and produces faster results.

### "Best way to learn a foreign language"

May 20, 2023

5.0

I have used Duolingo several times to learn a foreign language. Once, I even studied for over a year every day without a break. I recommended it to a few friends, and they were also satisfied. It's a great solution for someone who prefers to learn on their own rather than with a native speaker or in a group.

Pros

Price (it's for free!), ease of use (the app guides you step by step by your hand), extensive language courses, UX of the app

Cons

Apart from minor mistakes in a few lessons (which I reported and which have been corrected), Duolingo works perfectly.

### "Aim to be bilingual with Duolingo"

February 14, 2022

5.0

Overall, this software is great to learn another language during your free time. There is no rush and you can use Duolingo at your own pace.

Pros

What I liked the most about this software is that it will always remind you daily to keep practicing what ever language you're learning. Their lessons range from the alphabet, words, sentence examples, and pronunciation.

Cons

What I feel that could be improved is adding a writing feature into it as well if someone is interesting writing out the language that they're learning.

### "Recommend it for refreshing the language "

August 25, 2021

5.0

Helpful and funny

Pros

I tried to learn German with duolingo and it really gave me flavor of the language. It’s good for starters but you really need to practice a lot. I like the gaming idea and the fact that gives the opportunity to learn some words related to a topic as a supplement. For example you can learn some vocabulary necessary for a date.

Cons

To learn a new language in reality you need to practice a lot, hear it more often and it is not limited to a vocabulary. The app might be considered an activity book for those who are studying a new language.

### "Per i ripassi..."

June 30, 2023

4.0

Pros

Duolingo è da sempre una delle app che più suggerisco per tenersi in forma a padroneggiare le varie lingue; non potrà mai sostituire un vero e proprio insegnante, ma può essere utile a rinfrescare la memoria e per imparare piccole frasi in caso di viaggi all'ultimo minuto.

Cons

Duolingo purtroppo è solamente adatto per chi vuole fare un ripasso, a mio avviso se non si hanno le vere e proprie basi potrebbe risultare difficile a lungo andare imparare davvero una lingua.

### "A fun way to learn new languages"

November 16, 2021

5.0

I really like Duolingo, the app is great, and I enjoy using it but, as a fast learner, every time I try to learn a new language on the platform I lose some motivation, since I feel I'm not making real progress.

Pros

Duolingo has turned learning languages into a fun, game-like experience. There are a lot of languages you can choose, and it makes it easy to practice at any time in any place. The lessons are short, and you can choose not to use the speaking function, in case you are in a place where you can't talk.

Cons

While it's a fun way to learn new languages, I find the process somewhat slow. I believe it's easy to lose some motivation to keep up, as you might feel you aren't making any real progress.

### "Excelência em idiomas em um único app "

August 1, 2023

5.0

No geral, é um app que contribui com o aprendizado, mais não seria exatamente uma plataforma de ensino!

Pros

Ferramentas que facilitam o aprendizado, em idiomas além do inglês, podendo estudar de qualquer lugar!

Cons

A falta de interação com professores, e algumas explicações mais específicas, em relação a gramática dos idiomas!

### "Have fun learning a new language"

March 16, 2023

4.0

At the beginning I only used the website, but as I progressed I realized that I needed to download the app on my cell phone to continue advancing, since I love the learning method used by the application, which in the end you don't feel it as an obligation but rather you have fun learning.

Pros

The application is easy to use, and you will earn points for each level you advance, which will motivate you to learn more and practice every day.

Cons

In some levels it is very repetitive so I suggest adding more vocabulary to increase the level of learning.

### "Good starting point but no customer service"

January 6, 2024

2.0

Good attempt at learning, but non-existent customer service gives this program a 2 thumbs down.

Pros

Looks easy, and interface seems simple enough. Lower price than other language learning courses, screens are generally not too busy and very clean. Somewhat easy to get around and straight forward clicking on tabs makes it more easy to use.

Cons

No customer service, they do not reply to questions. For example, I purchased a year with understanding I would not be required to purchase in-app tokens - this was not true, nor not mentioned before buying. Furthermore, after a few sessions, I wanted to cancel, but found out once you pay, you cannot get your money back. You have to wait one year before that can happen. Because there is no communication, if you fall for the sales pitch, your done.

### "Caruccia"

June 20, 2023

3.0

Pros

Duolingo è una di quelle applicazioni che a mio avviso sono sempre utili da avere, per il semplice motivo che le altre lingue non vengono spesso usate nel quotidiano, e almeno così uno fa ripasso.

Cons

Secondo me dovrebbero insegnare le cose per bene, magari con mini lezioni, anziché riempirti di frasi prefatte senza spiegare il perché (esempio) un verbo si coniughi così.

### "Easy language learning"

November 27, 2022

5.0

as not being talented with languages I decided to hack my brain to prove even I can learn a new language. Now I am on my 112 days strike path of learning Italian :)

Pros

easy to use, you can even learn for free with limited version which is already quite extensive for normal pace of learning

Cons

I dont like to be disturbed by advertisements - but you can my unlimited access without it and it is not expensive.
