### "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.

### "Fun and easy to learn tool."

June 4, 2024

5.0

The learning trails keep me hooked at every stage. I learn quickly, practically and with fun. I like it a lot.

Pros

An app that's like a language school. It's easy to learn, and it's fun, because the stages and the learning path keep you hooked on the app.

Cons

The cost could be a little lower, but I understand, because as I said, the learning is comparable to face-to-face schools. It's just as good. But because it's an app, it could be cheaper.

### "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.

### "Una aplicación fácil para practicar idiomas"

October 15, 2021

5.0

Me ha ayudado para repasar o como complemento de algunos cursos de idiomas, es muy bueno para poder practicar y aprender algunas cosas nuevas.

Pros

Es una aplicación muy fácil, interactiva e intuitiva de usar, te puede enseñar desde lo básico hasta cosas más avanzadas, con ayuda de imágenes, audios y textos fáciles de entender, puedes practicar la pronunciación, la idea de las ligas hace que te pongas algunas metas para mejorar y superarte, y la sección de "Cuentos de Duolingo" me parece una muy buena herramienta para poder escuchar conversaciones de situaciones reales.

Cons

Algunas notificaciones pueden ser molestas y vienen activadas, también que algunas opciones para aprender algunos idiomas no están en la lengua materna y se requiere de un idioma extra.

### "What is my experience with Duolingo?"

May 29, 2021

4.0

It's very well, In my experience is excellent for start to learn a language. But I think is necessary more things for be absolutely professional.

Pros

I loved it, because you can practice a new language writing, listening, spelling and all together. Also, the sections are organize for you keep learning daily. I like when send you a notification for study a new lesson, and how is easy for keep as a routine.

Cons

Well, In Duolingo you can obtain gems for buy some extras resources such as themes, and gadgets; sometimes, Is expensive and you can't buy it. And the plus version quit ads, and give you more facilities for lessons. but I don't think is necessary for the price. Another problems is the level of languages. For be C1 (advanced) Duolingo isn't enough.

### "A relatively cheap and easy way to learn new languages to communicate around the world."

September 18, 2023

5.0

My experience was spectacular, I even recommend it to many people, as this method is equivalent to immersion in the language, and is not tiring.

Pros

Despite knowing English, I started from the basics, and I was able to observe that it is a very efficient method of learning new languages, and I even recommended it to many people.

Cons

I understand that the method involves a lot of memorization, but at the basic level I think there is a lot of repetition.

### "Duolingo is great for learning basics"

June 9, 2021

5.0

Great time killer and good foundation to learn basics of a language.

Pros

Great combination of listening exercises, flashcards and multiple choice questions. Most questions have comment section, where users discuss about particular question.

Cons

Ads after every lesson and energy system is what repels me from learning. No grammar explanation and if you want to be fluent in a language, this app won't be enough.
