### "Duolingo "

August 5, 2021

4.0

It was a wonderful and amazing experience. I recommend it to everyone who wants to learn languages ​​quickly, thanks to him. My ambition has increased and I plan to learn the fourth language from this professional application

Pros

Because I love languages ​​and I do not have enough money to do paid courses, I chose the Duolingo application with the aim of learning the Italian language. It contains a variety of pictures, audios, messages.., etc.

Cons

As for the negatives, it does not contain many negatives, except for: the need to connect to the Internet to get lessons, and there are some repetitions in the lessons and content

### "Applicazione di lingue."

July 4, 2023

5.0

L'esperienza complessiva è più che positiva, solo da curare la ripetizione delle frasi in un numero limitato, per il resto è un app che consiglierei a chiunque volesse imparare le lingue.

Pros

Questa applicazione l'ho scaricata per apprendere le basi della lingua inglese principalmente, ma ha una vasta scelta di lingue, quello che mi ha colpito di Duolingo è il fatto che ti fa apprendere le lingue su più livelli e il tempo che vuoi dedicare, tutto in maniera gratuita, inoltre l'interfaccia grafica è ben curata e anche simpatica da vedere.

Cons

Quello che andrebbe curato è il fatto che a volte le frasi si ripetono più volte, capisco che serve per apprendere, ma sarebbe meglio limitarle .

### "Language learning for free "

December 5, 2020

5.0

I think it is a great addition to Duolingo, which works well for tracking progress.

Pros

It enables my language teacher to track my progress and helps to keep you motivated in learning your language.

Cons

Duolingo has recently changed things so that you need to buy Duolingo Plus to keep taking lessons if you run out of hearts.

Very interseting and useful experience.

Pros

It is user friendly. it has many teaching tools, visual and verbal.

Cons

for some traget languages, the learner should know English so that they can learn the target lanugae. for example if the user can speak only Arabic, they cannot learn CHinese, they should know English

November 12, 2022

4.0

Pros

I have never progressed faster in casually learning a language than I have with this app.

Cons

Not everyone can maintain a daily streak longer than a few days due to life schedules. It would be nice to have some more options for streaks with that in mind.

4.0

Overall Duolingo provides a great way for anyone who wishes to start learning something new or learn more of what we already know.

Pros

Duolingo provides a great platform to learn any language of your choice and at your choosen pace and skill level. The advanced test and learning interactive videos are a plus.

Cons

Could add more languages and local references for better understanding. The packages could also be reduced for some services.

### "The gateway app to new languages"

May 30, 2021

5.0

Duolingo is definitely the best online learning material you will find to learn new languages. The app specializes in learning what is necessary and does it fast, fun and effectively.

Pros

Duolingo is very easy to use and the user interface is very understandable. The lessons are planned very precisely to ensure a very effective learning process, so that the user does not get confused about fundamentals in the language they are learning. You can learn more than one language at once, and your process is shown to you, so that you know how far you still need to go and to help stay motivated. You can talk to other people and even AI for good practice in the language you are currently learning. The app has a reminder to keep your learning momentum going every day.

Cons

A lot of the lessons are repetitive and they tend to get boring when you want to put in a longer learning session. The feature that tests and approves your pronunciation of some words does not always work perfectly.

### "Eficaz y amigable"

October 6, 2021

5.0

Estando de teletrabajo, la opción de interactuar con otras personas ha decrecido drasticamente y con ello la oportunidad de practicar la pronunciación en otro idioma. Aunque no reemplaza la interacción humana, si ayuda a mantenerse y no perder el nivel que se tiene.

Pros

Duolingo ofrece un amplio catalogo de idiomas para practicar. Una de las caracteristicas que más utilizo y me gusto, es la posibilidad de avanzar en un nivel luego de pasar varias etapas sin fallas. También, tienen la opción de practicar las palabras en las cuales tuvistes errores.

Cons

Pocas veces, pero si existen fallos en los cuales la aplicación no registra lo que estás diciendo. Ocurre muy poco, pero cuando sucede cuesta avanzar hacia la siguiente lección.

### "Andres' Review"

April 19, 2021

5.0

Duolingo is a wonderful app. I've used it many years now, and I have recommended the app to various people as well. I usually tell people about Duolingo if they want to learn English.

Pros

Duolingo is a fun and easy to use app. It's great if you want to learn basic words in a new language. I used it to learn some words in Portuguese before traveling to Brazil and it really helped.

Cons

The only thing that I personally do not like about Duolingo, is that it can be very tedious at times.

### "Duolingo lowkey OP"

September 8, 2022

5.0

Pros

What I love about duolingo is that you can learn multiple languages and the variety of languages you can learn are pretty good. In terms of relitive languages that is. Personally a few months ago I did 10 minutes of basic russian phrases on duolingo and I still remember about half of them. That being said if I were to commit 30 mins a day or 20 mins a day into duolingo it could actually be pretty helpful with learning a language. Most importantly it's free which is just amazing. Why is it free? I dont know. But i'm certainly not complaining

Cons

What I like least about Duolingo is probably that I can't learn my home language which is 'Shona'. It's not a big deal but it just means I can't speak my origins but duolingo is really good anyways

### "Simple, but very effective way to learn a new language"

August 2, 2022

5.0

When I first started using Duolingo, I made a goal of doing at least one lesson a day. I kept up with the goal for maybe half a year. After that, I would go on occasionally, but other games caught my attention. It is a very good learning tool. I think it just needs something to keep the users attention and make them want to keep coming back.

Pros

I like how easy it is to use and how it is constantly reviewing previously learned words and phrases as well as constantly adding new ones. I also like how you can move at your own pace.

Cons

If anything, I would say they could improve the game aspect of the app for motivational reasons.

Formación en idiomas de forma ágil, dinámica y entretenida.

Pros

Es un software muy fácil de utilizar. El diseño es bastante amigable e invita a que, sin que te des cuenta, hagas bastantes ejercicios del idioma que desees aprender.

Cons

En ocasiones los ejercicios se hacen algo repetitivos, aunque no lo considero negativo del todo ya que ayuda a asentar bien lo aprendido.
