### "app eccezionale per l'apprendimento di nuove lingue"

October 12, 2024

4.0

Duolingo e' un software eccezionale per l'apprendimento delle lingue e te lo fa fare in modo coinvolgente e divertente. ha una struttura ben organizzata e una vastita molto ampia di lingue disponibili per l'apprendimento comprese lingue meno conosciute o piu complesse da studiare. la consiglio caldamente a tutti quelli che sono interessati per hobby o per lavoro all'apprendimento di nuove lingue

Pros

Duolingo offre una ampia varieta' di lingue disponibili per l'apprendimento e non parlo solo delle lingue che si imparano a scuola come l'inglese, lo spagnolo e il francese ma anche di lingue meno comuni come potrebbero essere il russo o il giapponese. L'app utilizza elementi di gamification per rendere l'apprendimento delle lingue un'esperienza divertente. da provare se si e' interessati ad apprendere nuove lingue

Cons

pur essendo ottima per apprendere una base di lingua, e' meno indicato per chi volesse impararla in maniera piu avanzata. l'applicazione purtroppo non beneficia di un gran supporto per la pronuncia che potrebbe essere sviluppato in maniera piu approfondita

### "Learn English without having to make any effort."

September 7, 2024

5.0

It has helped me a lot to make progress with my english. The learning process is really engaging, and it not only helps with writing and reading in other languages but also with correct pronunciation. I find it incredibly comprehensive.

Pros

It is very easy to use. User friendly. Moreover you can use it in your phone. You don't need a computer

Cons

If you have an advanced level on the language, maybe it is not the best for you

### "Not great no customer service"

January 25, 2025

1.0

After a year with it I’m not impressed at all.

Pros

Fun gamification learning environment. Cute but ultimately useless format.

Cons

App has issues like no sound on listening exercises. Words reviews continually repeats the same words with little advancement. There’s no support or customer service.

### "Aggiornamenti disastrosi: addio Duolingo"

September 23, 2024

2.0

Ho iniziato a usare Duolingo con grande entusiasmo. Il formato delle lezioni, basato su giochi e ripetizioni, era davvero efficace per memorizzare nuove parole e frasi. La gamification mi spingeva a raggiungere nuovi traguardi e a migliorare continuamente. Tuttavia, dopo gli ultimi aggiornamenti, la mia motivazione è drasticamente diminuita. Il sistema di progressione è diventato troppo rigido e punitivo, e la mancanza di flessibilità rende difficile adattarsi al proprio ritmo di apprendimento. Inoltre, trovo che l'app si concentri troppo sugli aspetti grammaticali e meno sulla conversazione, che è fondamentale per acquisire una lingua straniera.

Pros

Prima della modifica, era la mia app preferita, la utilizzavo tutti i giorni.

Cons

Da quando ho effettuato l'ultimo aggiornamento, la mia esperienza con Duolingo è radicalmente cambiata in peggio. La nuova funzionalità che azzera tutti i livelli al primo errore è estremamente demotivante e controproducente.

### "Duolingo is Like a Fun Game"

October 28, 2024

5.0

Duolingo is the great tool for the new language leaners. Handy, Helpful and Fun!

Pros

Awesome software to learn and practice foreign languages. I have used this tool for practicing English and now I am using it for practicing Spanish. It is well worked on the phone so I can practice anything I want whenever and wherever I have a phone with me! Duolingo makes me feel like learning a language is a game, which keeps me interested in it.

Cons

I have had a really great time with Duolingo, no complaints! If you are satisfied with a free account, but feel you want to enjoy more features, I recommend you to try to use the Super Duolingo - which costs $7.99 per a month, $47.99 per a year! Totally worth it.

### "A fun way to improve language"

December 3, 2024

5.0

Pros

A fun and easy way to improve conversational language

Cons

It doesn't really teach grammar, so it's not great for learning a new language from scratch. It is better for learning new vocabulary

### "Great App for Easy Learning"

September 26, 2024

5.0

I used Duolingo to help converse with my Portuguese in-laws and also our trip to Portugal. I practiced for about two months prior to our trip with Duolingo. I felt reasonably comfortable reading menus and speaking Portuguese when needed on my trip.

Pros

I liked that Duolingo used basics to build upon. I also liked the speaking portion of the review so that you know if you are pronouncing words properly.

Cons

I only used the free application, and felt sometimes frustrated by the limitations of repeating an exercise I had difficulty passing.

### "Duolingo Thoughts"

March 21, 2025

4.0

I think my experience overall was positive. It helped me reach my goal of learning Spanish.

Pros

I really felt that it helped me learn Spanish before I traveled abroad. I enjoyed that it had different sections such as clothing, foods, travel, etc. to help you learn specific information you would be using for whatever you are learning a new language for.

Cons

The app was extremely pushy through its notifications. I received angry notifications if I did not complete Spanish that day, as well as some creepy/weird notifications such as "what's wrong babe?" It was very odd and did not make me want to go back into the app.

### "Uniquement un abonnement d'une année "

August 10, 2024

3.0

La première année a conforté mes connaissances en espagnol ; la deuxième année n'a plus aucun intérêt.

Pros

Assez bien conçu pour débuter en espagnol. Bien sûr on arrive rapidement sur la complexité de la grammaire. Est-ce vraiment utile pour simplement se débrouiller en espagnol et donc en Espagne ?

Cons

La première année est très agréable et on a le sentiment d'avancer. La deuxième année est une catastrophe ! Les mêmes leçons reviennent sans cesse à 80/90% identiques ! Pour avancer un tant soit peu, on doit refaire quasiment tout le sicle ! Une horreur ! J'attends avec impatience la fin de mon abonnement.

### "Forced to Learn!"

October 22, 2024

5.0

Overall, it's positive. I'm forced to learn.

Pros

I like (but also hate at the same time) the fact that they have a learning streak... I'm currently on 1488 days.

Cons

I hate that I'm forced to study at least every two days (with a learning streak freeze used). I don't know what I'd do I it went down to 0 days! I know it's good for me to study everyday but I mean come on, like I said, yu can't have two days off.

### "Great tool Duolingo"

October 21, 2024

5.0

Great, enjoying a lot in my journey of learning the Spanish language.

Pros

It's a perfect tool to learn new language and it's skills

Cons

Some lessons repeat phrases and expressions used, but maybe it's a good thing as it ensures that the word is learnt, I don't really have a bad words to say about Duolingo as it's a great tool to learn

### "Ganz schlechte App in der kostenlosen Version"

January 13, 2025

1.0

Pros

gar nichts, App ist sooooooooo langsam, das ist wohl beabsichtigt um Leute ins Abo zu zwingen. In der Abo version läuft die App problemlos, Komisch nicht wahr????

Cons

in der kostenlosen Version ist die App laaaaaangsam, es macht keinen Spass damit zu lernen. Mein Partner hat ein Abo, das funktioniert schnell. Feedbacks werden nicht beantwortet, sie ändern auch nicht, also braucht man auch kein feedback schreiben.

It is easy to follow and easy to use. It also allows you to learn a variety of languages

### "Duolingo, language learning app."

September 15, 2024

5.0

Duolingo is great, I speak French, but I continue to use Duolingo daily so I can learn new words. My parents speak French and they tend to say words that I'm unsure of, but with a Duolingo lesson, I'm a star at speaking French.

Pros

I like that I was able to learn a language or some words from a language that I wanted to learn. What I also really liked most about Duolingo was the reminders that they give you if you miss a day or two.

Cons

You can only learn some words and some vocabulary and it's not really accurate to how the language could be spoken today. Another thing is that Duolingo focuses more on English speakers.

### "Spielerisches Lernen für Anfänger mit großer Sprachauswahl"

November 21, 2024

5.0

Pros

Duolingo hat eine große Sprachauswahl und kurze, leicht integrierbare Lektionen. Es bietet kostenlosen Zugang, personalisierte Lernpfade und motivierende Gemeinschaftsfunktionen. Es ist ideal für Anfänger und Gelegenheitslerner, mit Einschränkungen für fortgeschrittenes Lernen.

Cons

Für fortgeschrittenes Lernen ist die Software leider begrenzt und es liegt ein starker Fokus auf Wiederholungen statt Grammatik. Zudem werden teils unnatürliche Satzbeispiele genutzt und manche könnte die Werbung in der kostenlosen Version stören.

O Duolingo foi o único aplicativo de aprendizagem de idiomas que conseguiu me fazer manter a frequência de estudos. Estudo inglês todos os dias, ao menos um pouco e com isso mantenho sempre contato com a língua. É o aplicativo que mais indico para aprender idiomas

Pros

A possibilidade de aprender idiomas de forma fácil e divertida.

Cons

Que alguns recursos muito interessantes só existem na versão paga

### "Duolingo a oublié la grammaire française"

November 5, 2024

2.0

Intéressant pour le vocabulaire et la construction des phrases dans la langue étrangère mais je déconseille pour la traduction et donc la construction des phrase en Français. N'est-il pas dommage d'apprendre une langue étrangère et de déconstruire la grammaire de sa propre langue.

Pros

Utile pour l'acquisition de vocabulaire mais à déconseiller pour les traductions et la grammaire françaises.

Cons

En ce qui concerne les cours pour l'espagnol la grammaire française est mal respectée dans les traductions. Il ne s'agit pas d'un bon français.
