### "Good for Dabbling "

June 2, 2024

4.0

Pros

The ease of use is the first highlight of this app. The second would be how the app, at least to some extent, ensouls the process of learning a completely foreign and new language.

Cons

There is an insistence on keeping things fun while learning, which is great, but there is also a lack of depth beyond a certain level of learning. This dilutes the commitment to learning and practicing in the short term.

### "interesting way to learn a language instead of studying"

June 10, 2024

4.0

Pros

Using an interesting way to learn languages, like playing a game and completing missions to have a huge sense of achievement.

Cons

Some of the learning are not really practical, it'll be better if the lessons are actually useful to learn how to communicate to people.

### "Me Robaron"

May 21, 2024

2.0

Me siento muy decepcionado, fui un cliente fiel, por más de 3 años que vengo usando la app y sin ningún problema, y ahora que decido comprar el plan familiar, me viene a pasar esto. Compre el plan que decía S/.274.90 me cobraron S/:339.4, hicieron la cancelación sin haberla pedido y solo me regresaron S/.216.29. Tengo prueba de todo. Intento comunicarme para que me ayuden, pero es más complicado que hablar con el presidente. No sé a donde acudir por ayuda. Pésimo Servicio.

Pros

Creía tener muchas, pero me equivoqué por lo que he pasado. La parte Gratuita sirve mucho

Cons

Al cambiarte a un plan, pueden sacarte dinero sin que te des cuenta

### "Cosa può dare Duolingo?"

June 21, 2024

5.0

Nel complesso ho avuto un ottima esperienza con Duolingo, semplice da comprendere e utile per la comprensione di diverse lingue. Consigliato a tutti.

Pros

Ottimo per conoscere e scoprire nuove lingue o per migliorare quelle già conosciute. Molto semplice da utilizzare e concetti spiegati in maniera intelligente. A tratti anche divertente da utilizzare.

Cons

Purtroppo non mi è piaciuta molto la funzionalità delle "vite" e quasi l'obbligo di acquistare una versione premium per usufruire dell'applicazione al meglio.

dans l'ensemble l'application est bien inspirer et tres pratique pour démarrer dans l'apprentissage de la langue, il te donne les bases pour t'améliorer.

Pros

cette application m'a beaucoup aidée à améliorer ma compréhension écrite en Anglais. pour avoir les bases et parler couramment cette langue qui était devenue un peu difficile pour moi au file du temps.

Cons

je suis de nature paresseuse donc aller sur Duolingo tout les jours je ne le faisais pas et j'avais des notification. aussi lorsque tu ne trouves pas bonne réponses tu recommence ou tu perds les points.

### "User Friendly but Limited Variety"

August 12, 2024

3.0

Pros

Easy to use app, very familiar to most users

Cons

The range of languages seems limited compared to other apps, with resources being dedicated to fictional languages over real, existing ones!

### "Intuitive, Effective and FUN"

June 24, 2024

5.0

Pros

This app is BRILLIANT for language learning. It breaks down the process into very consumable steps, gamifies the process so the user is motivated to learn, and repeats skills you have mastered to ensure they stick long term. This app is great for all ages and languages!

Cons

I would say that the paid component of the app can be frustrating. If you fail too many times in the free version you are locked out of the game. However, if I'm honest, the app offers so much value it is worth the money.

Pros

What I like most about Duolingo is its practicality and the simple, objective way of learning the language.

### "Language learning "

June 27, 2024

4.0

Pros

Super easy to use and fun. Only 15 minutes a day. You need to stay motivated.

Cons

I wasn't really dedicated. There is nothing really wrong with it. I wanted to learn a language to talk to with family but wasn't going to around them a ton.

### "A total decimation of a once great learning tool"

May 5, 2024

1.0

Pros

If you have a base knowledge of the language its okay to use to keep fresh

Cons

Straight up capitalistic practices. Removing several features. Charging a crazy amount for them. Continously advertising their own product. This is just the 10k foot review. As a long time user I'm very very disappointed in the direction of this once great app

June 5, 2024

5.0

Pros

I like the fact that even with the free version, you have access to a lot of content. And its easy to use as I also let my 10 yr old daughter using it to learn english. Very good tool for any age.

Cons

The only downfall is you are stuck if you make more than a certain amount of errors. You have to wait the next day, or you have to pay.

### "Voor slechthorenden héél moeilijk te gebruiken."

June 16, 2024

4.0

Leuk en leerzaam, maar frustrerend voor slechthorenden.

Pros

De opbouw zit goed in elkaar. Zonder theoretische achtergrond leer je door herkenning en gewenning toch het juiste.

Cons

De luisteroefeningen zijn voor slechthorenden een crime. Vooral bij de zware mannenstem bij Frans is weinig onderscheid te horen en maak je dus onnodig fouten.

### "Easy and helpful "

May 13, 2024

4.0

Very satisfied with my learning results, in 2 years that I use it, not very committed though, I have learned how to speak simple and easy dialogues.

Pros

It is very easy to learn how to speak some every-day phrases and words. Also, it helps with the pronunciation and listening.

Cons

It doesn't quite show the grammar explanations of words and tenses, you just memorize them. Also, the stories are "woke" pushed and this context shouldn't be available to young children who just want to learn some words of a foreign language.

### "Easy to use for vocabulary learning."

July 25, 2023

4.0

Pros

I like that Duolingo has multiple foreign language choices and is in constant expansion. Its gamification makes it fun, but it keeps its simplicity. This app is nice as a complement to your language classes!

Cons

Duolingo helps you learn vocabulary by reading and repeating (written or verbal) different phrases; however, those phrases are not used on a daily basis. Therefore, the app is nice as a complement to other apps, but it will not help you get fluent by itself.

### "Duolingo - Excelente plataforma de aprendizado"

August 1, 2023

5.0

Tem sido uma experiência surpreendente, tem me ajudado muito.

Pros

omo usuário do Duolingo, eu amo aprender um novo idioma de forma divertida e interativa. Os exercícios são variados e englobam vocabulário, compreensão oral e escrita. Além disso, eu me sinto motivado pela gamificação do aplicativo, com seus níveis, pontuações e recompensas. A flexibilidade de estudar quando e onde quiser usando meu smartphone ou computador é incrível. E o melhor de tudo é que posso aprender vários idiomas de forma gratuita, o que é muito acessíve

Cons

O que menos gostei foi a limitação de exercícios gratuitos disponíveis por dia.

### "duolingo: imparare lingue divertendosi"

September 6, 2023

4.0

esperienza piacevole e validissima, mi ha fatto imparare le basi del francese, cosa che provando a fare da sola ho sempre finito per annoiarmi o comunque non imparare in autonomia nemmeno un decimo di ciò che ho fatto grazie a questo servizio.

Pros

i vantaggi di duolingo sono sicuramente la facilità d'uso, la grafica piacevole per gli occhi, la qualità delle informazioni con cui è stato sviluppato, la struttura ludica che ti invoglia a non fermarti e a perseguire dei mini obiettivi di volta in volta, il fatto che puoi farlo anche in compagnia da remoto aggiungendo degli amici in duolingo stesso, ammirabile anche il fatto che si concentra su tutti e 4 i pilastri necessari ad imparare una lingua (scrittura, lettura, ascolto e pronuncia)

Cons

ritengo che un grosso neo per duolingo attualmente è il fatto che la grammatica comunque per certi aspetti (come ad esempio i verbi irregolari in inglese) può risultare difficile da imparare tramite duolingo che ha un approccio molto più pratico che teorico, soprattutto in lingue con grammatica complessa come l'italiano.duolingo inoltre sebbene può aiutarti molto soprattutto per iniziare, poi va ripreso ogni tanto in mano per ripassare perchè senza ripetizione le cose vengono dimenticate col tempo e poi se si vuole arrivare a livelli di madrelingua non può bastare solo duolingo

### "Duolingo: melhor ferramenta para se aprender idiomas!"

May 10, 2023

5.0

Eu conheci o aplicativo depois de fazer curso em escolas convencionais. Senti que aumentei meu vocabulário e minha compreensão, principalmente em inglês, depois que comecei a usar o Duolingo. Além disso, o aplicativo me ajuda com a pratica do idioma e me possibilitou começar a aprender francês, que era meu sonho.

Pros

O aplicativo Duolingo é uma ferramenta única e completa, que possibilita aprender vários idiomas com lembretes para se manter a constancia nos estudos e oferece também um acompanhamento do progresso do aprendizado. Isso tudo é um grande facilitador e serve de estimulo para quem quer aprender uma nova língua, mas não sabe por onde começar.

Cons

A única questão que poderia ser melhorada no aplicativo seria aumentar um pouco o nível dos testes nas ultimas etapas e disponibilizar o aprendizado de outras línguas (exemplo: italiano) no idioma português. Hoje ele é disponibilizado em inglês e as vezes sinto dificuldade de aprender por não saber tanto de inglês ainda.

### "Great way to start learning a language, but shouldn't be your only learning source!"

March 2, 2023

5.0

Duolingo is overall a great piece of software to start your language learning journey, but ultimately it will need to be supplemented or supplanted by other resources to learn a language properly. Worth giving it a go to learn the basics of a language (or three!), especially for the gamification elements.

Pros

Gamification keeps me engaged, and I can work with my friends too! Lots of language options. The listening exercises are very productive, and the scenario based sentences are great. It's a super way to start the language learning process with simple vocabulary and sentences.

Cons

Though they justify it as not strictly needed for adult language learning, basic grammar is missing from Duolingo lessons and it's hard to pick up a lot of the implied grammar rules. This includes tenses, conjugation, gender rules, etc. The app has quite a lot of ads so I tend to use the desktop version primarily; especially because I've had some software issues with the mobile app.
