Are you considering learning a second language? Thanks to technology, there’s never been a better time to master another language. All you need is your smartphone and an internet connection!

You might have heard of Duolingo, the app that makes learning fun and attractive. The app helps you stay motivated with frequent reminders and awards for progress. The adorable owl mascot guides you through your lessons, and suffers the consequences if you don’t stick with it.

What are the Benefits of using Duolingo?

  • Everything is free! — It is absolutely free, and you can access everything. And that’s what makes the most popular education learning platform on earth.
  • You can learn multiple languages simultaneously. — But I won’t suggest going over 1 or 2. Language learning requires a lot attention. Focusing on too many will make it harder for you to concentrate on anything.
  • Its fun! — The app is designed with a plenty of games in every lesson.

What are the disadvantages of using Duolingo?

  • It is only good for beginners — If you’re serious about learning a foreign language, Duolingo does NOT stand on its own.
  • You can only learn some vocabulary and phrases.

Summary

Duolingo is the most well-known language learning app. But, it is mostly meant to learn the beginners level skills.
