My German language class teacher told me to use the Duolingo app. This is the best app ever I used to learn a language. Highly recommended to everyone. You can gain the premium version for some days by completing lessons and opening reward chests. This is super cool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes in talking lessons, the app does not recognize my voice. It's the only problem I faced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Engaging interface, diverse languages, and bite-sized lessons make language learning accessible and enjoyable with its interactive approach and immediate feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Repetitive exercises, limited speaking practice, an emphasis on gamification over deep learning, and sometimes awkward or unnatural sentence examples. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to use, good interface, fun to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
For Japanese there are few explanations about the intricacies of the language, including grammar.
There is no explanation about how and when to use polite/formal forms vs informal.
The examples are sometimes unnatural in Japanese and sometimes the English reflects the Japanese too much.
Japanese often uses 'teach' which in English should be 'show', but that is not explained.
Also why would the computer version give you 3 hearts/chances when the mobile version gives you 5? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.


The app is user-friendly and quite easy to navigate which makes it ideal for newbies.
It also uses gamification to make language learning fun and entertaining. Users can earn points, level up, and unlock new content as they progress.

Duolingo may teach simplified and formal language, which does reflect the nuances and complexities of real-world language use. The platform also have limited vocabulary, which may not be sufficient for advanced language learning seeking specialized language and communication skills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Their format is in a quiz form and it helps you to pick up grammar and vocabulary quickly. You also get to make sentences and learn grammar in a fun and easy way to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing that I can remotely think of, it works well for me. I have so far managed to go through all their levels of learning and master the basics of the language that I choose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Duolingo is one of the best platforms to learn a new language it provides multiple questions to study the language whichever the users want to learn. It has a variety of different tools and techniques which helps you to repeat and revise everything you practice daily. It also reminds you every day to give small tests and measure your progress.

The software is great for learning a new language but I haven't got its desktop version which can be a little difficult for pc users. I have also noticed that the app doesn't work offline and needs a good Internet connection. The app can be optimised for users a little bit by providing more relevant practice content.

Duolingo is an easy and fun way of learning a language. It is a playful app/game that keeps you motivated to learn a language and removes the barrier to language learning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It can be a bit repetitive and not represent real situations that can be translated into the real world. I would like it to have more languages so I can combine Serbian (my native language) with a new language I would like to learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
