Duolingo is an amazing app overall, perfect for quick bites of learning lessons that are fun, interactive, and motivating. With leaderboards, I’m always encouraged to try a lesson. There are many varieties, with chess matches ailable for the chess course, on-keyboard songs for music, and hanzi + pinyin for Chinese, including many more! The graphics are visually appealing, with diverse character personas to create an atmosphere of fun for everyone! The only reason I cut a star for this rating is because of the Super privileges. Most people started out as hobby learners, who don’t want to or can’t pay for it. It isn’t fair that their learning is stunted because of this. Some things are understandable, but not being able to he free legendary levels and speaking + listening exercises is quite disappointing, along with ads on almost every single lesson, which take up too much time. My overall opinion is that Duolingo is really great, but I would like it if some things were more ailable towards non-super learners! edit: I’m going to he to bring this down from four to three stars- everything was going well till energy was added, which might he been the worst decision yet. True, it does help learners with mistakes. But only 25 energy? There could he at least been a choice, rather than every user being converted to a system where you can only do a lesson or two a day, even the ones that were absolutely fine with the 5-heart system.
