Editors’ Choice
One of our favourite apps for learning another language, the process is genuinely fun. What’s more, all those languages and games are available for free!
It’s the most polished app out there I have found, for learning languages. I’ve tried Mondly, a buggy mess and it really doesn’t help correct your mistakes and repeat them correctly. Unlike duolingo. I’ve tried other ones as well. I uninstalled it after being barely usable or really teaching me anything. Teaching comes with repeating and Mondly hasn’t realized it. Instead it blasts you with new words every day and you’re supposed to learn them all.Busuu? Same more or less, buggy and doesn’t take account your pace. It takes you with its own pace.But duolingo takes this in the pace you want and you can even compete or get rewards and points which makes it even more rewarding.Zero bugs encountered so far which I definitely did not expect. And the model of learning is the best I found along with the HelloChinese app. HelloChinese really has some huge similarities with DuoLingo in how it makes you repeat the words just in case you don’t remember them or to remember them correctly and better. And bugs also zero and takes you with your own pace and you don’t over learn words.So I’ve had my couple of experiences with Learning languages apps. And I only have two to name which are on the scale of being actually useful to really learn a language.
i’ve been using duolingo since 2023. back then, it was awesome. it was fun, it was helpful, just overall a great, free learning app that i (and others) greatly benefited from. then, they got caught using AI (i think about a year or two ago?) and lost a lottt of users. that wasn’t a good move from them. now, there’s speculation that a lot of what they teach isnt even accurate (since AI makes mistakes) and, you know, a lot of people are against using AI for that sort of thing. which i agree. moving on, i stopped using duolingo for a bit before redownloading it and ive got a question. WHY in the world would you take the hearts away and replace it with “energy”? they want people to use super duolingo to get unlimited energy and they get money (greed😭) but dude, many people aren’t gonna get super duolingo. so youre not gonna get as much money as you want AND youre gonna lose users because you can only do like two lessons before your “energy” runs out and then you’ve gotta wait hours. atp you don’t even care about teaching, you just want money, and many companies get ruined once people find that out (like roblox for example) and thats already happened to you ONCE with the AI thing. just bring the hearts back🤷 and dont get me wrong, i like the app, that aspect just pmo.
Been using this app both as free version and pro (paid) version at times for French and German. Three important issues:- On hearing exercises many times the ‘slow’ feature doesn’t work and you can hear the fast phrase on both buttons. Also many times word matching exercises have errors: when there are two synonyms of one word in the same exercise, you must match them specifically in two pairs.- Just today I seem to be getting a message every time I log in. This says that my streak is lost and that I should pay to reinstall my streak.. but this happened 2 days ago and I have paid the 5,49eur to fix it ( which by the way is a very high amount for something like this) I was then at day 43 and now I’m in day 45 and still get the message.. asking me to pay again when at the same time I have activated the streak freeze feature anyway so there is absolutely no reason for this to happen.- I’m trying to reach customer support but can’t seem to find a contact email/ live chat/ number anywhere in the app or the developer’s website. Don’t you think that a live chat support feature should be available for your users?
Our mascot owl, Duo, is trading in his usual diet of mice for bugs this week. Yup, we’re squashing those pesky bugs to make the experience better for all of you.
