What do you like best about Duolingo?

Step-by-step language learning. Different options to learning a language. XP for completing lessons. Simple, pleasing interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Duolingo?

Sometimes lessons are really repetitive, which I understand is great for language learning but can be monotonous for app-based learning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The first language app that is fun to use and accessible to all!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Duolingo?

The gamification system is definitely a plus to remain motivated (and the best I've come across so far)!

The stories help you learn idiomatic expressions and words.

Even if the learning system is not perfect, you get to memorize words and phrases in a fun way. I will admit it is easier to learn Indo-European languages than Asian languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Duolingo?

Sometimes the sound of dialogues in the Story section doesn't play on my mobile apps.

The web experience is not as fun as the mobile one. I can understand why. But sometimes, it's just easier to use the web version to write long sentences, for example. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best multiple language learning app - Duolingo"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Duolingo?

The most helpful thing about the Duolingo application is that we can learn all the global language with ease starting from the scratch to an indepth level and understand the topics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Duolingo?

There are no big downsides about the Duolingo application but in the speech recognition sometimes due to the noise it asks us repeat multiple times and it take a huge time once again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good for Basic Vocab Attainment"
4/5
What do you like best about Duolingo?

I was surprised that the app had a lot of features for having conversations and conversation comprehension. Starting at Unit 2 I started to notice this more. I also think that the podcasts and storylines are a great feature to assist with comprehension. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Duolingo?

I wish that it allowed me to contact the other people that I can see learning on the app to have conversations with them. I wish that it told more of the grammar rules as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great app to start learning languages"
5/5
What do you like best about Duolingo?

I like how Duolingo makes language learning simple and intuitive by reducing the amount of grammar that you have to deal with and gradually teaches you more and more about ho the language works as you level up skills. This makes learning both engaging and to some level game-like, ultimately turning the experience into something fun instead of dull and boring. It doesn't even feel like work!

But my favorite thing by far is the fairly recent feature: Duolingo For Schools. It has made my job as an ESL Teacher easier since it allows me to track the students progress and therefore their overall interest in the language. It even helps the students refresh what they learn in class. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Duolingo?

I don't dislike anything in particular. One thing to pay attention to, however, is that although Duolingo is a great app to start learning the language, it's not a replacement for formal language learning as it falls short when it comes to conversational practice and immersion.

"Doulingo Review"
5/5
What do you like best about Duolingo?

I use Duolingo for learning German & Spanish Language.

The Best thing I like about this app is its streak reminder; it is so accurate.

Its XP calculator is excellent; it helps me to do more learning exercises.

With XP, you can buy a suite for Duo, or you can purchase other locked practices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Duolingo?

What I dislike about Duolingo is that we can follow people, but we can not have a chat with them.

If we can chat, it helps in learning fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good tool for learning another language!"
4/5
What do you like best about Duolingo?

I like that the lessons are fun and interactive. It feels more like a game than learning a new language. The daily reminders are very helpful for keeping you on track even though they can become too frequent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Duolingo?

I dislike that it's hard to specify your exact level of understanding. For example, especially for more advanced speakers, it is not easy to quickly move from one lesson plan to another based on level of difficulty for you Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
