Ratings and reviews

As a method of learning the basics of a new language is very helpful. It is however frustrating to learn some grammer rules by trial and error rather than having them stated in the lesson summaries. As a game, it is very frustrating! It often freezes at the end of a level, requiring you to restart the app and forfeit your reward. There are also a number of exercises that count you wrong when you are right, or do not offer the right answers to select. I would not pay for this app as is.

Duolingo is awesome! There are times when it asks you frequently to buy the pro with no ads but it doesn't withhold anything that's essential or helpful to learn. It makes it easy and fun with the way it's organized, it has multiple cartoony characters with their own personalities, and it keeps on encouraging you to keep going with streak but you can also earn streak freezes for occasional days you miss. It's personal to you. I definitely recommend. I couldn't find anything better. Love it!

Firstly the app is great for learning. You can correct your mistakes and complete challenges with friends. There are some issues though. When you're competing in the leagues, you compete against other people of different courses and levels, thus, its not fair. For example, its unfair to compare someone who practices English with someone who practices Russian or Korean, and someone who has been practicing for 2 years with someone who has been practicing for 2 months.
