Ratings and reviews

Overall excellent user experience. The repetition is good to remember and learn efficiently, there is no better way to learn than by practicing the language, and Duolingo understood that. However, it spends way too much time on the same thing in my opinion, it is too stagnant and I would like to go faster through the subjects. It would be great if the course adapted to my learning abilities. Aside from that, at least for conjugation, it would be great to have sheets that go over everything.

Good engaging app overall, but it'd have liked a little more narrative or story, so far it's very repetitive and the sentences seem a bit random. a little more vocabulary would be nice, even though I do quite a few lessons each day and get almost everything right the first time, it's very slow to move forward.

THIS APP IS NOT DYSLEXIC FRIENDLY!!!!! the translations words/sentences have similar options, in which I accidentally always get the wrong one because in my head, after reading the first few letters, it auto complete the word im looking at, and it's always for something so stupid that losing an entire heart is just too much. Also the vocal exercises don't even pick up what you're saying and if it does, it picks up one or two words. Fix this competitive "learning" app.
