Duolingo, a language game app developed by Duolingo, Inc. for beginners, highly efficient, entertaining, highly sticky, and able to achieve phased goals.

As a language expression learning application, Duolingo carries out diversified word and sentence practice from four aspects like listening, reading, spelling, and meaning. There are mobile APPs and PC terminals, so it is very convenient to learn at any time. According to Duolingo, you can immediately learn English and Spanish. If you already have some basic English, you can also use English to learn other languages through Duolingo.

In addition, a potential advantage of this application is that it can create a suitable and intimate learning experience for different learners' language levels, and assist interactive communication through various learning methods such as zero-distance theme activities, interactive short stories and blogs.

On the whole, Duolingo adopts a gamified teaching mode. Compared with the traditional learning method, the learning process of Duolingo is more like playing a game, you need to constantly challenge levels to unlock various elements in the app. At the same time, the levels also provide a variety of learning methods, not only simply filling in the blanks, but also various interactive methods such as translating Chinese and English, and reorganizing sentences according to language.

Cons

Progress may be slow. Good for beginners, advanced learners may need a larger and more comprehensive approach.

Combined with my own actual experience, this application is still very useful. I have been using it to learn French for more than three years, and I feel it is very useful, especially for the improvement of basic vocabulary and the training of basic grammar. It is especially suitable for using fragmented time to progress step by step. I have completed French 2 times, and now I am starting the 3rd time. It takes two or three months to read through each time, but the level of proficiency and the depth of understanding each time is improving, and it is getting more and more proficient and fast.

All in all, Duolingo is quite successful as a language learning software, but it is also very limited in my opinion. This application is not suitable for zero-based beginners, nor for advanced learners who already have a very good foundation, but more suitable for people who are interested in a language, have a knowledge of the language, and have a certain foundation and want to learn in depth.
