Duolingo

Duolingo is a cool free app I am currently using for a class project that helps you learn a new language. This website and app has a variety of languages ranging from Spanish to Navajo, and has a fun way of teaching them. Each time you use the app you earn points and awards for your learning, which is a fun reward system which motivates you to learn. By using a variety of multiple choice, short answer, and fill in the blank questions, it helps you learn new words and works to every learner's strengths. Duolingo separates each language into different categories such as introductions, family, food, weather, and more. Within each app, there are levels which increase in difficulty with each level. At the end, you take a test for your certification to ensure you learned the material properly. Duolingo claims to contain as much content as a college course, and has you do a little every day in order to study. With just 10 minutes each day, students learn effectively and are motivated to keep working hard. The bright colors, sound effects, and cute owl mascot help students remain focused and engaged with their learning. Personally, I am having success with the app and my language learning, and enjoy the various features it offers. The app is convenient, free, and easy to use. Overall, I love the Duolingo app and hope others can have fun with it too!
