Educational Technology Mobile app
Everyone is holding their mobiles all day using all kind of applications, what a better way to use it in learning new languages!
Learning with Duolingo is fun and addictive. Earn points for correct answers, race against the clock, and level up. Our bite-sized lessons are effective, and their are a study to prove it. Lessons are available for English, French, Spanish, German, Italian and Portuguese. Much of the learning happens in the form of rapid-fire quizzes, which switch frequently between testing speaking, listening, and writing. High scores unlock further lessons. You can compare your progress with your friends’ through Facebook, a successful use of "gamification".
A break down:
- The Good: Lessons are available offline, superbly adapted for the iPad, content structured very well, good pace of activity, Fun exercises.and its for Free.
- The Bad: Not available in many languages, can't jump ahead without testing out of lessons, no placement test, and some content inaccuracies in higher levels.
- The Bottom Line: Among iPad apps for learning or practicing a language, you can't beat Duolingo. It is easily the best free language-learning app for Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, and Italian (and it has English programs for speakers of Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese, too!).
My rating is 5 out of 5 (Excellent)
