Duolingo, free language learning app!

One of the most popular language learning tools online is Duolingo. it is completely free and completely worth it! in this article, we'll have a full overview about it! 

Duolingo offers more than 10 language courses for English speakers, and a lot of other courses for other languages speakers, like arabic and french, czech and so on! For example, as an English speaker, you can learn Spanish, with over 40 million other learners, Italian, with 10 million learners, or even Irish and danish! 

Duolingo is a great example of a straightforward language app. It’s really simple to use. You set up a profile, choose your target language, set your weekly goals which is optional, and here you go!

it's as fun as playing a game, you can learn spelling, writing and reading with different exercices and reminders!

Each course in Duolingo is made up of modules (the circles in the screenshot below) which are grouped to form skills.Duolingo dictates the order in which you need to complete the different modules, with new modules becoming active only once you’ve completed the previous one. This is also the case with individual lessons within each module. You need to complete lesson 1 to be able to progress to lesson 2, and so on. That said, Duolingo allows you to ‘test out of’ individual modules as well as groups of modules (skills).

Pressing the ‘test out’ button lets you take a shortcut if you want to avoid going through the individual lessons or modules that cover material that you’re already familiar with. You need to pass the test to do that, however, because there are no shortcuts in language learning!

You can strengthen your weakest words there and then, or go back at a later point.
