Let’s take a deeper dive…Īpart from an ad-free experience, Duolingo Plus gives you the following benefits: But you might – it all depends what you are looking for :). But then things changed, and I found I didn’t enjoy it anymore. That’s why, when I came back to French after a 20 year break, I chose Duolingo because it was all those things. It certainly seems more fun (and cheaper!) than serious language apps like Babbel. And why not? It’s colourful, it’s fun, it’s like a little 5 minute game. It seems the Green Owl has become one of the (English speaking) world’s most popular language learning apps. Working through 5 repeats of every lesson to finish, I also quickly found Duolingo very repetitive, and I got bored with repeating each lesson five times.

Learning ‘fox’ and ‘wolf’ felt irrelevant. I tried it, but from the very first lessons the vocabulary was weird. I don’t use or the Duolingo app to learn languages.

Whenever people find out I am learning Spanish (or German, or French, or any other language I have spent time learning!), one of the first questions they ask me is “Are you using Duolingo?”.
