Duolingo – Bewertungsseite 9

Vorteile

The mobile nature of the platform and the brevity of the individual lessons are very positive aspects. The combination of listening, speaking, reading, and writing activities reinforce what is learned.

Nachteile

It is very hard to navigate back to retake previous lessons when the memory lapses about words, phrases, and grammar that has been previously learned. It is also not always convenient to speak when learning on the go. The inability to keep moving forward while mobile and returning to speaking or listening activities when the setting is more suitable is a coveted but absent feature.

Vorteile

I love that Duolingo offers short lessons, so it doesn't feel like a big time commitment. I love that it starts at your level, if you have previous knowledge of the language. I love that it adds an element of competition in language learning. Additionally, I love that it offers a free version, with few ads, but also offers a paid version (also great value for the money) for those that don't want to watch the ads

Nachteile

I honestly love Duolingo so much and have recommended to so many friends and co-workers, I cannot think of a disadvantage of this program.

Vorteile

You can enroll in a variety of language classes. The way the entire learning process is organized on Duolingo — gamified, soothing, bite-sized courses to dip into whenever, even on the road — is among its most appealing features. Everything is well-organized and simple to use, including progress monitoring, looking back at previously taught materials, leaderboards, and communities for discussion with other learners and professionals. One fantastic aspect is that anyone may start learning any language right away without spending any money and avoiding receiving any advertising.

Nachteile

The program, in my opinion, is excellent for novices because it provides a solid starting point for language study. However, as you develop into an intermediate or expert level, you start to understand that the software can't really help you much more. The courses start to seem a little too robotic and calculated, which is bad if you want to advance. You will need to forego the app and experiment with different language learning strategies that provide more impromptu learning possibilities. The free version's restrictions are another drawback, but those are to be expected with any application, so we can't strictly blame Duolingo for them. In conclusion, I heartily endorse Duolingo for anyone learning a new language.

Vorteile

That I'm able to choose among many language options, being able to start learning more than 1 language without losing what I've advanced. Also I like that appart from written words, there are sounds of how to pronounce the words, and above all, IT'S FREE!

Nachteile

Not being able to choose a method of learning in some languages. I want to learn languages like Japanese, but I'm not able to concentrate I'm not able to choose switching from the symbols (hiragana, katakana, kanji) to actual words with letters, that is what I used to see everywhere and try to speak like that.

Vorteile

Picking up a second language is really easy. The lessons are straight forward, and my Spanish has improved significantly from using duolingo.

Nachteile

If a language course is going to offer languages that use a non Latin based alphabet -- like Russian, for instance, they should include a Russian keyboard. Babble does this. the lack of this keyboard makes learning clunky if not impossible. I will be canceling my pro plan until they rectify this or switching to Babble where they take the time to do it right.

Vorteile

For starters, Duolingo is free despite the fact that it teaches you a whole new language, a language that can change your life in terms of improving your cv, giving your brain a sharp memory etc. I like that Duolingo sends me emails or notifications everyday when he realizes I may have forgotten about the lessons because most times I would have. Duolingo has very interesting French lessons that are also part of the lessons. They are really interesting and make you want to continue reading and studying.

Nachteile

When I am recording my voice in response to what Duo wants me to say, I realize that the speech recognition is not that precise. At times I hear myself pronounce badly and be ready to say it again but Duo does not hear it properly and marks as pronounced properly. The speech recognition is lacking a bit and I believe can be improved.

Vorteile

1. You can learn almost any language in the world for free in a user-friendly manner.
2. Rewards, points, stars, bonuses keep motivating you to learn more. There is no limit on how much you can practice.
3. There are stories, daily practice lessons, grammar tips to help you learn from the very beginning.
4. You can create streaks, double your points, wear attire for the Duo mascot.
5. You can practice, earn points, and clear checkpoints to motivate you.
6. There are listening and speaking exercises too.
7. You have leaderboards to compete.
8. You can follow friends and give them high five to encourage.
9. You can feel proud of the achievement badges that you earn with a lot of hard work.
10. You can clear your doubts by posting to people in the community groups while practicing lessons.
11. You can study multiple languages by adding as many courses as you want.

Nachteile

1. There is no video interface to learn the nuances of a language.
2. If you give feedback for wrong sentences in rare cases, you may not hear back soon.
3. You cannot chat with friends you follow.
4. Sometimes you get the same sentences for practice which may defeat the very purpose of learning.

Vorteile

The way Duolingo makes the part of learning a language really fun and attractive to any person with a smartphone.

Nachteile

My least favorite thing about Duolingo is how the course looks informal and you really don't have a responsibility to improve more than yourself.

Vorteile

Fun and easy to use.
This app makes learning a new language easy overall.
Gamification is an essential part of what makes this software so good.

Nachteile

I don't like the fact that learning on this app cannot really take place offline
Also the amount of ads that you encounter after completing just 1 segment is just too much.

Vorteile

- The choices we have as a user to learn from 'N' number of languages
(I tried French, Korean, Spanish, Arabic, finally ending up with German, which I felt more interested in, currently i'm on a 272 days streak )
- Being able to track the Progress
- More than the language learning, I use it as a mental and cognitive exercise tool, and encourage my therapy patients to try it out, as I feel it helps in cognitive development, memory and concentration,
- Love the graphics of the app, its really pleasing to the eyes,
- The reminder system, you have an option to get a whatsapp reminder, app notification reminder, mail or text reminder
- The reward system in the app, you get 'gems' and 'XP', 'time boosters' and 'story section' (My favorite) as rewards which you can further use to do more language exercises and more
- Recently added 'Feed' section to learn more about things happening around in the Duolingo world and more information
- Being able to compete with other users and much more

Nachteile

- reporting an error in a language exercise was difficult

Vorteile

Me parece que el icono es llamativo, entonces te motiva a seguir aprendiendo, es de fácil utilización, tiene varias dinámicas y la facilidad de poder aprender otros idiomas, lo puedes hacer a cualquier hora

Nachteile

Muchas veces se hacía muy largo, y a veces era muy básico, costaba pasar de nivel porque era muy largo y eso me hacía dejarlo de usar por mucho tiempo

Vorteile

A wide range of language courses is available to enroll. One of the most attractive things about Duolingo is the way the entire learning process is set up - Gamified, relaxing bite-sized lessons to dive into anytime, even on the go. Progress tracking, looking back into previously learned contents, leaderboards, community to discuss with other learners/experts - everything is well organized and easily accessible. One great part is, anyone can dive in to learn any language without spending money while staying opted out of any advertisements.

Nachteile

While Duolingo gives a way of learning in a fun casual way in a gamified environment, someone who has a higher priority of learning a language over other activities might find Duolingo's pace rather slow. Sometimes the lessons do feel kind of repetitive. Not everyone learns at the same pace, and I think this balancing still has an opportunity for improvement. The mobile app still lacks various features available in the web app.

Vorteile

I highly recommend Duolingo. There's a free option available, which includes adds and some limited features, yet the Pro option is excellent. This is definitely a "get out of it what you put in to it" tool, and if utilized regularly, users will learn a language. Lessons focus on "useful" learning i.e. key words and phrases vs. conjugation of verbs and other grammatical elements. Those things are incorporated in to the lessons, yet the user almost doesn't notice because it's so well integrated.

Nachteile

The sequencing of some of the lessons seems a bit strange sometimes, as why one topic comes after another and not before can be odd. However, it's minor and perhaps even more of a preference.

Vorteile

I like that right off the bat I feel like I am learning enought to start using a new language.

Nachteile

I wish there were a flashcard or similar system to learn multiple verbs in a section. Some of the verbs are spelled close to the same and I have trouble remembering them without a flash card system of my own.

Vorteile

It brought a possibility and accessibility for everyone. In a fun and light way it is possible to learn another dialect. I love.

Nachteile

I honestly don't know what to say. He's great, and when we don't go in with the proposed frequency he alerts us and shows us the need to always be attentive.

Vorteile

I like the diversity in this platform and how easy it is to start learning a language using the Duolingo app.

Nachteile

Well the courses aren't much designed for very high levels but for up to intermediate they are appropriate enough.

Vorteile

There are many things I like about the Duolingo language learning software. Firstly, it is free which makes it accessible to everyone. Secondly, it is very user-friendly and you can learn at your own pace. Finally, it provides a great way to learn a new language or brush up on your existing language skills. I like that Duolingo offers a variety of languages to choose from. I also appreciate the fact that it uses a game-like format to make language learning fun and engaging.

Nachteile

Every product comes with a con but to be frank I didn't find any major cons for the app. Hence it is really enjoyable. But sometimes the repetitive tests may seem boring for the users as the app sometimes brings up the same lessons again and again. The learning process is a bit slow.

ELSA Speak

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Duolingo

Elsa Speak doesn't offer gamification representation which is not enjoyable. On the other hand, Duolingo made the whole learning process a game so no matter how old the age of a person is, can easily adapt and enjoy Duolingo for learning the language.

Vorteile

Overall the app is fun, super easy to use, and challenging. I love that I am in control of what I want to learn. I can learn one language or multiple and at my own pace. The progress rewards spark a competitiveness in me and I find myself wanting to complete just one more. Before I know it, it's been many more! Like I said before, interaction with the app is easy, fun, and the content is challenging which keeps me coming back for more!

Nachteile

While I love the software to use for fun, I don't think I would use it as a language learning tool for work or school. It has great aspects, but in comparison to other language learning software, it lacks the challenge. It could just be where I am at in the levels as well.

Vorteile

I like how user friendly and interactive the Duolingo Software is. It’s very easy to track your language learning progress and the layout of the app is very fun. It kinda mimics a game, which is great to hold interest especially for young language learners. I like that you can start to learn a language from scratch using Duolingo. I started learning Italian using the app about 2 years ago and I learned quite a bit of vocabulary and also how to form simple sentences to express myself clearly as a beginner. It’s also impressive how the app provides you with a built in feature that guides you as it relates to the correct pronunciation of verbs. The activities also include listening comprehension which is great when you’re new to a language and don’t exactly have anyone to talk/ listen to. I know there are thousands of free videos on the internet but at times it can be a bit hard and overwhelming to keep up with what the speakers are saying when you’re very new to the language. With Duolingo, everything is perfectly paced for a beginner to understand with ease and I like that a lot. Another advantage worth mentioning is the numerous languages that the app offers. I like the flexibility a lot; and honestly, whenever I start to learn another language, back to Duolingo I’ll go!

Nachteile

I think the app is great for beginners, it gives you a strong foundation for your language learning journey. However, as you begin to progress into an intermediate or advanced level, you begin to realize that there’s not much more that the app can do for you. The lessons become a bit too calculated and robotic which isn’t good if you’re wanting to advance. You will need to bypass the app and try other language learning methods which will offer more spontaneous learning opportunities. Another con is the limitations that come with the free version, but like any other application, that is to be expected and we can’t necessarily blame Duolingo for that. All in all, I would highly recommend Duolingo to any beginner language learner.

Vorteile

Lo dinámico que es la aplicación, lo amigable y lo fácil que es de aprender.

Nachteile

Que sea muy difícil cambiar la interfaz para seleccionaras lecciones que quieras aprender

Vorteile

I like Duolingo because it is a great language learning tool. I used to learn to improve my French language when I was studying at the university. I like how it is free and so easy to use.
I don't have to spend any money on language classes due to this app. I also love its gaming format. It makes learning French and Spanish fun for me without the pressure of learning in a class.
I also like its compatibility with mobile devices. I open it on my android phone and take my lessons for the day irrespective of my location.
Also, its daily reminders help me stay committed to learning and not forget my learning tasks.

Nachteile

While Duolingo is a great language learning app, I find the pop-up ads a nuisance. Another thing I dislike about it is that it lacks the most important element for learning a language, which is; face to face interaction. That is crucial for learning your target language.
Also, I would not recommend Duolingo if you want to advance to a native level in your target language. I have finished all my French lessons on the app. Although my French improved tremendously, I am still far from being on the level of a native French speaker.

Vorteile

It is a very fun way to learn and practice the languages ​​you already know or can learn a new one. What I like the most is that you can do tests for your level or to prove yourself.

Nachteile

I wish there where integrations with other apps or services, to make learning more complete.

Vorteile

The best part about this product is how fun it is to use, it makes learning a new language fun and the gamification element makes it more easy to use. There are daily reminders and the badges you earn keep you wanting to progress further. It’s also really easy and simple to navigate.

Nachteile

There was nothing I didn’t like about using the app and I think the way it’s been created makes it a fun app to use to learn a new language.

Vorteile

Duo is so easy to use and fun! It keeps me accountable and helps me to remember words that I may otherwise forget if it wasn't for the good timing! I like that it's a quick daily lesson and that Duo sends reminders if I fall off from Daily use. User friendly, cute graphics, and most importantly useful for language learning!

Nachteile

There's very little that I would list as a con with Duolingo. I use the free version so not all features are unlocked, which works for me, but you do have the option to pay to unlock more features.They give you the option to flag answers that you believe may have an error, but it does that a while for those to be reviewed.

Vorteile

Muy buena app para el aprendizaje del otros idiomas. Para cualquier persona sin bases en algun idioma nativo. Muy intuitiva e interactiva.

Nachteile

seria bueno que existira un modulo par ainteratuar con una persona real en video llamada .

Vorteile

Es muy amigable, novedoso y práctico, no pareciera que estuvieras estudiando sino jugando y eso ayuda a aprender de formar satisfactoria y alegre.

Nachteile

Se vuelve algo insistente en que entres a las clases, llegan notificaciones cada cierto tiempo para recordarme que tome una lección, no es tan malo, pero a veces me estresa un poco.

Vorteile

One of the things that sets Duolingo apart is its focus on making language learning feel like a game. The app uses colorful graphics, cute characters, and a series of interactive lessons to help you stay engaged and motivated as you work your way through the material. And because each lesson is broken down into bite-sized chunks, it's easy to fit in a quick study session whenever you have a few spare minutes throughout the day.

Nachteile

Limited depth of content, Lack of personalization, In-app ads.

Vorteile

"O melhor aplicativo de aprendizado de idiomas que já experimentei até agora!

Nachteile

O aplicativo em si é bom mais precisa de um pouco mais de aprendizagem

Vorteile

an app which helped me to learn basic French by using this app it feels so friendly, its exercises feel like puzzle-solving games due to this I never lose interest in using the App.

Nachteile

there are no lags i felt about its also free and ad free which makes it different its learning AI could be more versatile.

Vorteile

what I have always appreciated about Duolingo is the possibility of learning languages or improving the practicality of others through games, tests and challenges. It seems strange, but the "for fun" approach manages to teach many more things than boring severe and difficult courses. It starts from the basic knowledge to implement them more and more, without ever forgetting the previous ones. Furthermore, the function that I appreciate the most is being able to practice multilingual at the same time

Nachteile

I would like Duolingo to add the function of having a conversation with a robot, in voice form, or a chat conversation, to simulate a real chat with another person and make the daily practice of the language even more realistic

Vorteile

It is so easy and organized. Also, it depends on repeating the questions which makes me keep what i am learning for a long time

Nachteile

Hearts are few. Also, it should care about the grammar more

Vorteile

easy to use, affordable and functional (including free version)

Nachteile

he app does not offer explanation of the grammar of languages, simulating mother tongue learning

Vorteile

Su diseño en general es muy vistoso, sus tests y desafíos son muy atractivos y te mantienen siempre pendiente de mejorar. La mascota es muy carismática y ya es su marca registrada.

Nachteile

Lo único a destacar es que a veces si se pierde el ritmo de aprendizaje por unos días, se vuelve un constante spam de recordatorios en la casilla de correo.

Vorteile

Duolingo is very easy to use and very effective. It uses immersion learning like Rosetta Stone but it's more guided. It eases you into the language you chose to learn. Gamification is good; it awards you frequently with gems to be used in the app for various perks. I have noticed that I was able to read content in my chosen learned language much faster using Duolingo than compared to Rosetta Stone. It's also very accessible in the form of a mobile app, so if you install it on your phone, it can go with you anywhere which makes learning much more accessible.

Nachteile

I don't like how many ads Duolingo makes you watch between lessons. It is distracting to the learning environment. It's not a problem if you subscribe to Duolingo Plus but the free version's ads are very distracting and not conducive to learning. It pushes you toward subscribing even if you don't necessarily want to.

Vorteile

One feature I love is the gamification, how learning on Duolingo is so fun. I love I could learn more than one language on Duolingo and the learning paths is another great feature I love. Duolingo is the best language learning software I have ever used and still using.

Nachteile

No, there's no feature I don't love on Duolingo.

Vorteile

I love that feeling of accomplishment after new skill was acquired or new level gained ( and crown for it too ). It teaches me the basics of some language and it is free too, but I would like to see even more chapters in future, as you can't get enough of it.

Nachteile

I don't like the new system with five hearts ( for five negative answers, after which you fail a lesson ), but I understand it is there in order for this platform to keep being free for everyone and because of that I don't mind it too much. In the other hand, I would like to get more things which can be bought in the Duolingo shop, maybe some new outfits for Duo and especially more advanced skills for languages.

Vorteile

What fascinated me the most about Duolingo was the practicality and modernity of learning a new language.
This is one step ahead of competitors by presenting a fun way to learn for all ages.
The platform is nice, functional and doesn't need so much internet.

Nachteile

I believe that there could be new ways of evaluation.
Duolingo's formula is great. But at some point it gets repetitive. So it is necessary to revolutionize this, make it attractive with new challenges and tests.

Vorteile

- a very easy to use app, download and sign up.
- lots of languages to choose from
- keeps track of progress and offers rewards for streaks

Nachteile

- can get repetitive ion the end
- the voices isn't all that great but does the job
- paid services are in there and some adds to, but that's rather minor

Vorteile

il software è davvero facile da utilizzare e reputo i test e le lezioni ben suddivise e categorizzate

Nachteile

non ho notato molte nozioni avanzate per l'apprendimento di una lingua e reputo quindi che il software sia più adeguato a chi deve intraprendere un viaggio last-minute e vuole conoscere giusto qualche nozione base sulla lingua utilizzata nel paese da visitare

Vorteile

The thing I love most about Duolingo is that it allows barriers to be broken down between people of different cultures. It makes it easy to understand different languages and also some similarities.

Nachteile

I really can't think of a thing that I don't like about it. It's so easy to use and to see your progress.

Vorteile

The smartphone app is really intuitive and efficient. The software is fun, and if you're not careful you might spend more time on it than you planned.

Nachteile

I struggle after several years of using the app. I think there could be better advanced learning algorithms and also some new learning games.

Vorteile

I love duolingo in general since my first access, until today I still use it and recommend it to friends and family, because thanks to it I learned 2 new languages.

Nachteile

Over time, many advertisements have been added to the application, which makes the experience less comfortable, but I understand that it is necessary to keep education free.

Vorteile

Dualingo was very useful for me to learn and practice English first. It is a very comfortable application. There are also fun games available.

Nachteile

I wish there was a chat application in this program.

Vorteile

Duolingo's gamification aspect is a significant advantage that uses an interface resembling a game to increase the interactivity and engagement of learning a new language.

Nachteile

The application is more for beginners, topics are not in depth.

Vorteile

Easy to use, forcing to learn by routine practices, teaching a language by practicing on listening, speaking, reading and writing skills.

Nachteile

The price could be more a little bit cheaper to purchase.

Vorteile

I use it daily, each morning! I love the way the learning journey is built. Usually it can be hard to have enough usefull vocabulary hen learning by ourselves a language because we start with the easy words. The app builds a strong path to be able to speak on many subjects , for holidays in the region, work, ..

Nachteile

The only small point I do not really like about the app, is the recommendation of which lesson to continue. Sometimes I feel ready with level 1 on a topic and do not want to spend more time on the notion and only jump on the next

Vorteile

If it is Language, then it is Duolingo. Even if you can't pay at the beginning, you have the option to use a free version which gives you value and zeal to pay to get more.

Nachteile

I don't think anything applies to me here because it is all the best.

Vorteile

The ease of use and progress tracking was phenomenal. Also the variety of languages is great. Overall, I enjoyed how easy and fun it was to learn a language.

Nachteile

The overall appearance and color scheme was very basic. I think they could make the visual appeal more attractive

Vorteile

I like the selection of language courses available, which includes endangered languages like Navajo and Hawaiian.

Nachteile

With some languages, most notably for me, Irish, it is not possible to slow down the spoken samples. Some of them can be very difficult for a learner to understand, as they are spoken at normal conversational speed.

Vorteile

This is a very user-friendly and fun way to begin learning a language. Of course, it cannot entirely replace either a language class or practicing speaking with others fluent in your target language, but it is a good way to begin to learn some vocabulary and grammar so that you can begin speaking confidently. It is fun to use, and provides good positive feedback. It also incentivises you to practice daily, which is critical for learning a language.

Nachteile

The 'hearts' system where points are taken away for each mistake can be annoying, and you either have to pay a monthly subscription to get rid of it, or pay with diamonds (points given for successful lessons or purchased) to keep the lesson going if you run out completely during a lesson. Given it's a free service I guess this is a minor problem. Some people find the cartoon characters (Duo and friends) annoying, but this depends on your preferences I guess.
