Without a doubt, the best language learning app in the entire APP STORE.
INTERFACE:
When we enter the application, a small introduction appears in which we can see how DUOLINGO teaches us the language we want. After this and after registering, we landed on its main screen (click or pass the cursor over the white circles to find out more about the image) :
LEARN LANGUAGES WHILE HAVING FUN:
The first thing we must do is register on the platform so that we can save our process and the history of everything we learn.
And it's just that it's fascinating to learn English, German, French with this great app. We will learn them while we complete units and go up levels, as if it were a game. We must try to finish each lesson without losing all our lives.
When choosing the language we want to learn, the first thing it will ask us is about the level we have regarding the chosen language. The options appear:
In our case we have chosen the beginner level and here is the flowchart of our lessons:
The tests that they give us are like games in which you have to select the photo of the word that they give us, order the words of a sentence, translate words and sentences, say a text out loud and we will have to try all this overcome it without spending the lives that appear in the upper right part of the screen.
What we have discussed is related to the option in the lower menu, “LEARN”.
If we press the "PRACTICE" option, it gives us the possibility to practice with:
Practices are games in which we must respond faster than our opponent.
The last option that appears in the lower menu is "SHOP". In it we can access to buy outfits for our Owl, buy lives and we can obtain all this by paying with the app's currency called Lingots. We will get these coins during learning and they will be given to us when we meet objectives, overcome lessons
As you may have seen, a new way of learning languages without forcing ourselves and boring us. Whenever we want and in a fun way, we can give the lessons that Duolingo has prepared for us.
Here we pass you a video in which we go through the interface of the app to show you its operation and interface:
OUR OPINION ON DUOLINGO:
Being negated for languages, as I am, it has not cost me anything to start learning with this great application. I even find it funny and, I tell you, it has hooked me.
The beginner level is quite easy, but it is still interesting and teaches us things that we surely had forgotten. If we do a little bit of our part, pay attention and dedicate a little time a day to learning the language we want, surely the progress will be noticeable as we go through the lessons.
In addition, the possibility of playing and practicing with other people, who also use this app to learn or reinforce the language they are studying, gives an extra point when it comes to motivating ourselves to learn as much as possible.
In the learning area, we love the way the lessons are laid out and the inability to access more advanced lessons. In order to access them, we must overcome all the previous chapters.
If you are a person who wants to learn, on your own, one of the languages available in the application or you want to use it to reinforce the language you are studying in high school, we advise you to try this very useful and fun app. You won't regret it.
