Duolingo

Anyone here learning a language through the Duolingo app?

I tried French through Duolingo and Babbel.  I'm not doing well on either... haha

What're you looking to learn?

I thought duolingo was great

[shynudeboy]

I used to use duolingo to use French. I find it's really good to learn the basics, but when it comes to more complex conversational things you may need other apps to help along with Duolingo.

I haven't tried it yet.... I know I would be too inconsistent in using it

I am learning Italian on Duolingo.

I've tried it for Japanese, but I ended up using lingodeer instead which works a lot better for Asian languages.

I'm currently using Duolingo for Japanese. On a side note I noticed one day that they have options to learn Klingon and High Valeryian, but not any for the languages J.R.R. Tolkien made up for his works and I'm kind of upset about that.

I was using Duolingo for Japanese for a while, but it just didn’t feel quite right. I feel like it’s a placebo app that only makes you convinced that you’re actually learning the language even though in reality, you’re simply improving your vocabulary pool and syntax.

It could be a good supplement for actual courses in a language or one-to-one Skype calls or conversation meetups, but I can’t imagine myself learning a language using the app.

But then again, I might just not be suited for this sort of learning style, and it genuinely works.

How is it compared to other things like The Rosetta Stone Because I love the use it for Japanese or German some planning on visiting all those countries sometime in the future
