Duolingo - Language Lessons 4+

I downloaded Duolingo in March 2020 and for a year I practised 5/6 times a week, I would do like 1 full level a day (5 different lesson to compete 1 full one) and then after that I did a lesson every now and then as I because busy, but still tried to do at least 1 every week, which turned into every month. However, I have MAINLY ONLY used Duolingo for my source of study, in between not doing the lessons on the app I would sometimes read things on social media in Spanish or try and listen to a Spanish programme but never stuck to it. However, I visited all of Central America last month, from Mexico to Costa Rica and all the countries in between, and I could speak and understand almost everything that came my way literally all thanks to Duolingo. I see people make comments about how random the sentences are on the app, but that literally just helps you in real life more as you can construct a sentence as you know the ‘rules’ in doing so. I am so happy I used Duolingo to learn Spanish as I honestly have learnt so much, you don’t think about how much you learn when you are leading some random sentences a day but when I visited these countries I was shocked at how much I could understand and speak with locals. To learn on the app I wrote down all verbs I learnt and words I learnt, I didn’t write down any sentences I would learn, solely the verbs and words and this is more than enough.

Duolingo is amazing, I have been using it for almost a year and my Spanish has really improved (please note there are many more languages then Spanish) and when I started using it I only knew about five Spanish words. I was reluctant to get the app until I realised it was free! When I noticed this I very quickly downloaded it and found there seemed to never really be any problems and no major inconveniences, there’s only ever the occasional pop-up advertising super Duolingo (which I personally don’t have but I think it’s a monthly payment, a reasonable price though) and other Duolingo apps. It’s also extremely easy to use, I personally struggle to learn languages in school because it starts with more advanced words and topics but Duolingo breaks it down and begins with the basics, it also always (at the end of the lesson) allows you to practise the mistakes you previously made. Also some of the things you do in the lessons consist of speaking exercises, listening exercises, filling in the missing gaps, etc. Another thing, it works for almost every age, I’m currently a kid (not gonna say my exact age) and I find it really simple to learn different languages with this app, I have no ranted on about this app for many lines of writing so I really recommend Duolingo and I hope this review was helpful, that’s if you had enough hours to finish reading it of course. 😂😂😂
