Ratings and Reviews
Editors’ Notes
Duolingo is one of the most successful language-learning apps in the world. Now with Duolingo ABC, kids ages 3 to 6 can get in on the fun with English reading activities. Packed with games and engaging exercises, Duolingo ABC applies the same tried and true methods that make Duolingo so popular—only with a lot more cute monkeys.
Excellent app, but could do with regional differences
So this is echoing the sentiment of other British reviewers but it bears repeating.
I love this app. It’s made a MASSIVE difference to my 2-year-old’s reading ability and confidence. The Duolingo formula is perfect for this sort of thing. It’s simple and engaging enough to keep even the shortest of attention spans occupied. It’s a simple and concise design and easy for even very young children to navigate. It has a range of types of activities but also a good amount of repetition to drill in the information. It’s almost perfect. It’s really helped my son build up his foundation in reading and now he takes more of an interest reading words he sees day to day.
But the pronunciations are aggressively and exclusively North American. Particularly egregious is the woman pronouncing ‘two’ as ‘taeew’ which is just cringey to hear my toddler repeat. It would be amazing if a version could be released with the option to toggle a British accent, or Australian for other English-speaking countries. For me it’s not enough of a problem to find an alternative app, but I can see why it would be for other non-American users.
Overall, a definite 4/5. A brilliant app, and absolutely worth downloading for your toddler but if you’re British, you might find yourself constantly correcting your little one’s pronunciation afterwards.
Great but it’s too American
If you want your child to learn how to read quickly then download this. If your American than that’s all you need to hear.
However if you’re from Britain some of the letter pronunciations are just to native to America, for example the letter y they say you should pronounce it like ‘eeeeeey’ instead of ‘yuuuuuh’ like we do it. My request is that you should make an option for the speaker to pronounce the words in a British way or any other country that speaks English.
Thanks for reading this.
