I am so impressed that I’ve learned a lot in just 3 weeks, things that I never learned in my whole life learning English. And they give tips to not forget what we learned, phrases the adds when you are playing for free, it’s just amazing.

Really good app!! Ive been using it for over two years and I’ve learned a lot. But recently I’ve experienced some complications in doing my lessons. Ive been stuck on the same lesson for two days now and it freezes every time I reach a certain question. All other functions are still working just the normal lessons aren’t. Please fix this.

This app is good, if you wanna learn languages and all that I suggest you door use this app. One, it keeps sending you emails in creepy stalking was even after you delete the app, and it is really annoying because there are many reasons why someone might stop using the app. Second, you make zero progress using it, most people i know that used Duolingo never successfully learned the language they wanted to. So find something better to use ! Thank you

Our mascot owl, Duo, is trading in his usual diet of mice for bugs this week. Yup, we’re squashing those pesky bugs to make the experience better for all of you. For more Duolingo news, contests and product releases, follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @duolingo.
