Editors’ Choice

With its friendly approach and awesome updates, Duolingo’s long been one of our favorite apps for learning another language. Its secret: making the process genuinely fun. Engaging mini-games test your reading, writing, and speaking skills, and joining a club (where you can encourage and compete with others) adds a great social element. Bonus: all those languages and games are available for free!

LEADERSHIP BOARDS!!!

I think that duo lingo is an amazing and fun app to learn different languages. It’s definitely not what I expected, I thought it would be boring and bland but it gave a pleasant surprise. There is only one problem though and I believe I’m not the only person having this problem. My problem is with the leadership boards. I feel they shouldn’t exist. Humans are naturally competitive but it is very easy for us the same humans to get discouraged. When you’re giving it your all and your low on the leadership board it’s very discouraging. And that’s why I stopped using the app. It gets to a point where you’re like you don’t care anymore.

It’s an amazing app but that leadership board is the only problem. If it can be taken out and another new feature added maybe one where players can interact with one another. I bet a lot of people who have felt discouraged by the leadership board will come back. But all in all it is the best app to learn a foreign language. I’m heavily impressed.

Game or educational?

I like Duolingo a lot, I’m one of those who are extremely grateful that such an app exists. However, I think the idea of having a leaderboard is a huge distraction from the main purpose of the app, which is learning! I literally stopped using the app for about a year, and only returned when the need to learn a new language arose. The leaderboard gives that game-ish feel, and for someone who has tried to be in top 3 for 9 times consecutively, I know exactly what I am saying. People are just probably rushing through the lessons and the XP challenges to increase XPs not necessarily to learn. Someone in my leaderboard last week played over 7,000XPs in one day just to displace the person at the number one position, and I couldn’t help but wonder if the person was genuinely learning or just there to compete and play games. I hope you guys see this and consider making the app 100% about learning. Alternatively, you can give the option to opt out of the leaderboard for whoever might not be interested and find alternative ways to demote people to the lower league. Thank you!!
