Lots of people are very fond of Duolingo, so if you say bad things about it or compare it to something better, they will act emotionally rather than look at the evidence. While it uses similar multiple choice or. It's just weird people downvote this post (but then they downvote lots of posts here, even those that are completely neutral, so you can't take that seriously as a good parameter). Memrise also offers more explanatory cards than Duolingo offers when introducing new or complex topics. But obviously, if you pay for it, having something better is the least you can expect. However, Duolingo is still at an advantage: it's free. I particularly like to have a taste of the dialogue first and then analyze things.īut anyway, it's not the greatest, but still much better than Duolingo. That is, you first do all the language analysis and then see how it's put into practice. What I don't like about it is that the dialogue just comes at the end, you can't access it before going through all the vocabulary and sentence practice. There is even a section (chatbot) where you can simulate a real conversation. ![]() This Ling app has so many more resources: recordings with real speakers, specific vocabulary exercises with examples, fill in the blanks, match, explanations, dialogues with translation, speaking exercises. With Duolingo, it’s easy to study more than one language at a time. More popular languages have more content available, while newer languages may still have quite a few errors. Duolingo offers 37 languages in various stages of development. ![]() It does have a few grammar notes, some voice input and Duolingo Stories, but the stories themselves are a very poor source for primary studying (it's more to practice what you already know) and available for just a few languages. Best of all, Duolingo is completely FREE. It's not really much beyond that besides the gamification that keeps people engaged. ![]() The basis of Duolingo is translation of random sentences spoken by a robot. Why do people downvote this post? The review is nice, and this app is way much better than Duolingo in terms of methodology.
