It's one of the less used languages but very dear to my heart. I am hoping for Duolingo also to add the option for us to learn Slovenian in the future. You can pretty much learn every major language plus some very 'exotic' ones such as - Klingon(!!) and High Valyrian (!!!), both very important and useful in our daily lives. With their paid Super Duolingo plan, you can get rid of the annoying advertisements - I am one of those impatient people who don't like ads, have unlimited hearts, and you can also have a family plan where you can share the service with your loved ones at a very reasonable price. From the cute interface and animations to the option to draw Japanese symbols on the phone screen, Duolingo offers a free and accessible way for anyone to learn new languages. I have used it for so many years to learn Czech and Japanese. Learning languages with Duolingo sure is fun. Learners can also compete with other trainees, track scores via leaderboards in real-time, and access Duolingo stories to attempt exercises based on reading and listening comprehension.

Students can also reset languages in profiles and follow or block team members on a centralized dashboard.ĭuolingo lets trainers login via Facebook and Google credentials and manage parental controls.
