What a wonderful app! An excellent self-paced means of learning a new language, and a great example of how something small- a good habit- can grow into something great. They already have a variety of options for languages all over the world, and I look forward to seeing more added :) *I have had some trouble with the speaking section (it does not work at all) and have contacted support; I'll be sure to update once resolved!

wonderful! I'm learning German right now and it's actually really helping! the only problems are the amount of ads, and hearts. not just ads for other companies, but the amount of ads for super Duolingo is suffocating. I feel like I spend more time waiting for ads to finish then I do actually learning. and the hearts are just dumb altogether. you shouldn't have to wait for a day just to make 5 mistakes and be done, sometimes I can't even get my streak because of them.

This app has been overall very helpful, with a couple of glaring issues. First, occasionally the app will refuse to gather audio from my microphone even in quiet conditions with minimal background. The second, and arguably bigger issue, is the lack of teaching about accents, umlauts, and other different letters. It caused a great deal of confusion and took me forever to find an answer from sources outside the app.
