Review Duolingo?

Reviewers largely see Duolingo as an easy, habit-forming way to start or refresh a language, with short, game-like lessons, streaks, leaderboards, and instant feedback making daily practice feel manageable and fun. Many say it helps with vocabulary, reading, listening, and consistency, especially for beginners. The main caveat is depth: several users say lessons can become repetitive, grammar explanations are limited or unclear, and intermediate learners may find the content too basic for real-world fluency. A maker of LelaAI also calls it the “OG” of language-learning apps.

I use Duolingo every morning to practice Spanish, and it’s become a valuable part of my daily routine. The bite-sized lessons make it easy to stay consistent, even on busy days. I’ve noticed real progress in my vocabulary, reading skills, and listening comprehension since I started using it regularly. The gamified features, like streaks and XP points, keep me motivated without feeling too pushy. Occasionally, I find the repetition a bit much, and some grammar explanations could be clearer, but overall it’s an effective and enjoyable tool. It has made language learning feel manageable and even fun

I'm a strong supporter and a long-term user, forever in love with the brand, the mascot and the playful and hilarious tone of voice. I've been enjoying Duolingo's French course for about a year now and while I would (and have) highly recommend it, I've seen some drastic changes which pushed me away as a premium subscriber. I.g. I'm really missing audio lessons with Paul and Estel, and the learning "tree" instead of "path" which it used to be. I'm still a user, though, and I'm still very excited about the product and the people behind it!

I've been learning German on Duolingo for a while, and it’s been pretty good for me. But when I try to practice a language I’ve learned before (like Japanese), the exercises feel too basic to really help me improve (even I’m still far from mastering it). SO I wouldn’t say it’s best way to learn a foreign language, the sentences/vocabulary taught are NOT enough when it comes to real-world situations. But still a great beginner tool to foster interest in learning another language.
