Great but lacks depth
To start learning a language or refresh yourself on a language long ago forgotten, this is a great app to use.
I'm currently re-learning German after taking it at school and it's a great app to use. The interface is user-friendly and it works very well in bitesize chunks so you don't overface yourself. I like that they've introduced the conversations section to actually "talk" to people properly as opposed to reading/saying sometimes hilarious and bizarre sentences in the main learning section.
The main issue with it is that it doesn't go into any real depth on grammar or reasoning behind the language. Like where to use certain endings to words or how to work out which tense or which identifier - I'm forever struggling to remember whether it starts with der, die, das etc. I feel like even when I eventually complete all lessons and reach what Duolingo classes as 100% fluency, I'll still need to supplement it with other learning to truly master the language.

Beautifully written, a bit too much romance, but I can take it for the quality of the language and the general story line. Witches are in for the season and this read is perfect!

Easy interface
Duolingo is one of the best app out there to help anyone learn a new langue. Although it it not as great as its website the app does enough for those who are simply on the go and can’t get on to their laptops to dive more into learning a new language. With the constant repetition of words, sentences, or phrases it help individuals retain information much easier. Duolingo definitely makes leaning a new language much more fun and pleasant.
