Learned more here than I did in my High School Spanish class
As someone that has always had a difficulty with learning languages, it is nice to find a way that challenges me and keeps me involved. Duolingo is a game that helps you learn - a learning tool that feels like a game.

Give it a shot if you have not already.

"By traveling in Africa while also learning from hundreds of books stored in his computer, Lindquist shows us that racism was invented to justify colonialism. Racism came home to Europe as the holocaust."

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.

A great strategy game. Really helps build your logic skill. However, try not to be discouraged when an older or better player "shows you up." It's all about learning how to improve your skills.

"Since reading this book, I’ve literally incorporated this approach to problem solving into my everyday life. I’ve always encouraged those around me not to be scared of failure because I believe it’s the most valuable learning tool."

This is a fun inventive story. Great for learning difficult vocabulary. It made me laugh and was a pleasant read. If you like whimsy this is the book for you.
