Two days ago (on 2025.02.12) I started using Duolingo for the first time.
This is the third day I use it, and currently I am planning to use it at least for 10-15 minutes every day, at least for one month.
Many of my friends recommended Duolingo, and I saw strangers too using it.
It is indeed a very good free language learning application.
I am Hungarian, and I started to learn Spanish.
Duolingo automatically started in Hungarian for me.
I already learnt a few Spanish words and sentences.
Duolingo provides a fun, entertaining way to learn languages.
I like the video game-like rewarding system (points, achievements, league, leaderboard, etc).
There are rewards for returning every day to complete tasks.
I currently have a series of three days. Three days streak.
The fourth day of my series (streak) starts tomorrow (on 2025.02.15). Of course if we miss a day, then our series (streak) will restart.
There are specific rewards for doing certain things. For example completing 10 lessons after 22:00 will give you the Sleepwalker or Sleepwalking achievement.
And there are "lives" too, also similarly to a video game (generally one mistake cost one "life").
In addition to others things, we can get "lives" by practicing.
And generally there are advertisements in Duolingo.
However there is a thing called Super Duolingo, in which we have unlimited lives, no advertisements and interruptions.
Today (on 2025.02.14) I received a free trial of Super Duolingo for three days.
Based on my first three days of experience with Duolingo, I would gladly recommend Duolingo to anyone, who would like to learn a language.
Currently I am in the first module of the sixth part of the Spanish course (using "estar" in case of places).
Nowadays I use Duolingo on my Motorola Moto G22 (Android 12) smartphone.
I see on the Google Play that Duolingo requires at least Android 10, so probably it is worth a try even on a few years older devices too (Android 10 is released in 2019).
Have fun learning a language (or more languages).
