Best mobile app for learning a new language

Learning a new language is challenging, and it's not something you can master in one afternoon. However, some interesting mobile apps should help you tackle the problem and speed up your learning process.

Duolingo is the world's most famous language learning app. It supports more than 40 languages and lets you practice speaking, reading, listening, and writing. After opening the app, you choose the language you want to learn and take a quiz to determine your knowledge level.

Bite-sized language lessons

After that, users go through a series of fun exercises to expand their vocabulary and learn grammar. The exercises are thematic and bite-sized, and they grow in difficulty over time. The app is designed to be fun. There are statistics, leaderboards, and power-ups you can use. The app uses several assets, like hearts and gems. You lose hearts when you make a mistake, and you earn gems for achievements.

Premium subscription tiers

Super Duolingo is the subscription-based premium version. Here, you will avoid ads, get offline access to exercises, get unlimited hearts, and track your learning process. So, you get everything for free with Duolingo, but even these extra features don't cost much when compared to its competition.

Not for hardcore learners

The only flaw is the lack of speaking with other people, which is a crucial aspect of learning a new language. There is speaking practice, but it's based on a voice recognition system. Also, Duolingo might feel too casual for advanced learners or people who are in a rush to learn a new language. If you want to go hardcore, we suggest you check out other apps. Not all languages have the same features or number of exercises.
