Learning a new language is challenging, and it's not something you can chew down 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 35 languages where you can practice speaking, reading, listening, and writing. After opening the app, you choose the language to learn, and you take a quiz to determine your knowledge level.
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 grew 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 diamonds. You lose hearts when you make a mistake, and you earn diamonds for achievements.
Duolingo Plus is the premium version that costs $6.99/mo. Here, you will avoid ads, get offline access to exercises, be able to make unlimited mistakes, 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.
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. Also, not all languages have the same features and the number of exercises.
