Beverly Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 I am not sure if any of you guys have tried this website but this is what I am using to learn German. There's not a lot of languages you can learn from that site yet but this is the site I am really enjoying. I think it's done very well because they get you to do the assignments and actually repeat a lot of words you have learnt as well.You also have to translate sentences or paragraph or a whole story with other users to get to the next level if I am not mistaken,I've been slacking with my German but I am at lvl 12 in that site which is still halfway to go. If you are interested in German, Spanish, French, Portuguese and Italian,you can give this site a shot. You can start with choosing your path whether you want to start as basic or put in placement for advanced 'class'.Have fun learning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitkat0124 Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 I'm currently learning other language too. I'm using different sites. There are many sites available in the net for free. We just need to find the one that suit us better. I didn't not know this site. Maybe later I can check it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to be able to use this site as soon as I get my scheduling straightened out. It sounds like a very good site to learn new languages; and any person who have talked about this site has given it great reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thekernel Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Is it entirely autonomous? You mentioned assignments being given. I don't know how well I would do if I weren't able set my own learning pace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beverly Posted September 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 Is it entirely autonomous? You mentioned assignments being given. I don't know how well I would do if I weren't able set my own learning pace.Oh you set your own learning pace. You can even review your previous lessons. You can retake the assignments over and over and over. So it's really a fun learning experience for me. I used to do it everyday but I've been slacking. I need to get right back on it.

Alfonso Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 I've never heard about it before but Duolinguo sounds interesting. I'm always happy to learn of resources for learning new languages so, thanks for sharing! I'd like to know before I sign up, is it free to use?

linguaholic Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 yes, it is entirely free. If you browse the forum for "duolingo", you will find several other threads talking about that really cool homepage. You should give it a go. Please note while using the search form on linguaholic.com, you would first need to get back to the main forum page and then click on search, if not, not all search results will appear.

Oakster Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 Wow this looks really interesting, I'll sign up now, I just have 1 question.It asks me to log in through Facebook, will it spam my Facebook or my friends? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beverly Posted September 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 A lot of places just make you log in through your facebook or google to make it convenient for you to log in but I don't think they spam your friends or facebook. That being said, I am not entirely sure since I always just ignore the log in through my social media instead,I just register using my email address. I ONLY got email from that site when someone corrected me and I think you can even set it up that you never receive email from the site at all.

Meera Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 I'm using it now for French and I really like it. I just wish it had more languages. But from using it I have seen a huge improvement in my French! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatupswags Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 If you're looking for a great language learning app, DuoLingo is awesome! I have just started using it, based on the recommendation by my cousin. It also has the option of becoming one of their contributors, as it is still a developing program. Right now it offers several languages learned from an English perspective, and vice versa. I'm really hoping that eventually, we will be able to learn Spanish from French, for example. The app involves reading, writing, speaking, and listening in a great functional manner. And...it's FREE. Language learners should all check it out!

linguaholic Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Dear whatupswagsAs there was already a thread (more than one in fact) about DuoLingo, I merged the two topics and you can continue to talk about the great website DuoLingo.

mareebaybay Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 I have never heard of Duolinguo either, but it is definitely something that is worth checking out. I will definitely be checking this site out soon, it sounds like it will be beneficial to all my needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
writeletters Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 I have tried out Duolinguo, but I did not find it useful to my needs. It was inefficient in teaching me all that I wanted to know. A better option would be to take a course IRL, or find another website - babble or memrise.

pandandesign Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 I haven't heard about Duolinguo before, which is now a good option for me to learn a new language in the future. I will have to check out the site to see if I like it or not. I can't seem to find any good site to learn new languages, which is why Duolinguo will be a good choice there. Thank you for the recommendation! Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lela J. Skeen Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 I'm using it now for Spanish and I love it very much. I just wish it had more languages. But from using it I have seen a huge improvement in my Spanish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justusforus Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 No I have not heard of it and that is what I like so much about these forums. It is always good to hear from someone who has had experience with something. I am certainly going to look into it. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgaz83 Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 I have the Duolinguo app for Android. It's not "fun", per se, but it does seem to be one of the better language-learning apps out there. I don't think I've tried the website, yet.

leahcim132 Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Thanks for sharing this! I've never actually heard of this and I think this will be very helpful for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatupswags Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 I love Duolingo! My cousin showed it to me a few weeks ago, and I've really been enjoying it AND learning a ton! I took Spanish in high school, and have begun learning French since moving to France in 2011. Since learning more French, my Spanish has suffered, so I'm doing both of these languages on the app. Very easy to use, and let's you decide when and where you have time to learn. I love it!

MyNameIsNotDenzel Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Duolingo is good stuff. It's definitely enjoyable however I struggle to commit to it regularly. Though it's helpful in learning the spanish language on a rudimentary level, I doubt that it will assist with picking up on everyday conversations.we'll see.
