Written by StrawMan86 | Staff- About Duolingo:
- Lessons focus on a real-life goal — for instance, ordering at a restaurant. Learners develop the vocabulary and grammar needed to achieve that goal through lots of varied practice in reading, writing, listening, and speaking.
- Duolingo allows learners to discover patterns on their own without needing to focus on language rules — the same way you learned your first language as a child. This approach, called "implicit learning," is ideal for developing a strong foundational knowledge of a language and its rules.
- At Duolingo, we're committed to improvement. Test questions are embedded throughout our courses to measure how learners are progressing — and to show where Duolingo can improve.

- This matches December 2023's popular Frontpage deal.
- Please see original post for additional details & give the WIKI and additional forum comments a read for helpful discussion.

Apps like Duolingo, MosaLingua, Mango, Rosetta Stone, etc can help you learn basic foreign language content. If it's a language that has a different alphabet than your primary language, these apps can help you learn to read in that target language. For example if you speak English and are trying to learn Russian, which uses the Cyrillic alphabet.
The next level beyond the basics you might learn using these apps would be to read newspapers or online sources in the target language, watch news programs and movies in the target language, listen to podcasts in the target language, watch videos on YouTube in the target language, most of which can be slowed down, if needed. Turn subtitles on in the target language, if possible.
AI sources like ChatGPT one day will become game changers. Although it's not quite there yet, even now you can structure ChatGPT to help you learn some foreign languages and to help you practice things you want to learn in those languages. It can even have conversations with you in those languages, and you can set the speed at which it speaks to you.
Again, right now ChatGPT is def not "there yet" when it comes to foreign languages. I have found when having conversations with ChatGPT, the accents in some languages are not always great, and there are often many grammatical and pronunciation mistakes.
At the moment, ChatGPT seems to do quite well in Spanish, so if that's the language you're trying to learn, def give it a try!
And Duolingo has now been cracking down on non-educators who have been using Duolingo classrooms to get unlimited hearts. Duolingo free tier feels more like a "free trial" now. App was completely different when I first tried it 10 years ago. Now it's about making as much money as possible for their shareholders 😡
Lastly, a note from a polyglot: Duolingo is cute but it won't get you beyond the level of ordering your food or asking for directions in another country. There is no shortcut for systematic grammar and vocabulary learning and for a lot of reading. 🤷

thinking about getting the family plan for $120, I think Costco sells Google Play cards at a discount, can I get those and pay that way?

I can buy $100 gift card, get a $10 Costco card, I would have to get another $20 credit in my Google Play account to pay the $120 because I think you need to pay the entire total using one payment method im pretty sure you can't split.
No ads saves a minute after each lesson. The ads can be obnoxious.
It's also much easier to get points to score higher in the leader board.
Duolingo as a learning tool is okay but if that's what takes you to work on it, then it's better than nothing.

Super is more than "ad-free", though, as you can practice word matching, speaking, listening, and fixing mistakes.

I just for the first time signed up for super by accidentally forgetting to cancel the trial. I think I paid 89 for the year

Ive been doing it for 25 days straight and it's no shortcut. It's just a convenient way to learn. I'm doing Japanese and let me tell you, it forcing me to practice writing Kanji for a half hour before letting me move on to a new lesson is not a short cut. Especially since it is highly unlikely that I will be able to write Kanji before my trip in 2.5 months.
Buuut... I can recognize it and decipher many of the characters already. And that's more my goal, to be able to understand rather than speak since I'm probably going to rely on a translator app for speaking just to be safe

Long version:
There is no single perfect app. Most of these apps are really to get you started, get an understanding and work in limited fashion. If you really want to be fluent and appear natural, you have to read books, newspapers and then observe everyday conversation to truly know how the language operates in the real world. Watching a documentary or news show where people speak slowly may help.
Best yet, visit/stay for about 2 weeks amongst natives , after you do Duolingo for a few months (free version is fine), you'll notice you're learning much better.

However, the downside if you haven't noticed yet is that Duolingo forces you to write and speak in a set fashion and does not let you form sentences outside of it's own expectations when translating. Simple examples are contractions which are quite common in any language and Duolingo scores you negative since it wasn't the proposed solution
