  • 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.
    • More Info about Duolingo, click here.
  • About this deal:
    • 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.

Do they ever have discounts on family plans?
I'm debating purchasing 2 individual plans or getting the family plan to add my kids to it. I just can't see any discounts for family plan.

You're right that Duolingo does make it more convenient, but that's the bottom line. It's not to make you an expert by any means and Duolingo suggests you do things outside as well.

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
nah bruv when i was smashing out my english in primary i jot all me essays like dis bruv. Get proper educated bruv.

What do you think is a better app to learn another language ?
There are basically 3 apps practicing the same approach (gamification of learning the language basics) - Duolingo, Babbel, and Memrise. I don't think they are much different, but Duolingo is much more popular. The other two however sometimes offer lifetime subscription.

Going beyond the basics, you have to research what is available for the language of your choice (e.g. Hueber for German)

I speak several languages. The best way I have found to learn a foreign language is to live abroad in a foreign country, preferably going to an actual language school there. I would recommend at least a 3 month minimum. This can be a possibility for some students in college, aka doing a semester abroad, but it's clearly not realistic for most other people.

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!

You'll learn vocabulary in a fun way. It's something productive to do when you're bored on your phone. You won't learn grammar.

Super used to mean no ads, but now they regularly advertise their Max tier even when you're on Super. That tier gives you AI Video Calls and Roleplay.
Super is more than "ad-free", though, as you can practice word matching, speaking, listening, and fixing mistakes.
I use super and haven't seen any adds of any kind except for the Duo plushie once in a while.

Would Hueber be your top recommendation for German?

A currently in development alternative to Duolingo is a website/app called "Lingonaut". If you google Lingonaut, you will find their website and a big AMA thread the creators of Lingonaut posted on the Duolingo subreddit.

It seems like it will bring back most of the good things that old Duolingo used to have and be completely ad free. But it's completely unknown when they'll release it. I'm subscribed to their discord just so I will know when it's released.

I would disagree that it's not beyond the basics. I took 5 years of French in grade school, forgot a lot over several years, but when I came back to Duo, that foundation from grade school helped me advance really quickly. I can't imagine starting from scratch to learn a language on Duo - to me this means it goes beyond the basics.

Duolingo has pretty much successfully ruined their free tier. You used to be able to earn more hearts by practicing lessons that let you review and refresh previous information that you might have forgotten. It was a good system. Then Duolingo nerfed it to only be able to do practice lessons when your hearts are zero.

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 😡
This is belly aching. Free version still works just great. I have a 5-year streak on the free version. Yes, they've tightened the screws a bit, but I don't really have a problem with that
