Users don't just read about how the language works they're guided step by step through exercises and they get instant, detailed feedback. Show moreĭuolingo breaks the complex details of language-learning into manageable, meaningful chunks. Once students enroll, teachers can monitor their progress (with an overall course view or a detailed list view) and assign homework targeted for individual students' needs. Teachers can sign up for a free account, add class sections, and share a link with their students to let them sign up to join a particular section. Most relevant to the classroom, students can also participate with a Duolingo for Schools account, which is also free and which lets teachers link to their students' accounts and track their progress. Students can sign up on their own to use the Duolingo site or its corresponding app (which is how most users access the service) both are free. English speakers can elect to learn Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Irish, Danish, Swedish, or Turkish other languages have similar (if slightly more limited) options. Users can also switch to Immerson Mode to enter translations of key phrases and longer passages this crowdsourced knowledge base plus an active message board make for a lively online community of language learners. Users earn experience points (XP) for their time in the app, and their user profile (visible when signed in) displays badges with their level and XP and flag icons representing the languages they're learning. Users see their streak count (their number of days in a row spent using the tool) and their hearts (like lives remaining in a video game).
When students make an error, they see the correct answer and can open a user discussion related to the question for further feedback on the mistake. Instructional practice activities cover all four skills (reading, writing, speaking, and listening) and require users to go back and forth between the target language and their self-identified native language. Beginners can start with "Basics 1" or more advanced learners can take a quick "Placement Test" to determine the appropriate starting point. Students first choose which language they want to learn. Duolingo is a game-based language-learning tool.
