Duolingo is wonderful! I use it in tandem with memrise, which features videos of people speaking the language. Together, I've seen my comprehension in French and Vietnamese absolutely skyrocket! It all started with Duo <3

I tried Duolingo for Spanish, but found it to have a lot of errors. Meaning, I would write the correct translation, and it would mark my answer wrong and then say the solution, which would be exactly what I wrote. It would also mark my answers wrong if I forgot a period, or wrote a similar translation (eg: don't vs do not) that was still correct but not exactly what the app wanted. Does anyone else have this problem?

I also found that Duolingo dropped the "the" before nouns, which (at least in Spain) isn't done. So, I suppose I just don't trust Duolingo for Spanish. But I'm glad it is helpful to so many people. c:

thats werid when i used duolingo it wouldnt correct punctuation mistakes (it wouldnt count contractions like you said tho). i recommend using the web browser version instead of the app, because it doesn't have the health bar thing and its less glitchy.

I love Duolingo! They also have a podcast (for Spanish, at least) if you haven't checked it out.

    ahh reading this thread made me realize that i gotta get back on and practice!
    i very much agree that duolingo is a really effective language-learning site - i've been using it for four years now and i haven't seen another website like it (that was free) during my entire journey! it really is a wonderful website : )
    if you'd like to find me, i'm here!

I just started trying to learn Hindi on Duolingo. But I also got a book on it from my library cause it Duo doesn't explain the subtle differences in the sounds when it expects you to be able to hear it.
