For those who want to brush up their skills in a certain language while on the go, Duolingo - Learn Languages for Free is definitely one of the apps that is worth a closer look, not only because it is cross-platform, but also because of the interesting and interactive methods it uses.
Clean and carefully designed interface
The looks of this application are really neat, with a beautiful appearance that is mainly due to the nicely drawn graphics that are consistent from end to end.
The navigation among the numerous lessons and other sections of Duolingo - Learn Languages for Free is smooth and without any delays or other kind of glitches. The content is very well structured so that you can find anything you need in a few seconds.
Choose the courses and start learning on the fly
The utility allows you to pick one or several courses, depending on how many foreign languages you want to practice or learn. These virtual classes are made for a wide variety of speakers of languages across the world and they all have in common English as a foreign language.
The first lessons are relatively easy and there are plenty of activities you have to go through in order to complete a module, even one for the basics of the selected language. At any given moment you can modify the daily goal you set when opening the app for the first time.
Get immediate feedback while going through the tests
When you start a course, Duolingo - Learn Languages for Free gives you a set of hearts that when exhausted will bring the exercise to an end and you will have to restart it all over again.
Nonetheless, the difficulty is increasing gradually, so at least for the first courses you should have little if any problems in this respect, provided that you do have a bit of knowledge about that language to begin with.
For each answer you give, be it a translation or after writing the spoken words or phrases you can check the accuracy of your response and only then you will move to the next stage. Skipping lessons is possible by using the "Take a shortcut" feature, but this presumes that you already have all the knowledge in that module, otherwise the test might be quite difficult.
