This is kind of the hot take going around right now but honestly duo has a lot of advantages. Huge selection of languages, gameified lessons, and the app is really streamlined and responsive.
Im not sure if its better or worse for learning than other apps, but i suspect “learning” a language has a lot more to do with personal drive and dedication than whatever app you chose to learn with
For me, the gameification of Duolingo pushed me away. The fact that if I fail 3 times I had to wait to generate more “chances” is absurd when it comes to learning a new language; especially if that new language is a whole new character set, like Mandarin or any Cyrillic language.
I’ve been using it for a couple of weeks now, and I’ve absolutely loved it. I’ve tried learning Japanese many times in my life, but this is the first time where I feel like I’m really beginning to understand it. I’m using the pro version, though, so maybe it’s less annoying than the free version.
DuoLingo isn’t really that great for learning languages anyway

I mean I looked for a Duolingo Premium.apk so I would get infinite chances
is there a better app?
i’m not really in a situation where i can live among natives until i have the basics down
real in-person courses are also nothing i wanna do right now 😅
What language are you learning?
türkish, just for fun little interactions with my döner-guy 🥙🙂
