It also allows you to learn a variety of languages > > **Cons**: I understand that repetition is part of their learning strategies but sometimes it is a little too much. That said, I am using the free version ----- ### "Language fun learning" — 5.0/5 > **Cassandra** | *17 February 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about Duolingo is that you can learn how to use and translate in another language learn skills and education development > > **Cons**: Nothing I like least it's so great to learn and observe different ways of learning and understanding > > My overall experience is that Duolingo is great for classroom settings and foreign students to learn everyday live and communication ----- ### "Makes Learning Fun" — 5.0/5 > **Tanya** | *21 August 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Love this product, makes learning a new language fun and easy. Lots of good examples that you would use in real life. > > **Cons**: What I like least is probably the cost. It can be a bit costly, but in the end I think that it is worth the cost. > > Overall Duolingo is amazing as a fun way to learn a new language. Teaches stuff you would use out in the world. ----- ### "An entertaining way to learn a language" — 4.0/5 > **Alyson** | *08 March 2026* | Fine Art | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about Duolingo is how they do not force you to pay to use their app. In the past I have used language learning apps were either you have a short trial before you are told you need to subscribe or you can only have a lesson a day. Duolingo also has made many improvements over the years beyond languages adding in features such as music and chess. > > **Cons**: I believe that Duolingo is a good in helping you learn vocabulary and writing possibly but as someone who has been studying Spanish for 7 years I wish I had more opportunities to speak the language and have conversations. > > In all I have had many good years with Duolingo since I have first downloaded the app way back in 2017. ----- ### "Fun, but not useful for gaining fluency" — 3.0/5 > **Christine** | *03 April 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: Great to find a language tool that’s free and easily accessible on the go via a phone app, so that you can use it anywhere. > > **Cons**: I used it for Spanish language for 6 months before a trip, thinking that I’d have some basic Spanish when I got there. I felt like I had zero fluency — the speed that real people talk is far different than what you experience in the app. > > It was kind of a bust. Fun to participate and play their games to trick myself into using the app on a daily basis, but in the end, I didn’t have any fluency on my trip to Spain. ----- Page: 1 / 40\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/210401/duolingo-for-schools?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/210401/duolingo-for-schools) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | ----- ## Structured Data
