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 ----- ### "Good for beginners" — 4.0/5 > **Kuldeep** | *03 May 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: - Easy, friendly UI - I like the gamification in exercises - learning path is easy and content is well-planned for each level > > **Cons**: - too much of ads in free version, app becomes almost impossible to use if not paid - streak reminders feel a little too much after a while - learning is slow > > It has been a great platform to start learning Deutsch. But it's not a complete solution. My usage of app has decreased over time as I progress more into the language learning. However will use it again when I want to learn a new language. ----- ### "Outstanding Duolingo" — 5.0/5 > **Reagan** | *27 April 2026* | Medical Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that there is a great value for money and customer support with it, and I never have any bugs or issues. I love that it teaches a wide vocabulary and grammar for any language you want to learn, as well as promoting student and teacher interaction\! There is also great security that goes along with it as well. > > **Cons**: There was nothing that I disliked about Duolingo. I have been a user of Duolingo for years\! It is absolutely wonderful\! > > Overall I have had an amazing and exciting experience with Duolingo, it was the easiest way for me to learn a second language and it comes in handy all the time. I love that it keeps a streak for you and it gives you an incentive to work on your learning each day. Amazing app and extremely user friendly\! ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Duolingo Makes Learning Fun (But should add conjugation tables for languages)" — 5.0/5 > **Nava** | *21 January 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about Duolingo is that they take a complex subject and break it down into short lessons that can be quickly completed. Once you've completed a short lesson, it's motivating to keep going. > > **Cons**: The one thing I don't like about Duolingo's language lessons is that they don't provide a conjugation table. Once you start learning different tenses it gets really hard to keep them all straight so having a conjugation table to refer to would be really helpful. > > Overall, it has been good. I've used it to learn Spanish, Math, Chess, and Music and had a good and fun experience with all three subjects. ----- 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
