Duolingo is a great way to learn a langauge. The characters are fun and it is a pleasant way to spend time. It allows you to add friends and it is nice to suppprt each other. When it opens. I am a devoted user but lately the app won't open! However, they let strangers track your progress, congratulate you, spy in you without your authorization. That feature is invasive and just problematic overall. It needs to be removed. The recent changes are also not an improvement.

This is the one. Ive tried several apps and programs to help me learn Japanese, but this is the one that i was able to make a part of my routine to the point that im actually seeing real progress. Gamification works. Having said that, it is extremely frustrating that the creators feel no need to ever explain anything. It is just quiz after quiz after quiz, and hopefully, you memorize the correct grammar eventually without understanding why.

It has a decent variety of exercises. it does not actually do much teaching, in the sense of explaining how verb conjugation works or what new words mean, but if you toggle back and forth between a translator and Duolingo, it can be workable. It also sometimes chooses an odd word to focus on for many many lessons (for example "doll" and "lazy"): it used those words dozens of times in sentences.
