![]() The app's dragging, tapping and swiping features also feel more intuitive to how we use ourĭaily. If game-based learning is your thing, I'd try Drops first. It's a bit more challenging than Duolingo, but somehow it feels like I'm learning faster.īoth Drops and Duolingo are solid options for those interested in learning a new language (I also liked them both more than Rosetta Stone's more traditional approach). For example, I noticed that when the app started incorporating action phrases, like "I serve," the actions matched with the vocabulary I was learning, so I could more easily learn to construct my own sentences. If you're invested in learning a language, I think Drops' premium features are worth the purchase. This can give you a leg up when your next lesson starts. ![]() If you don't subscribe to premium, after one lesson, you have to wait until the next day to access another lesson, but you can check out your statistics after completing the lesson (correct answers, wrong answers and words learned) and tap on the words you've learned to hear them pronounced again (and see them written with the proper accent marks, etc.). This isn't available for all Duolingo Plus subscribers, though.Ī premium subscription is ad-free, and offers unlimited lessons, as well as offline access, the ability to restart lessons. You can also access an experimental feature that lets you chat with a language tutor from a country where the language is spoken. Premium gives you ad-free and offline access to the app or website, and the ability to repair a lost streak once a month. You can subscribe to the premium Duolingo Plus for $10/month for a one-month membership, $8/month for six months, or $7/month for 12 months. ![]() Duolingo also has a podcast that reiterates the lessons you've completed. Resources such as Duolingo Stories, which are short audio stories that allow you to check your comprehension skills as you go, are available online and in the apps. It can also make it feel like your world is crashing in if you lose an 80-day streak (not that I'm speaking from experience). ![]() Duolingo's "streak" feature motivates you to keep up with your language learning efforts by tracking the number of days you've reached your point goal.
