Students can also add their friends and compete against each other - this is done by experience points (XP) and not be their proficiency, so it is rewarding effort over anything else. You can also change the students mother tongue - meaning you can have a class of students learning Spanish, but some can be doing it with English instruction and others with German! You are able to give your students a sign up code, and then track their progress, (if they have already been using Duolingo, it counts their previous experience). This interacts with the normal Duolingo accounts. Duolingo grows to your needs and levels and it's aim is to get you to be 100% accurate, (it says you are X% fluent, but I think that is the wrong word to use, as there are all sorts of fluencies).ĭuolingo have recently launched a Schools Edition. When using it you are tested for reading, writing, speaking and listening skills.

You can learn through the browser on your laptop/computer or on your tablet/phone, (with the activities being slightly different between the two types of devices). It is used by people across the world to learn many languages, including Spanish, German, Italian, Dutch, English and they constantly adding more, (Russian is about to launch any day now!)

Duolingo has long been the leader of independent language learning.
