DUOLINGO


   
This week, i would like to introduce you Duolingo which is a free language learning platform that includes a language learning website and app, as well as a digital language proficiency assessment center. It offers fifty-four different courses across twenty three languages.
                Duolingo was created by Carnegie Mellon University professor Luis Von Ahn and his graduated student Severin Hacker.  Now, all materials and activities are written and edited by expert team of teachers and authors and are organized into core subject areas such as Skills, Grammar and Vocabulary. Everybody can find whatever they are looking for language learning.
               
Duolingo helps you learn new vocabulary and grammar through interactive games and quizzes. There is a strong emphasis on pronunciation since you will listen to new vocabulary and then right away practise saying those words. It also shows your progress as you use the program.
                Duolingo is suitable for everyone who wants to learn a foreign language himself as a second language, especially in English and the other social languages such as French, Espanola etc. Thousands of teachers also use it to enhance their lessons. Duolingo lessons give each student personalized feedback and practise preparing them to get the most out of classroom instruction.





   The purpose of Duolingo is to provide extensive written lessons and dictation with speaking practice for more advanced used. It also helps you target your weakest words. It shows them while you work through module.  A lot of the learning that goes on in Duolingo is visual. There are pictures for learning vocabulary, colors that indicate whether you are right or wrong and highlighted tapable text for new words and grammar points. You also have to complete lesson to unlock new lessons. This is great for lazy language learners who need a little extra motivation.


               
    I recommend this website because it is really professionally prepared  and very dependable. It is easy to use for everyone.  It can be seen  that creator of the page has been making an effort to help both the learners and teachers.  You will spend funny time in Duolingo while you are working with it. I use it to learn in French now and I will use it to learn other languages such as Espanola. I can also say that when i start my career, I will use this site. If you want to learn a new language as professionally, this site is at your service!
