Summary | The language learning app Duolingo has many happy users. It is free and really effective in teaching a basic knowledge of foreign languages. The app can remember what grammatical formations and words a user struggles with and keeps quizzing them about it. Their statistics say that after 34 hours of using the app, users are on the same level as students who have been learning a language in class for a semester. If one wants to become really competent in a foreign language, it is of course necessary to get a human tutor.
