A great "free" way to learn or brush up on a language. The ads are not too disruptive, but with very few mistakes you are forced to buy back in or delay your lesson; a more generous algorithm might be more conducive to encourage usage and learning...but then I guess they would like you to buy in for unlimited play. It's probably worth it if you can skip lessons as it sometimes feels it progresses slowly. I recommend playing without noise or distractions to prevent mistakes.

I enjoy the challenges, different lesson styles. However, what Duolingo lacks is actual explanations of grammatical rules and sentence structure, for instance. The lesson overview is largely unhelpful and bare. If someone were to start a new concept/conjugation they should be able to learn about it and not just guess the correct answer based on context in hopes of getting it right. I think it would be helpful to include a "why" at the bottom after an incorrect answer is submitted if it applies.

The lessons start easy and become harder, building off what was previously learned. There is a lot of repetition to ensure that even if you happen to "guess" correctly the first time you actually learn the words and how to properly use them. The lessons center around a particular topic so you get that word repetition quickly, then move on to a different topic. There is a good mix of reading, listening and speaking to ensure you are learning all aspects of the language.
