Duolingo - Free language learning and translation platform

Post by MarkDY »

"Duolingo is a free language-learning and crowdsourced text translation platform. The service is designed so that, as users progress through the lessons, they simultaneously help to translate websites and other documents. As of December 2013, Duolingo offers Latin American Spanish, French, German, Brazilian Portuguese, and Italian courses for English speakers, as well as American English for Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, and Russian speakers. It is available on the Web, iOS, and Android platforms.
Duolingo started its private beta[clarification needed] on 30 November 2011 and accumulated a waiting list of more than 300,000 users.Duolingo launched for the general public on 19 June 2012 and as of December 2013 has 16 million users. In 2013, Apple chose Duolingo as its iPhone App of the Year, the first time this honor was awarded to an educational application."

So where's the link to download Duolingo? Where its main home page? Is it available in Google Play Store for Android too?

Come on. The OP should have posted some links to it besides the Wikipedia page for it.

I like Duolingo. I've finished their Japanese course, and they now also have lots of other Asian languages that were not in the OP's original list (eg., Mandarin Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean).

For Japanese, my opinion is that it makes sense to start with a more structured grammar book or course that explains grammar points clearly first (with example sentences), but after that Duolingo is a fun way to get continuous daily exposure and practice.
