Does Duolingo work or is it a lie?
Although the company claims that its teaching method is based on scientifically proven studies, the question still remains: Can you really learn with Duolingo?
The most important thing is to know that yes, it is possible, but it depends on the dedication of each one.
The application should not be used as the main learning tool, even in its paid version, because it does not work with the language completely. It works with conversation, pronunciation and the most used terms that will serve as a kick to start.
That’s why here are some tips on how to learn with Duolingo:
- Read in the language you are learning. It’s very important that you start breathing the language you want to learn, because being alone in the app doesn’t help your brain to fix what was learned in the app. Need to exercise!
- Don’t advance through tasks as if you were advancing through a racing game! Do the exercises calmly, repeat the pronunciations and come back to them until you are sure you understand what the voice says without having to read;
- Watch series and movies in their original language. It’s easy to see dubbed, it’s even nice when the dubbing is more than perfect, isn’t it? But when you need to learn the language, watching dubbed doesn’t help. Therefore, avoid watching it dubbed and avoid focusing on the subtitles, as you need to get used to the lines.
- Don’t just study for ten minutes. The duolingo app recommends that you start small and increase over time, but many people dedicate little time a day, when they study every day. So dedicate more time!

So, go to the icon that has a face and choose Create Profile. Here you can connect directly with your Facebook account, Google account or create an exclusive account for it using an email.
