Duolingo

Duolingo is designed for language learning, it is fun and it is free! you can either download the app on your mobile device or you can go to the website directly! I would like to download it on my phone so I can learn and practice English anytime and anywhere.

Here is the link of Dolingo and you can explore the website by yourself:

I would like to briefly introduce how to use Duolingo to learn and practice your English.


1. Download the app on your phone and sign up for it.

2. You can start from the beginning or you can choose the level you want to start with.

3. Dolingo provides you with multiple choice exercise to consolidate and develop your knowledge of vocabulary and grammar, also it provides you with translation exercise. in each short lesson, you can gain instant feedback after answering each question.





4.You can track your progress after completing each task.





As a teacher,I would recommend my students to download Duolingo on their phone, so they can make the most of their spare time to learn and practice their English.There are two main reasons why I think Duolingo can engage students in English learning and makes learning more interesting and effective.

• Each time students complete a task, you got score.the system provides instant feedback after each task, it makes students feel like they are making progress. this kind of positive reinforcement can motivate students to continue the following task.
• Each time students go through a task, the system will help them to identify their weakness so that they can focus on practicing their weak skills, resulting in better learning outcome!

As you know, nothing is perfect, Dolingo is helpful and effective if you want to enlarge your vocabulary or improve your grammar, but it is less helpful if you want to improve your spoken English or improve your writing skills, as it doesn't provide you opportunity to communicate in English.
