Overview
Duolingo is an app that helps you learn Spanish, French, and more. You do small lessons that teach you different words in the language. It either has multiple choice, matching, speaking, or creating sentences in these lessons. This app has different categories depending on what level you are on. You are able to collect rewards, so you continue to learn the language. Duolingo enables users to opt in to push notifications, so the app automatically reminds users when its time to study.
