At the top of our guide to the best language-learning apps is the much-loved and widely used Duolingo. I’ve even written that “I never thought learning a language could be fun and addictive until I found Duolingo.”
Duolingo offers gamified, bite-sized lessons that build everyday habits using a leaderboard, streak psychology, social accountability, and urgency mechanics. It’s an engaging app that is both fun and easy to use. It’s not for everyone, though, as evidenced by the rise of other language learning apps like Promova.
