So, in many places I see Duolingo being criticized, with some even calling it harmful. Now, I've used it for 3 months, really liked it, and was planning to keep using it honestly, as so far it's been a great tool to learn specifically on the go (quiet walks, sitting in public transport etc). And honestly, I paid for a year of duo, so sunken cost fallacy is definitely at play too.
That said.. if a better replacement does truly exist, I am curious. If a great all grounds covering alternative can be pointed out, it might be helpful to all current Duolingo users.
So, requirements:
- Usable on mobile devices. Personally use Android.
- Primary focus on vocab. Other basics being included like Kanji are definitely a plus too.
- No set limit per day to how much learning you can do. Many tools use a limited amount of new words per day. Being able to adapt would be a huge plus. Not a requirement.
- If it's multiplatform (pc and mobile), cross platform is also very much appreciated.
So yeah, I have decided to be open minded.. if Duo is so had, what other app is better at covering the basics for many topics?
