Aprenda Español Con Duolingo

As you've probably noticed the title of this post is in Spanish. That is because I have found a great resource that I want to share with y'all. Whether you are a student that will need to learn or is currently learning Spanish, or someone who just wants to learn in for personal benefit this can definitely help you. I personally have struggled with Spanish. I took two years in high school, and another two in college and still only managed to pick up basic words and phrases. For me learning another language is extremely hard, and so far this tool that I have found makes it extremely easy and it doesn't feel overwhelming. I found this app because I am going to have to take Spanish again starting this upcoming fall semester and I want to go in to it with a decent amount of knowledge so that hopefully I won't struggle with it as much as I have in the past. Without further adieu let me introduce you to Duolingo.

Let me say first off the Duolingo is completely and 100% FREE. And that is saying a lot when many learn on your own language programs can cost up to $400! Crazy right? (I'm looking at you Rosetta Stone) Along with being 100% free they also have android, iPhone, and iPad apps (along with the desktop version) that are also 100% free to use. So not only can you learn Spanish, or one of the other 4 languages they also offer, but I can do it from the convenience of my iPhone or iPad as well.

This graphic above is from the Duolingo website and just shows a little bit about how the system works. I have used both the desktop site and the iPhone app so far and I think they both work great. In your lessons the way you learn things varies from you typing from english to spanish and vice versa, hearing phrases and typing them and even speaking a phrase to make sure you are pronouncing it correctly. Also you have the option to connect with Facebook and then you can connect and compete with friends, I think this is a great motivation tool because it makes it fun knowing you can compete with your friends and it motivates you to do your best.

Overall, I would highly recommend this app/ website for anyone trying to learn a language. The interface is great, its very user friendly and it actually makes learning a language fun. If something can make learning a language fun than it is definitely a winner in my book. 

Just so you know this is no a sponsored post, it is just a website that I found and love and I highly encourage you to check it out if it seems like something you might like too!

Btw - the title translates to "Learning Spanish with Duoliingo." Look you're learning already!
