Learn new languages with Duolingo

The language learning platform Duolingo, selected among the best Android and iOS apps in 2013, has finally released an official application for Windows phones. The service is very popular among mobile users, reaching over 50 million downloads through Google Play and Apple store since its launch. From today, November 19, Duolingo expands to our platform so you can download and try the app on any Windows Phone 8.1 device with 512 MB of RAM.

Duolingo for Windows Phone lets you study selected foreign languages for free providing you have an internet connection. When you open the app for the first time, you will see a welcome window with options to create a profile or sign in. After clicking on ‘Create a profile’ you need to select a course. The courses for English speakers include Danish, Dutch, Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese, while users from non-English speaking countries (17 in total) have less options to choose from. For example Spanish users can choose among 5 languages, French speakers among 2, German speaking among two courses.

After selecting the course, pick the pace of study – casual, regular, serious, or insane. Then just start your journey. First, tap on the basics, and then continue to the other sections. Duolingo offers easy to follow, funny lessons with pronunciations and hearts for tracking the overall progress. If you are into a new language, Duolingo is definitely worth trying.
