Best Practices: How to Get the Most from Duolingo

Maximizing Duolingo: Tips for Effective Language Learning

To use Duolingo effectively, consistency is key. Aim for short daily sessions to build long-term habits. Use the “Practice” button to review older material and strengthen memory retention. Enable audio exercises and read aloud to improve listening and pronunciation. Combine Duolingo with real-world exposure: watch films, read books, or speak with native speakers. Turn on notifications to maintain your streak and stay accountable. Explore Duolingo Stories for contextual learning and Duolingo Podcasts for immersion. While the app is powerful, supplementing with other resources ensures deeper understanding. Use it as your foundation and build from there.
