Overview video
Duolingo is on our list because of its cleverly designed system for teaching foreign languages: The lessons are presented as a fun and addictive game environment. While building vocabulary, you win points and progress through levels.
What really makes Duolingo a standout among the competition is the live website translation mode. Snippets are given to you based on your skill level. Your answers are then compared with other submissions to create a more accurate translation, smoothing out the bumps of a robot translator. The user gains real world translation skills, while helping real websites.
