There are different languages on this planet and learning one, aside from your mother tongue, is quite an uphill task. However the digital age has made it possible to learn a foreign language basically by spending a short amount of your life in front of a PC screen. Oh, the PC screen is quite ancient now because, thanks to linguistic apps like Duolingo, you can learn your desired language anytime on the move, on your smartphone or tablet. Since we mentioned Duolingo, we ought to tell you that it has been the most favoured & downloaded application throughout the years on both the Android & iOS ecosystems, just due to its extensive list of accessible languages and its simple teaching process.<\/p>\n

However, users have been lately expecting more from an application of this genre. Duolingo\u2019s unavoidable issues of content redundancy over the time, inaccessibility of some major languages (like, Chinese for example) and provision of beginner level content have left people asking for an application based\u00a0language learning service that can fill up these gaps. In this way, we have been thinking about these problems lately and thus,\u00a0we have compiled a list of 7 commendable (if not, better) Duolingo alternatives for Android and iOS:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Memrise<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Memrise is a very famous free-to-download application that has an extensive list of more than 100 dialects for you to pick and learn. In comparison to Duolingo, it gives you with a\u00a0game-style<\/strong>\u00a0learning of your desired language in the form of training you as an undercover agent, who is about to visit a universe practicing your picked language. Aside from this weird concept, Memrise presents an advanced level of language teaching with video clips of locals talking to you, which is certainly a step above Duolingo\u2019s introductory\u00a0level.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0busuu<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

You get intuitive\u00a0<\/strong>fill-in-the-blank type questions<\/strong>, with the audio versions of them accessible alongside.
