I have both Super Duolingo and Babbel, and I like Doulingo better. I imagine free Duolingo is probably worthless, but Super Duolingo on a desktop or laptop I think works okay.
I just started Babbel recently (for french) when it was 50% off for a lifetime subscription. I really like that it explains grammar, pronunciation, and syntax. If I know the "why" of how something is done, I remember it better. I do 3-10 lessons a day. It's a bit dry, but my french has improved in just a few weeks. I'm motivated because I want a better job. 🇨🇦, so all the best jobs are posted as bilingual. I'm also using Duolingo for a bit of fun. It puts into practice a lot of what I learned with Babbel. The match games and speed runs don't give you time to translate in your head, so you end up thinking in french more quickly. I tried LingQ. Hated it and canceled. Tried Busuu, but that stupid bell drove me mad after 10 minutes. There was no way to mute it. I'm signing up for a "Leisure Learning" french classes at the university this autumn. I've already learned enough to surpass Level 1, and I'm burning through what Level 2 will offer. I'll probably sign up for Level 3. There are 8 levels, and each level takes 10 weeks. Completing all 8 levels will place you at B2. Hopefully, by the spring of 2026, I'll be able to add "Bilingual English/French" to my resume!
Curently learning Navajo. Duolingo does have a course but its not tbr best. It doesnt make sense that they dont have voice recordings after the first lesson for the Navajo course on duo lingo. Which is super important for a language like Navajo too. Rosetta stone does have navajo too through their "Endangered Language Program." They have Inuit and Ojibwe too in this program. its been so fun so far to learn. I work in the Navajo nation all the time and have several co workers that speak it fluently so i cant practice it. The problem with these native american languages thkugh is that theres not a ton of resour 3:05 rces to learn them.
What about Duolingo Max? It now has AI and they now explain answers and mistakes and the intro to each module explains the grammar. Learning Spanish with max is awesome.
Great video! Duolingo, which I use, does have grammar actually and it has translations. They explain alot on the app. When you go to a lesson, there is a button on the top (or maybe bottom) that offers detailed explanations especially for verb conjugations. These grammar explanations are not available for every lesson though. It's normally at the MAIN lesson for a particular topic but you can always go back to learn the grammar.
BUT, I will say that Duolingo has unrealistic sentences such as "My horse is eating over there" or basically sentences that are pointless. Also, Duolingo tends to show the same sentences (repetitive). Duolingo makes language learning fun by making it similar to a game where each week, you are stacked against other language learners to see how you do but I find myself wanting to complete a lesson only so that I can keep my daily streak going or stay on top in my leaderboard. I'm about to try some free Babbel lessons.
Max also forces you to have everyday conversations and also listen to a radio type broadcast and answer questions about it.
Very informative, thank you a lot from Uzbekistan.
Thanks for the video. I really like Duolingo.

Duolingo VS Rosetta Stone VS Pimsleur you write . But where is Pimsleur ? You review babel instead of Pimsleur.
Would you say you could get a long-term retention using Babbel?
Yes, it has an SRS as a base.
I got busuu language learning app ad
Waw nice content
Great video! I'm waiting on your Assimil video.
Assimil is the best. But less convenient 'coz not an app
@@SirMorak They do have an app now. They're trying to replace the books with it, but the app isn't that good.
@@Themindofreyrey oh alright 👍🏻
