3. What is Duolingo?
Duolingo is a learning application that we can use to learn foreign
languages namely Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and English.
Easily, The method used is the same as language learning methods in general,
namely speaking, listening, writing, and reading. This application interface is
also very simple, so it's very easy to use. In addition to Windows Phone, it is also
available for Android and iPhone. So that you can learn wherever and whenever
you want directly from your favorite gadget.
Duolingo was launched in beta on November 30, 2011 and collected a
waiting list of more than 300,000 users. Duolingo was launched to the public on
June 19, 2012 and in January 2014 had 25 million users, and had 10 million
active users.
In 2013, Apple chose Duolingo as the iPhone App of the Year, the first
time this award was given to an educational application. This application also
received the title of Google Play's "Best of the Best" 2013.

4. Steps to use the duolingo application
• First Open the Duolingo application, you will be given two choices, namely "New
User" and "Existing User". Say you are a new user, tap the option "New User" and
start registering yourself. For Android users, in addition to sign-up with email, you
can also use a Google account or Facebook. On iOS, you can use a Twitter or Facebook
account.

5. • After entering, you will be directed to choose what language you want to learn. Suppose
English into Indonesian. Then you will be invited to hone language skills with various
tests on Duolingo. There are Basic 1, Basic 2, Phrases, Food, Animals, Plural, Clothing,
Colors, Questions, Connecting Words, and so on. In each language learned, the
learning system is divided into eight categories. Each category consists of 15 different
lessons. At the beginning of the lesson you will learn memorable words such as
"Women, Men, and Children". And if you have passed in a number of lessons then you
will get a reward and also go up to the next level.

6. • Shifting the screen to the left, you will see the "Friends" option. Here, you can "follow"
other people to compare values. If you move again to the left, you will enter the Duolingo
store. Here, you can buy various items with the help of Lingot. There are three items
available, namely "Heart Refill" which is useful for adding one life automatically when a
wrong answer and "Formal Attire and Champagne Track suite" which are> outfits to be
worn on the avatar. Lingot itself is the applicable currency in Duolingo. How to get it is
easy too, play various tests provided and you can reach Lingot as much as possible.

7. •In tests at Duolingo, you must try to answer every challenge presented.
However, you must pay attention to your life. There are four lives that
must be maintained. If not, you must repeat the test from the
beginning.

8. Advantages of the Duolingo application
The advantages of this application are the method of
delivering learning material that is very fun with a system
such as games that make users learn to feel like playing, then
a very interesting visual display that is supported by audio,
this application is also very user friendly in this application
is quite complete, ranging from listening, writing, speaking,
grammar and vocabulary, and available on various
platforms, this application is very light when used so it does
not overload the platform used. And almost there are no
weaknesses that exist in this application.

9. Weekness of the Duolingo application
The weakness of Duolingo is the lack of language material that
exists because there are only five languages namely, Spanish, French,
German, Portuguese and English. The language of instruction at
Duolingo also lacks material, for example in the Indonesian language
introduction Duolingo only provides English language material. In
addition, this application requires internet connection to access it, so it is
quite difficult for some people who do not have an internet connection to
access it, so it is quite difficult for some people who do not have an
internet connection such as being out of signal coverage or not having
internet access. Maybe if this application could be better if these
shortcomings were removed so users could be more satisfied using it.

10. Concluded
It can be concluded that this application is
highly recommended for those who want to learn a
foreign language. Besides being free and with
features in the Duolingo application, it is very
interesting to make users feel like they are playing
and will be passionate about learning a foreign
language.
