    What is Duolingo?

    Duolingo is the most popular language learning app in the world - over 100 million active users monthly. The green owl has become an internet phenomenon and a daily routine for millions of people.

    How does it work?

    Learning is divided into short 5-10 minute lessons built on gamification principles:

    • Daily streaks - motivate you to return every day
    • Hearts and XP - mistakes cost you lives, correct answers earn you points
    • Leagues - compete with other users
    • AI personalization - the algorithm adapts difficulty

    Which languages?

    More than 40 languages, from Czech for English speakers to Japanese, Korean, and even Klingon. For Czechs, the best option is to learn from English.

    Super Duolingo (paid plan)

    For approximately 190 CZK/month you get:

    • Ad-free
    • Unlimited hearts (no waiting after a mistake)
    • Advanced AI exercises

    💚 Tip: Free with Revolut Premium/Metal/Ultra

    My verdict
