Came back after years, waiting still for Slovak to be added but hasn't happened yet. Duolingo works well motivating you, it's intuitive, so I do recommend that. But I'm shocked after coming back and finding so intensely much advertising which wasn't there before. Especially for their own paid programme. Duolingo, I don't need reminding after every lesson, this is way overdone and to no avail.

Overall the application is fine. There are some considerations: Today's review section is VERY repetitive, you can fo the same exercises 10 times in a row. The speaking mechanic is one of it's weakness (even with native speakers), and hints are not always synchronized with the unit (meaning suggestions are useless). Grammar is inexistent. On every mayor update your progress is lost if you finished the course. The feedback you give takes months to be applied. The family plan is the best option.

I'm no longer able to practice for more than one heart. They also messed with multipliers running out and no more streak freezes from chests. The pop-up ads have become loud, long and intolerable. New exercises have you gambling on what the right answer is, even when there should be multiple possibilities. The free version is no longer what it once was. It's as if they're annoying you to upgrade to the paid version. I have a 3 year streak, yet with the new updates I am no longer a happy user.
