You love Dolingo and hate them, but I am in green owls

Dollingo League Table

My colleague Megan Dolingo is losing trust. About her recent article about why she is considering abandoning her 550+ day line, is very well reasoned, but as a 700+ -day striker, I still believe in the app. It seems that many of you agree, and I encourage the suspects to double.

Megan presented six good reasons why he no longer felt the benefit of the most popular tool to learn language. He also voted for readers in his article, and the results below show the nature of your love with these apps.

Do you think language learning apps really help you learn a new language?


You were quite divided, but one -third of the respondents successfully learned a lot from apps to learn language. Another 25 % feel that they are helpful with other apps. The remaining 42 % either feel that they are not an effective way to learn language or they are just about engagement. I do not recommend that they are useless.

As someone who uses Dolingo for at least 20 minutes a day, I am a great lawyer for this recognized faulty learning tool. I really believe that Megan should quit his series, but I will also be up with the green owl’s eyes.

We are not slaves of our Dolingo Straike

The Megan app was not fully condemning the app, but she was considering leaving an epic series. Of his six points, the first three are about the fact that the Streck is no longer encouraging him to learn. Specifically, he suggested that, for:

  • Straike used it daily app, but for at least periods, sometimes under a minute.
  • He encouraged to pay the Streak frozen to maintain it.
  • It used the app less effectively, which aims to increase the structure rather than genuinely learn.

That’s right that the Streck is not like learning you, but I suggest that it is not a point of view. Straike is just to make sure you engage with the app every day. If you do not want to do so, there is no problem in giving up the series. Daily engagement can be very high for poor people, but if you want to make a steady advance, there is no soft incentive to access learning every day.

One of the first commentators on his article has said it very well:

“Think about it like an alarm to exercise. The alarm will tell you that the time for exercise is, but what you do in exercise is your call.”

This is a great resemblance. You just don’t sit in the gym to tell people every morning and sit in the gym. On the pair, once you log in and take a quick lesson, you also get other concessions that encourage dopamine to keep you there-league tables and XP multi-pads keep me busy. You can’t compete in these leagues without learning a little bit by mistake.

Dollingo’s part of my daily routine, but if it was easier to do it twice every week, I would just quit my series. You can still compete in the leagues. As long as you are provoking your series in front of friends, no one cares what it is. I am so proud that they do not care about it in the early paragraph, but none of my real life friends care.

So use the app because it is your appropriate, whether it be five minutes every day or one hour on Sunday. This is your servant, not your master. Forget your line – it’s not worth stress or migraine.

Poor learning is still learning

Dolingo practice full screen

Its pieces include Megan’s next two points of app features and operations. The two important points he made were that the refreshments of the completed units disrupted its progress, and the lack of some features frustrated him with the app.

They will not get any argument from me on these scores. Dolingo can be crazy, especially if you support the highly learning way. However, I take a simple sight. It’s not like classes or many textbooks. But it’s much better than anything.

It is also fine about the app that rarely describes the structure or gramical rules of the phrase. Dollingo words are great for words, but if you do not learn grammar structures, you may lose a bit why the answer is the answer you see on the screen.

If the app does not put you on it, you will not learn anything.

I have to do an assumption here: the team behind this device should consider it permanently, and maybe there is no good way for you to teach grammar complexes and keep you engaged. In other words, grammar is boring.

But the reason is that you are on the first app. If you want to learn a language, you engage with it. This means to find the gramical structure to better understand them. There are a lot of free resources for this – Chat GPT and other AI chat boats are new and effective examples.

Duolingo creators may feel like hungry from profits, but maybe there is a way to have their obsession. You may not like the learning point of view or the difference of knowledge, but if the app does not put you on it, you will not learn anything. The pair may have cut off the most boring parts of the process, and it brought me to Megan’s last point.

Pair of daily questions

Like many people, Megan also feels that Dollingo is more busy than learning. This is a well -criticized. Like almost every app, the main purpose of doolingo is to stick to you, whether you are learning or not.

I see this, but I don’t care. I acknowledge that I am a bit addicted to colors, noise and league tables. As being accustomed to apps, it is not a bad place in my eyes to be tied to the learning app. I am so accustomed to the Dumpster Fire Social Media Site, now known as X, and is teaching me anything. It just makes me angry.

Dollingo’s engagement procedures are very smart. If you want to perform well in the leagues, you need to log in for double XP twice a day. If you really want to improve, you need to take a triple XP bonus. In the aforementioned screenshot, it meant that I needed to have seven lessons a day to read the next story on my way. I rotate my eyes, but then I take a breath and practice more than what I intended to do.

Bending on the learning app is not a bad place.

Megan hoped that more information would be received after making his own struck for 18 months. Hope is good, but the expectation is like that. I do not expect Dollingo to make me a fluent Spanish speaker. I just hope that I end up every day either learning or practicing a small Spanish. If I’m not going backwards, I don’t leave home to practice with real people, this is a win in my book.

And it works for me. I am an intermediate speaker, and I have to consider my biggest problem. What I want to say can say in quite the basic Spanish, but the answer that comes back from local speakers can bump me. However, I am quickly picking up an extra word that I have learned on the app, which I get in the answers to Spanish speakers. This may be the difference between getting a summary of the phrase and the lost feeling. The pair is working.

Dolingo Defense

Given the clear flaws of Doingo, it is easy to ignore the benefits of the app. These are the other reasons I like.

Slow progress is the prediction

We have already touched it, but once you accept that Doingo will not teach you the language overnight, you can see the improvement gradually. For 15 minutes in the morning you use it as you have achieved something, especially if you do it as part of your daily routine. If you need to learn the language for a specific journey in a few months, it may be different, but if your goal is to finish a little better day than your start, it works.

It’s cheaper than lessons

While we mourn the goals of the app or its creators, let’s at least give it credit as a price resource. Many people use the free version of Dollingo, but I upgraded the paid version so I could leave ads and not end my life. It works in Mexico up to about $ 8 every month. Of course, this is not as good as a tutor or group class, but I often use it every month or more 12 hours. How many tuition will I buy every month? Less than an hour, of course.

As much as you want, when you want

The pair is far more flexible than fixed classes. I use it for about five minutes and about an hour on others. I decide I’m going to do this time, and how much time I am in the mood to spend on the app. I usually do a lot of work early in the morning, before most classes begin. In addition, I am a prejudiced person. When I speak to other people, I am afraid to make mistakes, so it is better to learn myself, but slow down my progress.

This is not completely social

Connecting with others is not the one that brings people to doling, but this can be overcome. My 11 -year -old niece is thousands of miles away, and when we are in the same room, we struggle to find a joint conversation field. But as a Dollingo friend of mine, we ask questions together, leave encouraging messages, and promote XP. I’m not cool mamas, so I like to have this little family link.

Dolingo Triple XP

I completely find the frustration of people With the app, I am so fortunate that it can have time to commit it, but everyone is different, and if you are less on time to learn, Dolingo’s snacks can be enough to remove you. I don’t always live in the mood to extend my series, and I occasionally admit to using fraud I found mistakenly, but only as the last resort. As the school teachers used to say to me, “You are Just deceive yourself. “

I hope that Megan will get a better app or a learning tool for her situation, and it must definitely guarantee it. Dolingo will not flow to you, and you don’t need a little green owl that harasses you. However, for me, every day, it is capable of harassing a local speaker without panic.
