The 10 Best Duolingo Alternatives You NEED to Try

1

Duolingo

Although I’ve always loved Duolingo, I’ve always thought that you need to pair it with another app or resource in order to become fluent. Now with the Duolingo Path update, I think many of us are looking for Duolingo alternatives that can fill the void of our beloved Duolingo tree.

Italki

In short, if you aren’t already taking classes on iTalki, you need to start right away. Nothing will improve your language skills faster and get you to fluency than actually being forced to speak to a native speaker for 30 minutes to an hour.

Babbel

Although Babbel doesn’t have the gamified structure of Duolingo, I think that if you are looking for official lessons that are an upgrade from what Duolingo can offer, Babbel is your best bet.

LingQ

Thank Dayna for all the research. I uninstalled Duo for LingQ. It has all the customization and more that Duo had. LingQ caters to your interests and doesn't force feed a lesson plan down your throat.

Kwiziq

If you are someone who loves organization, Kwiziq is perfect. Basically, they follow the CEFR scale from A1 to C2. A1 is a super beginner and C2 is an educated native speaker level. They divide grammar subjects into these sections and have a visual representation of what you’ve covered.

Memrise

Now, if you’ve been in the language-learning game for a while, you have heard of Memrise. It’s predominantly run by contributors from all over the world so you’ll be able to find games, pre-made flashcards, and quizzes on all kinds of topics, including a ton of languages.

Drops

Drops cost $7.99 per month or you could buy a Lifetime membership for $94.99. I would definitely try out the one-week free trial first and see if Drops can replace Duolingo for you. For me, I thought Drops was super fun and one of the better-gamified apps to get you motivated to learn.

Mondly

Although I don’t love the organization and look of Mondly, I absolutely loved the audio hands-free lessons and I think Mondly has the best pronunciation recognition software of any of the apps on this list of best Duolingo alternatives.

Clozemaster

Clozemaster used to be a free language resource, but they recently switched to a paid model. Although you can still complete a few sentences per day, in order to really use this resource effectively you’d have to pay.
