Master a New Language With These Helpful Apps

Duolingo is perfect for people who love mixing games and learning. Full of quick, bite-size exercises, users can earn points, meet daily streaks, and unlock new levels as they gain vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation proficiency with each test. There are virtual rewards to help motivate even apprehensive learners, and to help you encourage consistency, Duolingo has a "shatter" feature that will chip away at your highest score if you're not practicing regularly. There's also a Duolingo Stories feature to help you better your comprehensive skills via short stories. Though the basic app is free, there's an upgraded premium version ($7 per month) that offers an ad-free experience and offline usage.

Duolingo is available for download on the App Store and Google Play.
