Duolingo

[Avereeni]

Would you like to learn a language easily without struggle?

Would you like to master the arts of speaking French, German, or any other language?

I've got just the site for you!!!!!!

Duolingo is a site that lets you learn new languages for free, with no charge at all. You can choose which languages you want to learn, and they provide you with lessons that aren't that hard.

Please note that new languages are being patched right now, and will be released in the future.

Advanced learners can take a test if they've mastered the language they are learning.

There are also courses that are specially designed for your language. If you speak another language only, it will provide something along the lines "English for Japanese Speakers", etc, etc.

So far, here are the languages that have been released. I will upload more that will come out in the future

Spanish
French
German
Italian
Portuguese
Dutch (Netherlands) (In Beta)
Irish (In Beta)
