Duolingo is very gamified yes, but really the main idea here is spaced repetition. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaced_repetition My friends that are in med school all use spaced-repetition to cram information into their memory banks, and the app they use (Anki) lets users share flashcard packs. Incidentally, aside from medschool-related packs, there's also packs for learning most languages. I don't think you can ever learn a language through spaced repetition, but it's certainly useful for expanding your vocabulary (learning new words). I started out with Duolingo but switched to Anki because I'm learning a tonal language which doesn't quite sound right with Duolingo's TTS (and the Anki card packs are accompanied with recordings of real speakers). ..and yet I still pop into Duolingo every day though to get my good-boy points :))) |
