DuoLingo review: language learning as a game

iOS Category: Language learningPrice: Free (with in-app purchases)

A Carnegie Mellon University project, DuoLingo uses crowd-sourced translations to build its whole language-learning system that will take your to intermediate knowledge in no time. And while crowd-sourcing (which is, basically, translations from random people on the web) might sound terrible to some of you, that skepticism immediately goes away after you use the app for a while.
