GBI’m learning Portuguese on Duolingo but… I’m learning Portuguese on Duolingo but after several months in and a purchased 1 year subscription I am told that it isn’t in fact Portuguese from Portugal I’m learning but Brazilian Portuguese. No sign of European Portuguese available any time soon either. Duolingo is very effective though. It makes practice fun.

PTDinolingo language learning site is an excellent tool to teach languages Dinolingo language learning site is an excellent tool to teach languages. My kids (5 and 8 years old) are really enjoying, especially the games. The videos are short, direct and with fine pronunciation. The offer of less common languages is really good (in our case, Greek), as it was difficult for us to find physical classroom learning. As new features, this platform could have: i) Different games, besides what is being offered (memory cards, sound/image check); ii) Extra games where it would be possible for different users (at least of the same subscription) to play between them, as a contest and as a partnership.

GBMostly Pros, and a few Cons Pros: I love the immersion method, the ability to navigate back and forth through different word groups and the ability to download on multiple tablets and use the little kid mode for my toddler while still having access to big kid mode for my older child. Cons: Ok so the movies zooming around and changing channels are kind of distracting, and the ongoing music is annoying. I do want my kids to get repetition of Spanish language but the music and dizzying video is over the top. My kids won't use it more than 10 minutes at a time. The other negative aspect is just the price. I can see a lot went into developing the system, but I'd love to see a significantly lower price for year membership.

AEDinolingo makes it fun for my kids to… Dinolingo makes it fun for my kids to learn a language. It’s good that recently more concepts and vocabularies were added. Also, it is helpful that there are videos with the language itself being used and the kids say after the words introduced. One thing to improve on however is the quality of the videos. Some graphics and arts are outdated my kids sometimes find the images scary or weird. Overall, it is a good app that is reasonably priced.

GBNeeds more options for intermediate and advanced users It would be great if there were different levels ie beginner, intermediate and advanced. My son already has a lot of experience, so most if the lessons are too easy for him and really just a review. He loves the videos and games, it's a shame it's not more challenging for him.
