Duolingo overdoes it with the gamification I switched to Babbel because it really got on my nerves
Comment from : Tom Reiner

Duolingo is way worse than babbel, you're just repeating the words, you get no depth, but Babbel is way much better and gives different scenarios
Comment from : Juz rhyme

I'm at 278 days with Duolingo Portuguese I feel my vocabulary is growing at a steady pace and I'm very comfortable with verb conjugations I don't mind the strange sentences that Duolingo uses I think the intent is to not allow you to anticipate the words in a sentence but you have to focus on the actual words in the clue The one area that I am lacking is time spent listening to the sentences rather than reading them I have been able to read a Brazilian newspaper for a long time but I still cannot hear what people are saying (even the most basic sentences) Overall, I like Duolingo

Great Review Thanks
Comment from : Anthony Curtis

I’ve had “It is raining men” on Duolingo
Comment from : How-to gamer

duolingo really likes to make you naturally learn the vocab when i tried the dutch lesson, after i got to unit 2 session 1 i just kept seeing the same words like het and de and i just learned how to use them naturally also you can click the words to see what they translate to

Comment from : Maria de Lourdes Anies Sanchez

Thanks for the in-depth review I was using DuoLingo and recently purchased Babble to give it a try I was about to cancel Babbel but will be reconsidering after a few more weeks of trialing it
Comment from : Derrek Arce

This tutorial was great to guide me to picking the best language learning app for me!brbrThank you for this amazing comparison
Comment from : Justin Treml

Great video, very informative!
Comment from : Caitlin

Duolingo also tries to through in their toxic idealogical point of view through the phrasing of their lessons: I hate children is a common one in Norwegian, My mother doesn't know how to cook, my father is a nurse, etc If you take a subscription with Babbel, is the price inclusive of all languages?
Comment from : A Rankin

Is there heavy Denoising on your voice?
Comment from : 19Stride

Thanks for the video, by the way you can refill your hearts in the free version of Duolingo by doing simple review exercises or watching ads! Good luck on your learning everyone
Comment from : nonsolonoia

I've been using the free version duolingo for about two years and I love it, but I think I will try Babble as well Thank you for the review
Comment from : TpyoDawn

I have found that Duolingo is great as a reinforcement tool, not necessarily as a comprehensive learning tool
Comment from : JAK603

Thanks for ur review !! I will use both app !!
Comment from : Kimmy Wan

I want to learn German because my grandma was German and I wanted to go to Germany with her, but she ended up passing away a little while back I still intend to go to Germany though, just after I’ve completely learned the language rather than just the basics
Comment from : MemoryGalaxy

"No one would ever say that"-me using Duolingo
Comment from : TravelingBuildingGrowing

Very informative video I've been on the fence on which one to try And I like your idea on using both May just is the free version while paying for Babbel
Comment from : Adam A

I recently learned that duo heavily utilizes AI to create their languages lessons so when you get sentences like ''my foot is very tall'' that's why I have been using duo for french and there are so many issues especially with accent it drives me up the wall i also take classes on italki with a real person so i find the duo french audio to be very different than the teachers i work with also a lack of natural french
Comment from : GorgieClarissa

Very helpful review Strongly considering a babbel subscription and just trying to figure out which one to go with
Comment from : JenniLaine

switched to babbel after using duolingo for 2 years its so much more in depth and uses phrases that are important to know
Comment from : A1 Video

To me, the both apps are quite bad But Duolingo is free :) If someone wants to make the right language app he or she has to choose a different way
Comment from : putin is a KILLER

is it free?
Comment from : kalkidan gobezie

Duo sux No one finishes any of their courses It's not intended to teach language It's an advertising platform Period Duo does more harm than good Duo is ridden with errors that they will never correct
Comment from : Brad Hedge

I have been thinking about becoming more fluent in Spanish bc I'm a nurse who has Spanish speaking clients and I'd also like to go on another mission trip and be able to speak to people first hand with less dependance on an interpreter

What about Busuu?
Comment from : MeenoTeK IT Tutorials

babbel sounds great BUT 15 per month PER LANGUAGE nah hard pass i will stick with duolingo brit comes down to the cost for me brbrreason i am learning language to get a job because i need an income brbrwhich means i dont have the finances available to put into 15 bucks PER language per month pffffff
Comment from : GENDERISAFACT

Great review totally right on Duolingo there is zero grammar instruction but it is free and lessons are quick andgood for vocab and yept is kinda addictive and the ads are super annoying also the quizzes ask you questions on stuff they didn't teach you frustrating AF
Comment from : Joe Reblando

Every languige duolingo has it Giving it ⭐️5
Comment from : Tian Z

Duolingo can atractt me
Comment from : Tian Z

Very helpful Thanks:)
Comment from : J T

I really want to learn Spanish for work and to understand when traveling, thank you for these comprehensive reviews
Comment from : Andre Knyaz

I'm really enjoying using Super Duolingo to learn Portuguese It does get repetitive, but it definitely has hooked me up I found your comment on grammar in Babbel interesting It's probably worth giving it a try once my learning habits are a bit more settled Combining both sounds like a great idea though 👍🏾
Comment from : Aryaváchin Dharmachari

Hey John,I have watched some of your videos and I am using Super Duolingo to learn German and Spanish My wife's co-worker is using Babbel to learn French and he likes it and suggested I give it a try I research things before I buy so here I am Thank You for the video it was super helpful
Comment from : ispguy2001

Thanks for the comparison I have been using Duolingo for a while and you hit all the right spots I will probably register with Babbel now but keep Duolingo as a fun one on the side I have been learning Italian for a while and the traveled to Italy Many phrases learned was not of great use I never had to tell anyone that sharks eat fish!
Comment from : Denis Langlais

Fast answer: Both suck!
Comment from : Jefferson Araujo el políglota

Thanks for this ! It confirms what i thought, but it's great to have your opinion I'm learning Spanish, but I teach English to French apprentices, so I need to decide which App would suit each person BTW : what do you think of Mondly ? I did the complete Spanish course prior to Babbel I found it it good vocab grounding for me, as a complete Spanish novice ( I did French and German at school )
Comment from : Helen Selliez

Thank you for the tips I would also be interested to learn about if one offers languages the other doesn’t
Comment from : Bender716

I picked babbel but some family members who use duolingo were saying not to copy the accent for some reason but for me i try my best to mimic the words as best i can
Comment from : Daniel Loos Jr

I’ve used Duolingo for nearly a year now and, while I find the ads tiresome, I love that I can do a lesson in three or four minutes every day I don’t think I could have kept my streak going this long if every lesson lasted 15 minutes I may also try Babbel, however, because I don’t feel I get good grammar instruction with Duolingo I wind up googling for grammar basics
Comment from : jandipeach

Duolingo is better
Comment from : Funkrez

I hadn't heard of Babbel before, but this really gives me something to think about
Comment from : Cade Peterson

I want to learn Greek so I can visit my Greek relatives in Greece and speak with them in their language 😊
Comment from : Kikki Franzen

I’ve been using Duolingo for 4 years and I still can’t really speak in a conversation well I need to up my game Somehow…
Comment from : fensterlips

Worth mentioning, if you are neurodivergent Duolingo really nails it's dopamine triggers I have ADHD and focusing is very hard for me in most aspects of my life I don't have that issue with Duolingo
Comment from : Dungeons & Doodads

I think both of these could be a great option!
Comment from : morgan bredeson

I'm trying to learn French and so far so good
Comment from : Antoine Russell

Super helpful video Thank you!
Comment from : Deborah

I want to learn Portugiese for a school exchange
Comment from : Marvin Schäfer

thanks for this comprehensive comparison I think there's an extra dimension you might consider which is the age of the learner As a person in my 70's a gaming environment is likely to grate on me no matter how effective the app is at teaching whilst a more structured approach is likely to be a better fit to the way I like to engage
Comment from : Mike Kaaks

Babel is certainly better than Duo Lingo, the difference is that it is far less addictive brAnd that is a HUGE difference brAll the people going for Babel are much more likely to drop
Comment from : Thomas Constant

I think you failed to mention the extra apps that Duolingo has, like separate podcasts, and written articles in the app I have the super version so I am not sure if everyone sees them, but they seem to promote them a lot I wasted money on Babbel because at the time it wasn't available on my phone, so I had huge issues typing diacritical marks and things in Swedish I can just add a Swedish keyboard to my phone and it does a good job figuring it out That's why I switched about 3 years ago Speed of the lessons and being on my phone keep me engaged and I have over a 2-year lesson streak (with helps from gems to keep my streak freezes going), I couldn't bring myself to do Babbel lessons at all
Comment from : ginkgobilobatree

Think you forgot to mention Duolingo has a larger variety of languagesbrbr Eg Swahili, Chinese, etc
Comment from : Issiah Cantrell

It would be nice if babbel offered welsh Or Rosetta stone or pimsleur None of the others seem to offer it
Comment from : Elizabeth

I wanna learn American English and I think Babbel could help me to accomplish my dream ☺️brI'm a French native speaker and I'm capable to talk a lot in English, but I need to improve this with conversation exercises and with oral talking with someone who's a native American English speaker 😉
Comment from : Mathéo Brissez

Clear and helpful comparison between Babbel and Duolingo
Comment from : TRHS1976

Thanks for video
Comment from : Dolomite

being a baptist, I won't try babbel because of the biblical negatives it has
Comment from : DJTron

My spouse is using free Duolingo I’m looking for something more rigorous in grammar I’m learning Spanish to communicate better with those I’ll be serving in my volunteer work
Comment from : Duane Morningred

Great video thank you!
Comment from : Michael George

Duolingo does have more languages to choose from I wish Babbel would pick up Chinese
Comment from : D-RockSteady

Terve, I been using duolingo and have been learning Norwegian, Finnish (as my get hearts practice) and just moved to Portuguese Tchau
Comment from : shirl

I recently decided to add babble after a year and a half on Duolingo Unfortunately, I am hard of hearing and I couldn’t get babble loud enough to hear I have Bluetooth hearing aids so the sound goes straight into my ears but even with that, I still couldn’t use it The folks at Babble were very considerate about refunding my money
Comment from : Elaine goss

Thank you for the comparison I will switch to babbel to learn Swedish :)
Comment from : Kurt Peeters

I want to learn Spanish to connect with my extended family
Comment from : Sandy A

You can refill your hearts by practicing on duolingo
Comment from : Snoop puppy

The language I want to learn most is Hindi because I can see India and China surpassing USA and Russia in the future as we shift from nuclear war to cyber war, and I am more in tune with India's ideals (though both are rich in culture and history)
Comment from : JNeal134

I’m learning Arabic because I’m fascinated by the Middle East culture after visiting Dubai this month I would like to be able to immerse in the culture and be able to converse twitch the locals the next time I visit!
Comment from : Phiwat Klomkaew

I have had them both; for me, Babbel is better for retention… :)
Comment from : grizzly deener

I've been using Duolingo (off and on) since January 2020 If you just do it on the computer you don't have to worry about the ads and your mistakes HOWEVER, Duolingo used to be better They had a dictionary, community thread, a place where you could see meet-ups, pay for classes with native speakers, etc They recently chopped all of that for more graphics I will check out Babbel in the future I really DO want to learn more grammar, and have scratched my head at why that couldn't be incorporated into their lessons
Comment from : Anna Maliszewski

I plan on visiting Paris later this yearbrWant to learn a bit of French
Comment from : KingTray

I have a flash sale opportunity for babbel so thanks for the updated review But the downside is that they don't offer Japanese so I'm not interested
Comment from : Suzumiya, Prismaura

This is very insightful!
Comment from : SomeRandomIdot

My son sent me a link to Duolingo at the same time as I was receiving ads on social for Babbel I travel a lot and my hardest decision to this point had been which language to learn I was very pleased to find this video and the summary suggesting how to use them in tandem was super helpful as I was kind of thinking the same, but wondering if it would take away from one or the other Your suggestion that they complemented each other, or worked well for time management, really made sense! Thank you!
Comment from : Helen Edley

😊
Comment from : Christine Shannon

Excelente información, me sirvió mucho para tomar una una decisión
Comment from : Sergio Riso

Great comparison! I use both apps for French, they complement each other well
Comment from : Nicole Meister

I’m currently using Duolingo for Arabic with a goal of being a translator The ads are crazy I also supplement with Arabic language lessons on youtube and watching Arabic movies on Netflix
Comment from : Time For a Change

thank you for this review!! I usually use Duolingo for language learning but will check out Babbel now! I want to learn French as its a second language where I live and started learning it in high school
Comment from : Sana A

Appreciate the update 👍🏼
Comment from : Johan Richards

Little life hack the duolingo website doesn't have the life system so even in the free plan you can keep learning after you mess up a lot
Comment from : Coleman Callaway

I've been using duolingo since July I don't use the computer version, but on the app version, you can practice to earn hearts if you make so many mistakes that you run out So technically, you bcan/b keep practicing once you run out of hearts You just have to practice in the heart section
Comment from : Susan B Sketchy

French because I have friends that know French and I want to talk with the and I think that French is cool
Comment from : Ben Lehr Yaish

Hi! I would like to offer a correction to your video title, in the spirit of being helpful If you're comparing two apps, the question is which is better, not which is best Thanks
Comment from : alwaysuseless

I want to learn Italian so I can pass the language test CILS or CELI to obtain Italian citizenship
Comment from : hulabug

I've been using Duolingo for a couple of years now but generally just haphazardly Its been good to use due to the gamification that keeps me consistent with using the app I've ramped up recently so want to look at other apps to use to complement my learning So many to choose from and is very confusing to make a decision
