More than likely, you’ve heard of Duolingo, but in case you haven’t, it’s a language-learning app. You don’t always have to do little math and spelling tests to keep your brain sharp. Simply spending a few minutes a day learning a new language can do it too. Unsurprisingly, Duolingo has a 4.7/5 rating from 2.5 million users. It comes with of different languages to learn, so whether you’re interested in ordering your next meal in Spanish or saying hello in Japanese, you’re covered. The app also has new courses for learning math and music, which is great for grade school children who need a bit of extra help with their classes.
The app itself is free to download, and you can take as many courses as you want in a day. However, with the free version, there is a catch. If you miss five questions, you’ll run out of chances and have to wait until they are replenished. With the subscription, though, you’ll have unlimited tries, so you can spend all day learning your preferred language. The subscription costs $83.99 per year or $9.99 per month.
