Duolingo
15 minutes a day, learn any language.
1. Free
App or duolingo.com. Free with ads. Spanish, French, Italian, ASL, more.
2. Set a goal
5-minute goal works for beginners. Streaks reward consistency.
3. Speak out loud
Microphone exercises. Mute if you'd rather not — they're optional.
4. Stories
Read short stories with audio. Best way to learn beyond drills.
5. Skip ads
$10/month removes ads. Good if you use daily. Skip otherwise.
6. Family plan
$15/month for 6 people. Cheaper if grandkids learn too.
Studies show language learning helps maintain memory and brain health as we age.
