Adults learn more through conscious studying. Kids learn through full immersion in the language and constant social interactions.
Wagner is not surprised by this efficacy because, at its best, Duolingo is combining aspects of how both children and adults learn languages. “That's half as long as it actually takes to complete four semesters.” What Duolingo Does Well “It took learners in our Spanish and French courses an average of 112 hours to have reading and listening skills comparable to four U.S. How effective Duolingo is depends in part on how much time a user spends with it. “Later research also shows effective learning for intermediate users and for speaking skills, and our latest work has tested the effectiveness of our English course for Spanish speakers, with similar findings.” “Our research (opens in new tab) shows that Spanish and French learners who complete the beginning-level material in our courses – which covers levels A1 and A2 of the international proficiency standard, CEFR – have reading and listening skills comparable to students at the end of 4 semesters of university language courses,” Blanco says, via email.
