Learning a new language is not only fun, it also stimulates the brain. Unfortunately, not all of us have the time to attend language classes! Good thing these apps make language learning easier, all without paying a single dime:
Duolingo
Duolingo is one of the best and most popular of all language apps. Using the app, you can learn how to speak Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Irish, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, and English. What’s so great about this app is that it never overwhelms. Language learning is done in short sessions, allowing you to find the meaning of a certain word easier. Also, this app offers a leveling up system to motivate users to complete every stage.
