Editors' Choice

With its friendly approach and awesome updates, Duolingo's long been one of our favorite apps for learning another language. Its secret: making the process genuinely fun. Engaging mini-games test your reading, writing, and speaking skills, and joining a club (where you can encourage and compete with others) adds a great social element. Bonus: all those languages and games are available for free!

Fun to practice everyday

This app is truly fun and is a great supplement to a French language immersion class I am taking. I do have a hint and some suggestions. Hint to those newly downloading: take advantage of the 1-MONTH trial because if you don't, you'll only see the 2-week trial for Plus after that initial period. Don't delay!
I truly enjoy the variety, not only lessons but the stories and the listening and there's even a Podcast! Truly satisfying app - the stories crack me up, and I love hearing pronunciations from other native speakers, not just Estelle and Paul.
Suggestions to enhance learning/app, while it's great that there are flags and learns and those come back up in practice sessions, I wish there was a bookmark feature for specific tips or one that would allow you to flag even specific test. I take screenshots but would rather it be available all in one place in the app. And the other big suggestion is, there are times when I select the word, and it doesn't say it. It does happen in one kind where you place 2 words and place both within a sentence (i.e. aime-aimer) but it doesn't happen when you have three separate words to select and check - this is where I would like to hear the word. Maybe these features are unlocked in Plus, but if it doesn't underline a word after It's accepted and I press continue, why can't I listen to the sentence again after the continue prompt is available?

Great app- bad update

As usual, "upgrades" to computer products destroy functionality and make things progressively worse for the user. Latest update now has all lessons in sequence so that the learner has much less flexibility than before. Maybe its better if you are a school teacher trying to control what your students learn but I am nearly 60 and don't need a nanny. The problems I wish they would have fixed include tiny pictures that I can see on my iPhone and occasional screens that don't have enough room to see the text you are typing. They have fixed some of the regionalisms and no longer force me to use continental Spanish, for example. One continual annoyance with all academic language instruction is the insistence on "school grammar" instead of how people actually speak and write. Since I learned Spanish in an immersion program, I continually run into grammatical elements not actually used that I have to put in, like the "se" reflexive pronoun. Duolingo puts it in all the time, street Spanish leaves it out unless there is no other reference to the object.

Since I still can't type reliably on virtual keyboards, I rely heavily on voice recognition, which works poorly. Most of my mistakes are due to voice recognition errors and secondly word order. Decent voice recognition would be a real plus for me. In some cases, the voice recognition just pumps out complete absurdities that bear no resemblance to what I said, recently, "darmelo" became "Dave my load".

Spanish Vocabulary

The main colors in Spanish are:

You will notice that for some colors there are two different words for it. Which one you use depends on the country you are in.

Colores have different forms

Colors are adjectives that must agree with the gender and number of the noun.

It is importante to remember that the colors that end in -O or -A have a masculine and feminine form as well as a singular or plural form and must coincide with the noun (or subject).

For example there are 4 forms of the color Blanco.

Un sombrero blanco - (Blanco is in masculine and singular form, just like the word it describes)

Unos sombreros blancos - (Blancos is in masculine and plural form)

Una casa blanca - (Blanca is in feminine and singular form)

Unas casas blancas - (Blancas is in feminine and plural form)

With words that don't end in -O or -A (like verde and gris) don't have a change in the masculine or feminine form. You do however have to add the -S or -ES for its plural form.

A color can also be a noun in a sentence

El rojo enfurece a los toros.

Word order with colors

1. The verb SER + color (Ser - because the color won't change or it has always been that color)

2. The verb ESTAR + color (Estar - It is only temporarily this color, it may change color tomorrow)

Mi ojo está rojo (my eye normally isn't this color, maybe it is infected)

El cielo hoy está azul (today the sky is blue though it might be cloudy tomorrow)

3. The noun + color

Claro - Oscuro - Fuerte

When we talk about colors, we can also include different tones, shades and intensities by using the following expressions:

claro = light

oscuro = dark

fuerte = bright

Claro is the opposite of Oscuro

Fuerte is a bright intense color that is easy to see.

Verónica tiene ojos verdes oscuros.

Su pelo gris claro la hacía ver mayor.

Su corbata rosada fuerte no le queda bien.

You will notice that the words claro, oscuro and fuerte go after the color.

Spanish has a word specifically used for the color light blue ... celeste.

Typical things of each color

The following is a list of the things that are typically associated with each color:
(Below you will find a picture with more examples)

Rojo: frutillas, vino, sangre, rosas.

Anaranjado: zapallo, zanahoria, pelota de basketball, naranja.

Amarillo: queso, sol, mantequilla, limón.

Azul: cielo, océano, pitúfo

Verde: hoja, árbol, pasto, rana, moco

Negro: murciélago, noche, neumático.

Blanco: papel, azúcar, leche.

Rosado: cerdo, lengua, dulce de algodón.

Marrón: madera, cigarro, tierra.

Gris: rocas, plomo, plata.

Morado: uva, hematoma (moratón)
