The benefits of multilingualism are numerous. Not only does it improve inter-cultural relationships, but multilingualism also has positive effects on the cognitive development of young children. Children who learn another language tend to do better in math, and also often have a talent for music. Learning other languages is fun and Duolingo is a fantastic free tool to help achieve that.
Language lessons begin with basics: naming people (i.e. the woman, the boy etc.). For every incorrect answer, a heart is lost and once all hearts are lost, the lesson quits, all progress is lost and that level needs to be repeated. Early lessons can be skipped by more advanced learners, but skipping is only allowed to those who demonstrate adequate knowledge of the language.
Lessons include translating from the language into English, and back again. There are written as well as spoken lessons. Languages to learn include German, French, Portuguese, Italian, Spanish. Duolingo is also available online and users can sign in with Google+ accounts, Facebook accounts, or simply using an email. Celebrate diversity today and download Duolingo!
