The Top 5 Android Apps of 2013<\/h1>\n

Duolingo<\/h2>\n

Duolingo works to add interactivity and customized lesson planning to the language learning experience by rewarding users when they achieve goals, giving incentive to return for more lessons — something your high school’s Intermediate Spanish course never did.<\/p>\n

\"duolingo\"<\/a>
\nDuolingo gives users the opportunity to learn English, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Portuguese. You don’t have to worry about being charged for the service any time soon, either. Co-creator Luis von Ahn told USA Today, “We’re fundamentalists on the belief that we should not charge for language education.”<\/p>\n

Audio playback is customizable, allowing you to adjust playback speed to whatever you’re comfortable with. The “featured” and “popular” menus also help with podcast discovery.<\/p>\n
