Checking out Duolingo Part 2 - S1 E27

Update: 2017-07-31

Description

Today I follow up on our previous podcast, and complete the review of Duolingo, including some information about what it CAN’T do for language learners. Last time, we talked about some great features of the Duolingo app, in terms of software design, e-learning features, and second language acquisition ideas. While I love the app, there are some things it can’t do, and I go into these by looking at a variety of lenses through which one can view language, from phonetics right through to historical linguistics and seeing what aspects of language Duolingo is teaching, and recognize what it is not teaching.
