It seemed mind-blowing to me that the makers of this seemingly smile app had managed to create an academic exam that could accurately predict a student’s ability to perform at university. A test that is now accepted at over 1,500 institutes world-wide as an alternative to IELTS and TOEFL. That is why I was surprised a couple of months ago to find out about the Duolingo English Test. In short, Duolingo seemed to be a simple app designed to help people learn the basics of a language. It was all very intuitive and there were cute pictures and sounds to keep me motivated, and I was rewarded for studying every day. I was asked to match words with pictures, repeat simple phrases, and make short translations. It is one of oldest and most-well know language learning apps, and is well-known for being easy to use, especially for beginners. I remember using the app to get to grips with Italian before going on holiday to Tuscany, and I found it was a great way to learn the basics in a fun way.
If you have ever thought about studying a second language and searched online for an app to help you, then there is a high chance the you have come across Duolingo.
What is the Duolingo English Test and is it a good option for you as a test-taker? That’s what Nick and I will be discussing in today’s lesson!
