I assume that this approach has been chosen because the children using this may be too young to be fluent in English.Īnother difference is that Duolingo Kids seems to have taken a philosophy of "Don't be evil. Using images, rather than translations, is something that's been advocated by Fluent Forever. Rather than being given a Spanish sentence and being asked to translate it into English, or vice versa, it uses icons of nouns, adjectives or verbs - for example, an icon of someone with lots of muscles successfully lifting weights for strong, and someone with no muscle unsuccessfully lifting weights for weak, and an animated icon of someone drinking a glass of liquid for "to drink". One of the biggest differences between Duolingo Kids and the ordinary app is the lack of translation. I've been using Duolingo Kids for a week or three, and have completed the entire course for at least the easiest level, and have been using conventional Duolingo for years on and off.
