I was considering buying a premium subscription after Duolingo lapsed, but no more. The ads to buy premium are egregiously in your face, popping up at least 10 times per lesson, completely covering the screen. The other ads are the worst kind, too, find the x or the >> three times in a row for the scammy apps you've seen a million times before. And on top of that, the lesson often fails to load after you finish the ad, and you have to do it all over again. All huge red flags. No thx

Busuu will introduce 5 new words & a new type of conjugation all at once, explain nothing, quiz you on it *once*, & then move on without giving you time to absorb anything. And reviewing lessons doesn't even count towards your streak! Phrase translations are often missing, no option to pause and resume lessons (which are sometimes 10m long), and the ads for premium are INCESSANT. Clean UI, some great features, and the progress tracking is clear and satisfying, but I'll be looking elsewhere.

Learning Korean Great app I find myself really enjoying the lessons. The lessons aren't overwhelming. 12 days in and I can understand most words. They aren't punishing free customers for not paying for a subscription. What I would change 1. Going back within a lesson; accidentally hit continue and had to restart the lesson (this might be a paid subscription feature) 2. Adding all words to the dictionary (again might be a paid subscription feature) Overall great app Highly recommend
