As described in the video above the app is free and the people behind it get money by students translating documents while they're learning. Not only is there reading and writing training, but there are listening based challenges as well which can be a little unclear to hear but useful in learning. It's a shame one can't switch listening based questions off as it not only excludes Deaf and hard of hearing users but also those who simply wish to learn how to read and write the language. When progress is dependent on listening it makes the app hard to use discreetly while travelling without earphones. Yet that's my only real complaint. The app is wonderful, and while the languages offered are currently europe-centric, by offering various free languages to learn for free in a single app without any adds and with a fun gaming element, it is defiantly a must-install for anyone interested in learning languages.

Duolingo is a fun and creative app that is rather genius in it's way of teaching.
