This article discusses the use of Duolingo as a resource for learning Japanese. It covers what level of proficiency users can reach with Duolingo, the benefits and cons of learning the language with this platform, and tips for improving your Japanese with Duolingo. With around 50 hours of study on its course, most users should be able to reach beginner-level proficiency in understanding basic conversations about everyday topics as well as forming simple sentences in response using appropriate grammar structures and vocabulary words learned during the course of study on the platform. However, more advanced levels may require additional resources outside those offered by this service provider. Setting realistic goals, reviewing regularly, taking advantage of additional resources, practicing speaking out loud, and having fun while doing it will all help improve your proficiency quickly.
