Duolingo has been the app suggested by many language learners. Today, we’d like to introduce a new feature of the app-Duolingo bots. Let’s see what it is.

Duolingo Bots: practice daily conversation easily

Nowadays, there are more people choose to learn languages through applications. And it is said that Duolingo is one of the best learning language apps to try. Duolingo helps learning the language through lessons and games. Duolingo focuses on three skills: reading, listening, speaking. Recently, the app has been added a new feature called Duolingo Bots- a text-based feature. This feature is quite interesting. Let’s read on to see what it is.

Bots offer many types daily conversations and scenarios that you usually take part in. These scenarios can be ordering food at restaurant, check in at hotel or meeting with a doctor, etc. The app comes with virtual language tutors. Each tutor do different careers. And they are the ones that you will practice with. So ones might wondered how can these virtually tutors can reply automatically. It is because there are an artificial intelligence program running in Duolingo Bots. This program is encoded with thousands of possible responses. Then, how about what to do if you get stuck. Just click “help me reply”. The app will give you some possible answers.

At present, Duolingo Bots are exclusively available in Apple Store. And according to Duolingo web page, bots are only in Duolingo’s French, German and Spanish now. Other languages will be available soon.

Duolingo Bots: round-up

It is true that language is about communicating. Many learners admitted that they have problem with daily conversation. Even though they are good at vocabulary, they found it awkward or hard to express the idea clearly, fast and naturally. Duolingo Bots somehow can help you get used to and practice daily conversation. However, the shortcoming of bots is users practice spoken language through texting, not speaking. So in the near future, we hope that Duolingo could add another feature that can improve learners with conversational speaking skill. So, have you ever tried this new feature of Duolingo. Let’s share with us your experience.
