What is your favorite way to learn with Duolingo? Are you the kind of learner who is always seeking out Stories? The XP-obsessed leaderboard climber? Are you steadily moving down your course, unlocking chest after chest?
There are lots of different ways to practice your new language in your Duolingo course. Try these 7 lesson types to add some variety to your study plan!
| 1. Do a new lesson Keep moving forward by doing a new lesson! You'll find a few kinds of new lessons: ones with brand new vocabulary and grammar, ones focusing on speaking practice, personalized practice tailored just for you, quirky Stories, mini DuoRadio podcasts, and more! |
|
| 2. Review a previous lesson Decide what content you'd like to revisit with lesson review! When you click on a node you've already completed, do a quick review lesson to see the same vocabulary and grammar and strengthen your memory. |
|
| 3. Show off your skills with Legendary Levels You can also test yourself with Legendary Levels! When you've completed a node, select the Legendary option to do a lesson with more challenging exercises and no hints. Your XP reward will be worth it, and the node will turn gold afterwards! |
|
| 4. Tailor your practice on-demand Super subscribers can use their Practice Hub (the dumbbell at the bottom of the screen) to choose special practice lessons, including mistakes practice, vocabulary matching, all your Stories in one place, and lessons with all-speaking exercises. |
|
| 5. Challenge yourself with a Side Quest When you're feeling the need for speed, try a Side Quest! You'll see three stars below each character along the path, and each of those is a timed lesson that you'll have to race through to complete. Can you make it in time? |

| 6. Prove yourself with Match Madness On your Leaderboards screen (look for the Duo trophy icon), you'll sometimes find Match Madness—another timed challenge where you'll match words from your own language with words in the new language as fast as you can! |
|
| 7. Get talking with Video Call Let Lily be your language guide! Get comfortable speaking and listening to your new language with your favorite emo teenage chatbot. This AI-powered conversation practice is available to Max subscribers. |
