Is Duolingo a Game?

[PlummiPig]

Any ideas? XD

It's not a game, I guess, because it's a language-learning application. But I guess it's more of a game than sitting in a French lesson :D

Duolingo is not a game, but it is gamified. That means that that it teaches languages using some games' elements to make it more interesting so people can stick around and learn.

Duolingo is a game that makes us want to practice our language more.

No...it is a long term body of work. But, if you like the work it can be fun and rewarding.

[Deyan161]

Yes and no. It uses game techniques to help teach.

It's entertaining, but not a game. A game would be if Duolingo had the ability to compete with other players, or something similar. The fact that it's not a game shouldn't take away from your enjoyment of the site, though. :D

Games have points and levels and flags and streaks and everything else.

In games you win, in games you lose.

[BelgianStr]

Ok, you win. This isn't a game.

[EpicPowerHero]

In Duolingo you just win.

It's not a game as such, but it sure IS fun! ( ᐛ )و
