Why should you choose Ling language learning app instead of Duolingo?

When it comes to learning a new language, Duolingo isn't the only app on the market. Many people have turned to Ling. The reason is probably simpler than you think!

Duolingo doesn't offer the language you need

Duolingo is a popular way to learn over 40 languages. That number may seem large, and it includes many of the most widely spoken languages ​​in the world.

However, there are thousands of languages ​​out there, and Duolingo doesn't even cover the top 40 most popular. For example, let's say you want to learn Telugu, one of India's main native languages ​​and one of the top 20 most popular languages ​​in terms of native speakers. Most Telugu speakers probably live in India, but Telugu is one of the fastest growing languages ​​in the United States.

That's how people discovered Ling as an alternative to Duolingo. Ling helps you learn Telugu. Like Duolingo, Ling also offers over 40 languages, but includes more Asian and Eastern European languages ​​than its competitor.

Ling has a much cheaper option

If you're willing to commit to Ling, it's significantly cheaper than Duolingo. That might not seem true on the surface. After all, Duolingo offers a free, ad-supported plan. Ling offers a free trial but requires you to pay for it. Ling's monthly price is also a few dollars more than Duolingo's, and it doesn't offer a family plan.

So how is it cheaper? Ling offers a lifetime subscription for $150. That's roughly a year's worth of monthly payments, or two years if you pay annually. That's a lot of money to commit to upfront, but it's a bargain if you like what you see in the app.

Ling is good enough to replace Duolingo

Is Ling better than Duolingo? No one can answer this question because everyone will have a different feeling about the app.

That said, so far Ling has been good. The app is easy to use. The whole experience feels very well-crafted. You get to hear from a variety of speakers. In a sea of ​​cheap language learning programs, the app deserves praise.

If Duolingo works for you, great! Stick with it. But if you don't see the language you're looking for or think Duolingo is as good as it used to be, consider Ling.
