Benissimo! Free Language Learning App Duolingo Gains Italian Course And More
January 8, 2013
Duolingo has something benissimo just for you.
The app that, according to our original AppAdvice review, "makes learning a different language fun" has just received a major update. And one of the things this update brings is a new full course on learning the beautiful Italian language.
When it launched in the App Store in November last year, Duolingo offered courses on French, German, Portuguese, and Spanish. Now, Italian has just been added to Duolingo's digital curriculum.
