Which is better, online or traditional class learning? If you can manage your own persistence and motivation, online is pretty exciting. It can be faster, and it can be free like Duolingo.
Duolingo funded research to discover the effectiveness of its program. The research was done independently by a couple of professors, one of them the Chair of the Statistics Department.
"The result . . . it only takes a Duolingo user 34 hours to learn the equivalent of a first college semester’s worth of Spanish . . A similar study by the same researchers who conducted Duolingo’s study, by the way, found that it took Rosetta Stone users between 55 and 60 hours to learn the same amount of material."
