With more than half a billion downloads on the Google Play Store alone, Duolingo is one of the most popular ways to learn a new language. On iOS, the app has over 4 million reviews and a 4.8 out of 5 star rating. Clearly, the company's marketing is working, but how much value does the app actually provide for beginner, intermediate, and expert learners? I've been using Duolingo for over 3.5 years now (my current streak stands at a 1,334 days) in what feels like an endless quest to master Japanese.

First impressionsAt first glance, the Swift 14 AI is exactly what you'd expect from a new ultraportable. It's slim, light, and silver all over, weighing in at 3.0 pounds and measuring 12.3 x 8.8 x 0.74 inches. There's nothing remarkable about the chassis on first examination, though I was happy to see that it comes packed in an eco-friendly box. But while the exterior is unremarkable, the interior is genuinely disappointing.
