I'm a National Public Radio addict, and I heard a program segment on Marketplace the other day about Duolingo, a phone app that helps you learn languages by faking you into thinking you're playing computer games. Well, I had to try it.

So far, it's lots of fun. I'm taking Spanish, and it has an accent that seems rather strange to me. Can anybody identify the Spanish accent used in Duolingo?

But besides that, is anybody using Duolingo, and do you have comments about it?
