Amazing!

I only like free games and this one is so cool! It actually makes reading fun! I love Duolingo ABC! My autistic little brother (he’s 7 now) is playing it right now and he loves it too! He loves learning the sight word ‘me’ and he loves the giganto-pop story and the pancake game. Thank you Duolingo for creating this amazing free game!




p.s. please make a language button for the app to change the language like Spanish or British English. Children can also use your Duolingo app to learn different languages. Also make an alphabet song to help children learn the alphabet in Duolingo ABC. This will help them learn the alphabet. You can also use funny animations for the Duolingo characters like the characters dance with the little ones while the alphabet song plays instrumental.

Also, make a theme song for the app and post it on your Duolingo abc channel. You can add some of the lyrics with the letter teams and the other letters of the alphabet and then, you can add the things that they start with like for example, “🎶 l for lion, m for monkey🎶”



Thank you Duolingo for making this educational app and I mean it!
