Day #6 - An example of gamifying learning English

Good news for people who want to learn English using materials from the internet.
We all know that there are load of this kind of materials, but knowing it is not enough, even having access for this materials is not good enough.
Learning alone is very difficult and you have to be highly motivated to do it constantly.
But... but learning with the internet don't have to be alone, you can meet, contact with other learners this way and you can use gamification to motivate yourself.
The solution  for the problems mentioned earlier can be very interesting service - Duolingo.



It is a place where you can find courses of many languages and one of them is English.
You learn by using interactive and multimedia materials but you also have fun because of the elements from games used in the service. This use of games elements (like gaining points, badges, losing lives ect)  is called gamification and it is a new and interesting trend in education. If you want to find out what it is and how it works - do use Duolingo to learn English or other language. It can be very interesting experience.
