intuitive interface, reading text with built-in dictionary.

but it's practically a paid service. you can look at the meaning of just 20 words (Qs) in the free version. despite this it seems to pay off the investment of money.

It's not an alternative to Duolingo. LingQ is so complicated you have to first learn LingQ before you can even start learning any new language.

It starts off with a bunch of sentences in the foreign language you chose and you click on the new words and see the translation. Good. What's bad is that they limit the translations to 25 per day. And push you heavily into buying the thing you don't even understand. I gave it try. It's useless for me.
