    Duolingo helps you learn the language in a fun, playful way, with a focus on forming practical expressions and full sentences rather than just grammar and vocabulary.

    Duolingo helps working on real sentences, not just words. Memrise can only help you pass exams which need vocabulary skills. While Duolingo is helpful when you want to really speak in another language practically.
