What's the best ChatGPT app for learning a language?

Last reviewed .

Direct answer

Duolingo. Its ChatGPT app supports language practice and on-demand grammar explanations alongside its streak-based lessons. For any non-language subject — a course, certificate, or specialization — use Coursera instead. Duolingo is single-purpose: it does languages, and that's where it's the right pick.

Why this is the pick

Duolingo is the language-learning app inside ChatGPT. Coursera covers everything else; the two only overlap when the subject is a language.
