  What is so special about this application compared to other ones with the same purpose?

    It's free, and also by learning with Duolingo you're helping translate the web. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duolingo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duolingo

      Thanks for the real answer to real question. After trying it for 5 minutes I got so hooked up that now I spend almost an hour daily practicing and improving my German skills. The site and application are really important missing step between a language beginner which doesn't know the language enough to be able to improve it organically by random reading and conversation, and an intermediate speaker that can go forward on its own. I would really recommend this tool, especially in combination with real language course. The app is great, but the site is still better, since the some things are missing from the app. I hope the app will catch up to the site usefulness, since it is so much easier to use when commuting.
