If you're trying to learn a new language

Duolingo

Possibly the most famous language app (and the most meme-able), Duolingo is a lot more than just an intimidating owl mascot. It's an incredible platform to help you learn, with set lessons in French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian and Japanese. The lessons are short and easy to work into a busy schedule, and the way that the interface works will make sure you remember what you've learned. It's available for Apple and Android devices, as well as on the web.
