Language learning app Duolingo for Android now offers two additional languages: Hindi and Indonesian.

Learning a new language used to be challenging, but thanks to apps like Duolingo, learning is made easier and fun. Add to that the ability to learn on the go, we are able to also learn faster. Duolingo is my favorite language learning app and my daughters also use it. As their dad, I can tell they are improving based on their school grades. Duolingo also lets me track their progress online and via daily emails notifications.

Duolingo was updated today with two additional languages and they are Hindi and Indonesian. That's two more languages you can start learning right away. That is all in this update. Check it out in Google Play Store

Duolingo also offers the following languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Irish, Danish, Swedish, Russian, Ukrainian, Esperanto and Turkish. And there's probably more. Happy learning!

Udacity for Android now supports offline videos subtitle.

Learning new technologies nowadays is made easy thanks to sites like Udacity and I, for one, Know how beneficial such online learning sites help in my every workday and with internet connectivity continuously improving, that makes learning on the go a definite advantage. I remember the days when I was lugging around thick and heavy Microsoft official curriculum books. Fortunately, all these books now fit on my devices. Udacity, among others, brings learning to another level and today, Udacity published an update to improve the learning experience.

A few month ago, Udacity updated their Android app to allow downloading videos within their app for offline learning.  Today, the builtin video player now supports subtitles while in offline mode. This new feature can be disabled in the Settings page should users not want subtitles in offline mode. This update also includes the usual bug fixes and some small UI tweaks. The change log does not provide details about the latter.

Udacity is a great app for those who want and need to continue learning. Check it out in the Google Play Store.
