Habla vs Duolingo
Actually speak Spanish, not just tap tiles.
Duolingo built a beautiful gamified loop for vocabulary and grammar — and it works for streaks. But after two years of owls and gems, most learners still can't hold a five-minute conversation. Habla is built around the only thing that actually makes you fluent: speaking.
