Best language learning apps
Duolingo
The app doesn't restrict how many languages you can try to learn at the same time. I use Duolingo to practice Spanish and German. In the app, you can access resources such as Duolingo Stories, which can allow you to check your comprehension skills as you go. I also subscribe to Premium for $10 per month which includes an ad-free experience and downloadable lessons.
Memrise
One of my favorite parts of Memrise is its short videos about how real locals express different phrases in conversation. A few lessons are available for free daily, but the full program is accessible if you subscribe to Memrise Pro. There are three plans—one month for $9, a year for $30 or three months for $19.
Busuu
When you sign up for Busuu, you select the language you want to learn, and the app helps you determine how advanced you are with it and why you want to learn it, and to what level. From there, you set a daily study goal. Premium costs about $6 per month for a year.
Lirica
If you listen to any song enough, you'll learn all the words through repetition, even if they're in a different language. But how do you figure out what they mean? This is where Lirica comes in. This app is unique in how it approaches teaching Spanish. Instead of traditional teaching methods for learning a language, Lirica uses popular music by Latin artists to help you learn the Spanish language and grammar. Lirica has a one-week free trial and then it's about $4 per month.

细节理解题。由第二段最后一句“There are three plans—one month for $9, a year for $30 or three months for $19.”（有三个计划，一个月9美元，一年30美元，或者三个月19美元。）可知，订阅Memrise Pro三个月会员需要19美元，所以季度订阅Memrise Pro应支付19美元。故选B。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Instead of traditional teaching methods for learning a language, Lirica uses popular music by Latin artists to help you learn the Spanish language and grammar.”（Lirica用拉丁艺术家的流行音乐来帮助你学习西班牙语和语法，而不是传统的语言教学方法。）可知，相比于其他几款APP，Lirica的独特之处在于它可以利用音乐来学习语言。故选D。
