Duolingo Audio is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your language learning by focusing on listening skills. It hides text prompts in Duolingo, allowing you to concentrate solely on audio inputs and practice typing what you hear. The extension supports multiple audio options, including two pronunciations from Google Translate, one at a slower speed, making it easier to comprehend and master languages like French and Spanish. Ideal for users who have progressed through the Duolingo tree and want to reset their skills with an audio-first approach, it encourages repetition and listening practice to improve ear training. Although it may not perfectly support languages with complex accents like Russian, it offers a useful and engaging way to deepen listening comprehension.
