Are Language Learning Apps Enough to Become Fluent?

I’m using Duolingo and Busuu for learning Italian, but I’m not sure if apps alone can make me fluent. Should I combine them with online tutoring sessions, or are apps sufficient over time?"

Apps like Duolingo and Busuu are great for vocabulary and practice, but they’re not enough for full fluency. Adding online tutoring or real conversations will help you speak naturally and progress faster.

Language learning apps are a helpful tool for building vocabulary, practicing grammar, and improving listening skills. However, they are not enough to reach true fluency. Real fluency requires immersion, speaking practice with native speakers, exposure to culture, and consistent real-life communication, beyond app-based learning.
