This is something I’ve wanted to see on the free version of the app ever since I tried to do it. use it to learn Italian before leaving for Rome.
Duolingo launched Explain my answer in 2023, but it was limited to Duolingo Max, which costs $30 per month or $168 per year. The feature explains grammatical rules, like grammatical gender, and provides other examples to help you understand why you got it wrong.

After you answer a question correctly or incorrectly in a language course, an Explain My Answer button will appear at the bottom of your screen. When you press this button, the feature will explain different parts of the question on one or more slides depending on the question.
I found this feature useful for learning certain language rules. The lessons don’t always make it clear what the different rules are for tenses, for example, and these explanations seem more useful than rote memorization. This feature allows me to understand why things are correct or incorrect, not just what a correct answer looks like.
Explain My Answer will be available for English speakers learning Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian and Korean. Duolingo is working to expand this feature to more languages and free plans on Android devices in the future.
