Duolingo is a language-learning app that teaches more than 40 languages, from widely spoken ones such as Spanish, French, German, and Chinese to less commonly taught languages such as Swahili and Welsh. It is designed for casual learners who want to build vocabulary and grammar through short daily lessons rather than a full classroom course.
Lessons mix speaking, reading, listening, and writing practice in short exercises meant to fit into a few spare minutes a day. The app leans on a gamified structure, using experience points, streaks, and leaderboards to encourage learners to keep coming back and practice consistently over time, with content designed by learning specialists behind each course.
Every language course on Duolingo is free to use. A paid subscription called Super Duolingo removes ads and adds extra features intended to support more consistent practice.
