Duolingo

We’re here to develop the best education in the world and make it universally available. Our global team works together to make language learning fun, free, and effective for anyone who wants to learn, wherever they are.

The ultimate goal of Duolingo is to eliminate language barriers and provide accessible learning opportunities for everyone, transcending educational and financial boundaries. Co-founder Ahn’s realization of the economic advantages of English proficiency and the founders’ recognition of the prohibitive costs of language instruction led him to create a platform that democratizes language education.

Duolingo’s commitment to creating engaging, effective, and enjoyable language learning tools is evident in its positive and supportive approach. The platform aims to empower a diverse community of language enthusiasts worldwide, fostering connections and promoting growth in an increasingly interconnected world.

Duolingo’s gamified learning experience, goal-setting options, and digital rewards provide a supportive environment that encourages users to persist in their language learning journey.

Duolingo’s mission extends beyond language education; it envisions a world where communication reduces conflict and contributes to peace.
