Since its launch in November 2011, over 500 million users have registered, with more than 72 million active each day\u2014impressive figures, no doubt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-nv-c-2-background-color has-background\" id=\"Origins-and-History\"><strong>Origins and History<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">Founded in Pittsburgh, USA in 2011 by computer scientists Severin Hacker and Luis von Ahn, Duolingo went public about six months later in summer 2012. The founders\u2019 mission was to offer free language learning to everyone. Today, Duolingo has offices worldwide, including in Berlin, Beijing, and New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">Duolingo\u2019s popularity undoubtedly has its roots in their free usability, especially since most competitors charge for access. Add in Duolingo\u2019s unique advertising strategies and social media presence, and the green owl \u201cDuo\u201d has become an iconic mascot recognized far beyond the language-learning realm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-nv-c-2-background-color has-background\" id=\"What-Duolingo-Offers\"><strong>What Duolingo Offers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">Originally, Duolingo focused on central-european language courses like Spanish, French, German and Italian. Now, over a decade later, you can learn over 40 languages, including lesser-taught options such as Scottish Gaelic, Zulu, or Hawaiian. Rising in popularity languages like Japanese, Russian, and Arabic are also on board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">In recent years, Duolingo has expanded beyond language programs by adding mathematics and music courses, turning it into a broader educational platform. It also frequently rolls out new features to its language courses, including <a href=\"https:\/\/talkreal.org\/en\/blog\/language-learning-apps-using-ai\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"40978\">AI integration<\/a> that keeps lessons fresh and more interactive, daily, weekly and monthly challenges as well as the opportunity to compete with your friends.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-nv-c-2-background-color has-background\" id=\"Conclusion-Just-Give-It-a-Try\">Conclusion \u2013 <strong>Just Give It a Try<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">If you feel like giving Duolingo a spin, you can do so right here.
