Duolingo is the world's most popular way to learn a language.
About us
Our mission is to develop the best education in the world and make it universally available. Duolingo is the most downloaded education app in the history of the App Store and in 2019 became the top-grossing education app worldwide. We set out to do something altogether different in the learning space. Learning a new language is hard; we believe it should be fun. We use bite-sized lessons that feel like playing a game to keep our learners motivated. Learning a new language can also be expensive, and because we believe it should be free, we made it so. Duolingo has been named to: BuiltIn's Best Places to Work (2023), Fast Company Best Workplaces for Innovators (2022), Fast Company 10 Most Innovative Education Company (2022), among others.

Our CEO Luis recently shared some personal stories around growing up in Guatemala and the sacrifices his mother made so he could get a good education. ⚠️ Spoiler alert below! ⚠️ Luis saw how access to education actually created inequality, especially in poorer countries, like Guatemala. He saw that people with money could pay for a good education (and continue having a lot of money), while people who didn’t have a lot money could barely read or write. This experience shaped our mission: build the world’s best education and make it universally available. 💚 Today, our mission guides everything that we do – who we hire, how we treat each other, and how we make company decisions.
