Duolingo!

Linda

Duolingo was created by Luis von Ahn, PhD, and Severin Hacker, PhD,  its headquarters are in Pittsburgh, PA, USA.

The company keeps on adding supported languages and winning prizes.

Is it possible to learn a new language while offering translations in the same language combination? Maybe, watch the video to see how Duolingo works.

I work in software development. I keep on writing from time to time People's Code to continue following some of my oldest passions: linguistics and language technologies. I'm Italian and I live in Luxembourg. Ah... the blog's name comes from my favorite definition of natural language: it is a shared code. It is not nice nor ugly, not simple nor difficult - we understand each other only because we share the same code and we (often) agree on it.

  1. The app was the best iPhone App of 2013, the Best for Android in 2013 and 2014, and by TechCrunch Duolingo was the Best Education Startup 2013.
    At the moment 50 people are working in the company.
