Full Overview
Duolingo teaches languages in bite-size, game-like lessons with streaks, leagues, and instant feedback that keep kids and teens coming back. Its adaptive engine picks what to review next, and the newer Duolingo Max tier adds AI features: Roleplay lets learners hold a guided conversation with a character, and "Explain My Answer" breaks down why a response was wrong. It also runs Duolingo ABC, a separate free literacy app for young children.
