Duolingo is the most downloaded education app in the history of the App Store.
Our mission is to develop the best education in the world and make it universally available.
Learning a new language is hard, but staying motivated is often the hardest part. That’s why we use fun, bite-sized, game-like lessons designed to keep you engaged and to drive real learning outcomes. Our approach is grounded in efficacy: we continuously test and improve our methods to ensure learners make meaningful progress.
We also believe in democratizing education by offering an effective, high-quality free product. Developing a great free product is essential to our mission, ensuring that anyone with a smartphone can access learning that works.
When it comes to utilizing AI tools, we have a golden rule: we use it when it clearly improves outcomes for learners. We don’t use it as a shortcut or a replacement for people, but as a tool to enhance learning experiences and efficacy.
Duolingo has been named to: Fast Company’s Most Innovative Education Company (2026, 2022), Apple Design Award (2023), TIME100 Most Influential Companies (2023), Fast Company Best Workplaces for Innovators (2022), among others.
The two of us had just moved to the United States from Prague. We were eager to share with others what we knew about the Czech Republic and we were happy to keep a connection to the country we left behind. In 1999, we "brought" Local Lingo with us to California. Some three years later, it became clear that a major reorganization was needed. The amount of content that had accummulated on Local Lingo since its launch had to be reorganized and made more easily accessible to our visitors. We decided to start a whole new site to which all but language-related content would be moved, which would enable Local Lingo to focus exclusively on the Czech language. My Czech Republic branched out from Local Lingo in January 2003 to bring you first-hand information about various aspects of Czech life, assist you with your Czech Republic travel needs, and continue to expand the existing community of our members and contributors. Some of the things you will find here are a large Prague guide; practical travel information and tips; amusing columns on Czech life and affairs written by Darren Baker and Kamal Sunavala; a Czech mini phrasebook with audio; a large section on Czech holidays and traditions; a list of Czech name days; a photo gallery; a growing list of Czech Republic travel services; and a thriving community that you are welcome to join if you haven't done so already. We appreciate your visit and hope that you will enjoy your stay and will keep coming back! And, by the way, the circle has closed and we have returned to Prague...
