Excited to see Duolingo Math launch today. I told the math team “you should totally call this OWL-gebra” and they were like “we heard you the first 30 times” and then I was like “sorry I’m on a TANGENT” and then I got my slack taken away again.
Math is stressful. So we made it fun.
Introducing Duolingo Math.

I am super proud of the launch of our early literacy app, Duolingo ABC, in the Google Play store today!
Duolingo ABC, our children’s literacy app, just got a major glow-up! ✨
The app teaches kids (ages 3-8) how to read in English with bite-sized lessons and stories featuring Duo and his friends. 📚

And last but not least: Duolingo ABC is now available on Android for the first time, in addition to iOS! 📲
Check it out: duolingo.com/abc
