Write the words that will help shape the future of education. Bonus: you get to work with Mary, queen of the word nerds.

Let's talk. Not the apply-for-a-job type? DM me. Especially if you're a design manager, product designer, systems designer, producer, character animator, motion designer, illustrator, or brand designer...I'd be very interested in chatting.

A good way to measure time is before and after the exact moment when @koop teaches you how color works. https://t.co/A3xHhIOG4B

One of the contrarian views we hold at @duolingo is that allowing people to learn entirely for free is not only good for the world but good for our business. Our app is the top grossing app among all education apps worldwide, even though the others charge for learning.

New @duolingo logo! Feels lovely to have a wordmark that better matches the brand (and our mascot, Duo). https://t.co/WlFHKamuY1

Let's be real. If your playlist has good artwork *and* a portmanteau title, I'm definitely pressing play a hundo p.
