What it's used for

Duolingo AI enhances the world's most popular language learning app with GPT-4-powered features that make practice more conversational, personalized, and effective. AI features are available through the Duolingo Max subscription tier.

  • Roleplay — Practice real-world conversations with AI characters in scenarios like ordering at a cafe, checking into a hotel, or negotiating at a market
  • Explain My Answer — Get detailed grammar and usage explanations for why your answer was right or wrong
  • Adaptive difficulty — AI adjusts lesson difficulty in real time based on your performance patterns
  • Pronunciation feedback — AI evaluates your spoken responses and provides pronunciation guidance
  • Video Call — Have open-ended voice conversations with AI characters for immersive speaking practice

Intermediate learners use Roleplay to bridge the gap between structured exercises and real-world conversation. Beginners use Explain My Answer to understand grammar intuitively. Serious learners use Video Call for speaking practice without a human tutor.

Duolingo's AI features feel naturally integrated into the gamified learning experience. Try them at duolingo.com.
