Duolingo, the world’s leading mobile learning platform, has recently announced new features, including Adventures mini-games and Video Call, to help with language learning. These features were announced at the company’s annual Duocon 2024 conference.
Duolingo’s new Video Call feature allows Duolingo Max subscribers to engage in spontaneous, realistic conversations with Lily, one of Duolingo’s most popular characters. This AI-powered tool simulates natural dialogue and provides a personalized, interactive practice environment. Video Call is designed to adapt to the user’s skill level, making it accessible to beginners.
Duolingo’s Adventures is an innovative exploration game-like experience that immerses learners in the vibrant world of Duolingo. Users can explore dynamic settings and storylines, interacting with beloved characters like Oscar and Lily in a fully realized Duolingo universe. Adventures allows learners to apply their language skills to realistic scenarios, blending fun with functional learning.
Duolingo has also announced a partnership with Loog, a portable instrument manufacturer, to create a compact and portable electric piano designed for the Duolingo Music course. This partnership allows learners to practice Duolingo Music lessons on a three-octave electric piano. Additionally, learners can now play along to popular songs from their favorite artists, thanks to Duolingo’s partnership with Sony Music.
