For example, for each word in the curriculum, Duolingo keeps track of how many times the user has seen it, how many times the user has got it correct, the conditions under which the user got it correct, and how long it’s been since the user has practiced it. Each question or challenge in the test is adaptively chosen based on the previous question, and whether you got it right or wrong.Īs the users become more proficient, they start to interact with the content in different ways. When opening the app for the first time, users start with Duolingo’s AI-driven adaptive placement test which probes them with real exercises they would take during the course - so the users who have some knowledge of the language don’t have to start at the beginning of the most basic course. From the user experience point of view, this helps the users focus on the task at hand and spare the cognitive overload of rest of the curriculum. Users can unlock the next skill and see the contents of the chapters only after completing the firstl level of all the previous skills. The skills are broken furtherly into levels and levels into bite-sized chapters that can be completed in a couple of minutes. So, let’s get started! What can we learn from Duolingo?

In the first part, I analyze some of the product design choices that make Duolingo an effective product. I have structured the article in two parts. It’s about the product design lessons that I learned during my journey. That said, this article is not about the importance of self-discipline and the benefits of multilingualism. Today is the 400th day of my non-stop practice 😂.
