Duolingo entered 2025 with a new breakthrough with productive artificial intelligence supported. According to the company’s official statement, a total of 148 new language courses were added to the platform at the same time. This development was recorded as Duolingo’s greatest content expansion to date. With the new courses, the number of content that can now be accessed from 28 different user interface languages has increased significantly.
The highest expansion in the new system was for seven popular languages other than English. These languages include Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean and Mandarin. These languages can now be learned from all interface languages supported by Duolingo, including Turkish. Thus, users around the world will be able to receive a more comprehensive language education in their mother tongue.
Duolingo officials, these courses have been prepared with years of work in the past, he said. However, with the commissioning of productive artificial intelligence technology, this process was greatly accelerated. This model, called the “shared content system ında in the internal structure of the company, enables a single basic course to be reproduced with special variations for different languages. In this way, both content production is easier and quality control processes are carried out more effectively.
Content production was reshaped with the new course system supported by artificial intelligence
New courses are not limited to grammar and vocabulary. At the same time Stories And Duoradio Interactive learning tools such as are also presented as part of the system. These contents are especially designed for starter and mid -level users. The courses prepared in accordance with the European Joint Language Reference Framework (CEFR) appeal to A1 and A2 levels. Advanced modules are planned to be available in the following months.
Jessie Becker, the company’s learning design senior director, stressed that artificial intelligence plays an important role in content verification processes. According to Becker, thanks to this technology, teams can focus their expertise on quality. Each of the content is tested to meet Duolingo’s quality standards. In -system controls aim to ensure the consistency and educational competence of the output from artificial intelligence.
Duolingo has recently placed its artificial intelligence strategy at the center of corporate culture. In an internal statement sent to employees by Luis Von Ahn, the founding partner and CEO of the company, Duolingo will now be positioned as a “artificial intelligence priority” company. As an extension of this strategy, some tasks carried out with outsourced employees will be automated over time. However, Von Ahn said that these decisions will be completely based on team -based and situation.
In spite of these developments, some concerns between employees have come up. Particularly in the production of content in content production, the background of human contribution brings some questions in terms of educational accuracy and pedagogical integrity. However, the company says that it has implemented various security mechanisms in this regard. Especially thanks to test systems and internal audit tools, the course content is reported to be continuously reviewed.
With the new courses, access to Asian languages has been expanded. Languages such as Japanese, Korean and Mandarin are no longer not only in English, but also to all supported interface languages. This change offers an important advantage in the language learning process, especially for users who want to learn in their mother tongue. In addition to all these, Turkish -speaking users now have the opportunity to learn these languages in their mother tongue.
With this step, Duolingo not only increases the number of courses, but also expands the role of artificial intelligence in education. Accelerating content production seems to allow the platform to access new users faster. However, in the long run, the sustainability of this model and the effects on learning should be carefully monitored. While the role of technology is strengthened in education, pedagogical responsibilities should not be ignored.
