    What is Duolingo?
    Duolingo is a virtual platform in which people can learn several languages
    for free.
    Duolingo´s objective
    "We created Duolingo so that everyone had equal opportunities. Free
    language learning, no additional charges or premium content, just for free.

    Duolingo is used by the richest man in the world and many movie stars, as
    well as students from public schools in developing countries. We believe that
    true equality is when the best education is accessible to all, no matter how
    much money you have“

    -Taken from Duolingo´s website.


    Even Bill Gates uses Duolingo
    For me, Duolingo is terrific. For
    example, Bill Gates, the
    wealthiest man in the world is
    learning with us, along with
    those who could not afford a
    course. That’s what we wanted
    to achieve.
