The New Yorker x Duolingo

What readers are saying

this has replaced tiktok on my bus ride to uni

Reads like a 10 minute New Yorker article. I try to do one every morning for productivity.

I'm not really a reader but these are genuinely hard to put down. Absolutely loving the WW1 learning path, it is my favourite so far!!

Downloaded it a few weeks ago and the black holes article just sucked me in lol. Quietly becoming one of my fav apps.

The Julius Caesar path is actually awesome lol. Like bingeing a mini-Netflix series.

I read the stoicism article last week and have been trying to implement some of the modern practises. pretty cool.

I listen while making dinner. Good way to fill the time with something useful and pretty interesting too.

showed this to my dad and now he uses it more than me. He's on his third learning path apparently
