Don't worry, though - Duolingo Plus doesn't take away your free language course, it just gets rid of its ads.įor $10 a month, subscribers to Duolingo Plus will get access to an ad-free version of the lessons they already use on the language platform, plus the ability to download those lessons for offline use. Now the company's trying to turn its free language learning tools into a profitable business by introducing a premium service.
