Duolingo, renowned for its language learning app, is making waves with its syllabus.
The company recently unveiled its foray into mathematics education and teased an upcoming music learning feature. With a commitment to bite-sized, engaging lessons, Duolingo is set to redefine learning experiences once again.
Duolingo Dives into the Math Course
Duolingo's math course is already making a mark on the education landscape. According to Engadget, this is currently available for iOS users.
The course offers a comprehensive range of levels, catering to both elementary and advanced learners. Duolingo's secret sauce here is the set of interactive, gamified lessons that transform math into an enjoyable journey.
Gamified Music Lessons
Duolingo's expansion into music education promises to be a game-changer. By offering over 200+ songs for users to explore, the platform aims to make learning notes and playing tunes a breeze. The course is designed with interactive lessons that make it accessible to anyone, anytime.
According to the shared screenshots, there's a delightful blend of musical notation and piano keys, accompanied by engaging games like "fill in the blanks" and "match the pairs." These elements ensure that learning music is not only effective but also enjoyable.
While Duolingo has provided tantalizing glimpses into its upcoming music app, the full reveal is scheduled for October 11th at the Duocon conference. What we do know is that the course will be free so everyone can access it.

Duolingo Max Fuses With AI
Back in March, Duolingo debuted a new subscription tier that features a GPT-4 AI-powered virtual language tutor.
The Duolingo Max subscription is only available in French or Spanish. In the future, the company envisions expanding it to extra languages.
At the time, those who live in the US, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Ireland are the only ones who can access the subscription tier.
In August, Infosecurity reported that more than 74 million monthly users of Duolingo have had their data leaked on a hacking forum.
Some of the confidential information shared on the platform include login names, user's real names, email addresses, and more.
Based on Duolingo's investigation, the data breach started with an infected API in March 2023. It came as a surprise that it allowed unauthorized access to the linked Duolingo email addresses of the users.
Jason Kent, a security expert at Cequence, said that the Duolingo hackers were focused on manipulating the features of the APIs and mobile apps like bots.
Approov's VP George McGregor quickly lambasted Duolingo for its negligence in handling the breach. According to him, the company missed out on adding verification measures for added protection of the user accounts.
