Intro
Have you ever wanted to learn a new language but got bored with those old textbooks? Duolingo has a secret – they make learning so fun, it feels like playing a game! Let’s discover how they do it and how you can use in your own projects.
It’s All About the Fun – Gamification

- Why it’s cool: Learning can feel hard, but games make it exciting. Duolingo makes you want to keep trying
- How to apply it: Can you turn your lessons or tasks into little challenges with rewards?
Breaking it Down – Clear Navigation
- The Idea: Duolingo has a skill tree. It looks like a map showing you where to go next.
- Why it’s cool: Big languages can be scary! The skill tree breaks everything into small steps, so you don’t get lost.
- How to apply it: If your project has lots of parts, can you make a roadmap to help people find their way?
Oops! Let’s Try Again – The Feedback

Lessons that Fit Just Right – Personalization
