No matter how widespread is English all over the world, in some countries, they don’t know English.

So coming to the point, we offer you an app that is a free way of learning new languages. Duolingo has over 70 million subscribers and comes with a comfortable and eye-catching design.

For a tourist or a traveler having Duolingo at hand will mean never worrying about serious language barrier issues or getting lost and not being able to ask anyone your way back, say, to your hotel. For example, Duolingo can help you to learn Standard Chinese so you can feel more comfortable when traveling to China.
