Duolingo offers advanced language content for free

Duolingo has made its advanced language learning content, up to the B2 CEFR level, available for free across nine languages on web, iOS, and Android. This includes features like 'Advanced Stories' and 'DuoRadio' to improve reading and listening comprehension without translations. The move aims to enhance user employability in a global market and expand Duolingo's free user base, which currently exceeds its paid subscriber count. While competitors typically charge for similar advanced courses, Duolingo positions itself as the sole free provider at this level. This strategy comes as the company faces a projected slight decline in bookings growth.
