The world’s most popular language learning app, with over 100 million monthly active users.
The project
I joined the company initially as a translator for one of its flagship courses, Spanish for English speakers. A few months later, I was put in charge of doing the final checks and publishing the content for the course.
My team and I successfully created the higher levels of the course, which went on to become Duolingo’s most popular course in terms of active users.
The role also came to incorporate QA tasks, assisting other teams on other language pairs, and collaborating in other projects and experiments.
The challenge
As well as working in several languages (Spanish, English, Italian, French, Portuguese, and Catalan), my work also required a blend of technical skills and linguistic knowledge as I worked as the main liaison between the Learning and Engineering teams.
